Listen "When Nurses Feel Like They Have Nothing Left to Give: aka the "oh f*$K I'm running on empty" episode"
Episode Synopsis
TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!Burnout is an all-too-familiar foe for many nurses, but what if humor helps you breathe? Is your overstimulated self fighting for your life right now? Pop an earbud, I'm here for it.Join me, Riva, your Ritual Nurse, as I share my personal journey of navigating nurse burnout while managing ADHD, and uncover the invaluable role humor plays in overcoming the daily grind. We'll explore the relentless exhaustion nurses face both at work and home, and how humor can lighten the load and foster a sense of camaraderie among colleagues and friends.Stress is more than a feeling; it alters your neurochemistry, impacting your ability to bounce back. I reflect on my own experiences, likening moments of respite in the nutrition room (LOL) to "peanut butter, graham crackers, and milk" breaks that recharge the soul. Discover the science behind stress relief and learn how identifying your own simple rituals can offer much-needed relief from the unyielding demands of nursing. By sharing your stories, we can create a community of support and resilience.The chaos of healthcare work requires quick resets tailored for those of us who struggle with executive functioning, especially those with ADHD. From box breathing to savoring a snack, I offer practical strategies for regaining balance. With a touch of humor, we delve into the necessity of self-care, emotional release, and embracing personal rituals that sustain us. Whether you're facing the overwhelm of current events or the challenges of everyday nursing, you'll find comfort and connection in this heartfelt conversation.Link to tell me your stories!!! https://tcth.org/the-ritual-nurse-podcast/Support the showHey!
