    2025 Debrief - Things Didn't go as Planned plus Celebrating Our Listeners Achievements

    With 2025 and our travel nursing era coming to an end, we delve into a full recap of the year in this longer than usual (but fun, funny and a little bit night-shift-silly) episode  Spoiler alert: not a lot of what we had on our 2025 bingo card went to plan, but we had a fun time, learnt a lot and made the most of some interesting situations we found ourself in  We also couldn't let this episode air without including some of our amazing listeners achievements from the year as well! We love getting you guys involved with the pod so a huge thank you again to everyone who shared a proud moment  - you make this podcast so much fun for us!  Lastly, we are taking a break over the Silly Season to properly recoup after a busy (BUSY) year (as you will hear in this ep), so we wish you all a wholesome, safe and little bit tipsy festive season  See you in 2026!!

    Burnout in Nursing and How There is Nothing Wrong With You For Experiencing It

    After a burnout related melt down that ended up bringing some beautiful connection and conversation through social media, we decided to unpack some parts of burnout as nurses.  We've both experienced burnout and how tough it can be to work through - especially when you don't want the only solution to be 'just don't be a nurse'.  We talk about how, while we don't have the solution, there are some basic things you can do to protect yourself and help you move through burnout if this is something you are experiencing.  This episode is a great one to share if you know a nursing colleague or friend who may need some kind words of support and advice too.  After all, if we don't look after ourselves and our nursing besties, who will?

    Social Media as a Nurse - Our Love-Hate Relationship

    We know we are not alone on this one...  Sometimes social media can such a positive part of our lives and other times, it's kind of soul destroying  In this episode we have an honest and raw conversation around social media - how it impacts our mental health, our self-confidence and even our workplaces since we have been doing travel nursing around Australia.  Got a topic or question that you want answered on the podcast?  Send them through to nursesibs@gmail.com or on Instagram directly to Nurse Sibs  For the latest podcast news, be sure to follow @nursesibs on Instagram
