    ENCORE! #292: What is Nurse Shock?

    I remember being a brand-new nurse and thinking my biggest challenge would be learning critical-care pathophysiology. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.

In this encore episode, you’ll learn: 💡 The three main factors that contribute to nurse shock 🩺 How to take care of yourself while learning to care for others 🧠 Why emotional regulation is just as vital as clinical skill 💬 Practical ways to find your footing and feel like yourself again If you’re in that “I thought I’d feel more confident by now” stage — this episode is for you! And because confidence doesn’t come from guessing — it comes from growth — you’re invited to check out a sneak peek inside Confident Nurse Academy 2.0. 🎥 Watch the sneak peek video Inside CNA, you’ll find actionable tools to strengthen your clinical judgment, manage your shifts with calm efficiency, and rebuild your confidence from the inside out.
