Episode When Nursing Becomes Your Identity | The ER Edit Ep. 7
In this episode, we talk about what happens when nursing becomes more than a career and starts becoming part of your identity. From nursing school to years in the ER, we share how the job can shape our minds, our relationships, and the way we carry stress long after a shift ends.
We also open up about how motherhood changed the way we experience nursing, trauma, anxiety, and work life balance. This is a vulnerable conversation about nurse burnout, mental health, PTSD, boundaries, pride in the profession, and learning how to be more than just the title of nurse.
