Let’s talk to Nurse Patrick

Written By Anthem Postnikoff

In this honest and emotional episode, Patrick shares his journey from an overwhelmed new med-surg nurse to finding confidence, support, and a healthier path in nursing.

We talk about:

  • The mental and emotional weight of early practice

  • Experiencing burnout as a new nurse

  • Learning to ask for help without shame

  • Changing units and rediscovering confidence

  • The reality that growth in nursing isn’t linear

If you’ve ever questioned whether you were cut out for nursing — you are not alone. Patrick’s story is a reminder that success in healthcare isn’t about being perfect — it’s about learning, adapting, and protecting your well-being.
