Today I have a really awesome conversation with my friend Anna, a May 2020 nursing school graduate and new grad RN working on a geriatric psychiatry and chronic pain unit in Baltimore. We talk about her experience balancing nursing school with college student life, how COVID impacted her experience during her last semester of nursing school, and coping with loneliness and anxiety during her transition to her new job. I loved talking to Anna because I can tell she totally GETS IT - as young adults and new nurses, our experiences may be different from the older, more experienced nurses on our unit, but as healthcare workers our experiences are different from our other young adult peers. And that dichotomy can be super isolating. Anna has such a great mindset and shares her insights about coping and growth during this time. I hope you take away as much from hearing this conversation as I did having it!
