When new nurses enter the profession, they’re told to “toughen up” — but what they really need is support, balance, and space to be human.

In this week’s episode of The Happy Nurse Podcast, I’m joined by nurse educator and coach Deanne Geddes , who shares her powerful insights on helping graduate nurses transition into practice with confidence and care.

We talk about burnout, identity, boundaries, and why thriving as a nurse isn't about being the toughest — it's about being the most human.

Let this conversation remind you that self-care is not selfish — it’s essential to sustain your career and your compassion.

This is me, out in nature, where I’m happy. After spending the working week in a fluorescently lit, windowless box (I’m a theatre nurse) it’s VERY important for me to reconnect with nature. I grew up in the Highlands of Scotland, surrounded by hills and forests. 🌳 I’m a country girl at heart 💓 Social prescribing is on the rise for a reason. We are meant to spend time outside. Our bodies need fresh air and sunlight. It’s scientifically proven to have a positive impact on our mental health and overall wellbeing.

What do you wish you could go back and tell your student nurse self?

Feeling stretched thin, exhausted, or like you’ve lost parts of yourself after giving so much to others? 💙

"Nurture yourself as you nurture others. You deserve this!" is a powerful reminder that prioritising self care isn't selfish; it’s essential.

Many nurses face burnout in silence, juggling immense responsibilities while neglecting their own wellbeing. That’s precisely why I developed a 15 week Group Coaching Experience tailored for Nurses. It's a safe space to pause, reconnect, and blossom. ✨

I invite you to reflect on how can you nurture yourself today? Comment BLOSSOM for a free Shift Survival Guide and more info about the BLOSSOM Group Coaching Experience.

As I reflect on my own journey as a nurse, I often remind myself of the powerful truth behind the phrase, "You can't pour from an empty cup." It has taken time to realise that prioritising self care isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity. Many of us face challenges of burnout and emotional fatigue in this demanding field, making it essential to fill our own cups before we can serve others effectively. Today, I encourage you to take a moment for yourself-whether it’s enjoying a warm cup of coffee, journaling about your thoughts, or simply taking a deep breath amid the chaos.

As I reopen limited one-to-one coaching spots, I’m reminded of the strength in vulnerability. It's completely okay to seek support, our wellbeing matters more than we often realise in the nursing.

Finding balance can feel challenging, especially with the demands of our profession. I’ve found that taking moments for self reflection and prioritising self care practices can make all the difference.

Let’s embark on this journey together! I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. How do you prioritise your self care? What’s your note to yourself today?
