If you’ve mixed up rooms, fumbled equipment, called someone the wrong name, or cried in the loo, welcome.

You’re not unprofessional.
You’re learning in public.

Tell us your most harmless placement moment. We’ll make it a thread so students stop thinking they’re the only one.

Excited for the webinar in half an hour! If you are around, come and jump on it! It is always interesting to hear about how our physical health impacts our mental health and, in turn, our quality of life.

Not knowing your next step does not mean you’re behind.

It usually means you’re tired and your brain is trying to protect you.

If you’re in an in-between season, what would make tomorrow 5 percent easier? Name that and start there.

Quick reset before your next shift.
🩷 Roster glance
🩷 One snack sorted
🩷 One calm line written down.

Save it for the week your brain starts spiralling on a Sunday.

Burnout doesn’t always arrive loudly.

Sometimes it’s numbness, going quiet, losing interest, counting down shifts.

If that’s you, it’s not weakness. It’s a signal.

What is one small pause you can take today?

I took the kids to Fiji for what was supposed to be a holiday.

The feelings are BIG and they are real! How did you feel about it this year?

I know this is coming up every year and I still cry every time 🥹 It runs soul deep for me...the feeling of the incredible privilege it is to be a Nurse, for people to trust us in their most vulnerable moments, with their most private information and with their most precious people. To all my sistahs re registering, thank you 👏🏼 please wrap yourself up in as much support as possible with places like The Scrub Hub . To those that have chosen not to re register, please be kind to yourself, if you need a shoulder to lean on please reach out 🩷

For now, I'll let the tears fall...we work hard to earn and maintain our registration, the emotions are real! 🥹💕✨🫶🏼🙏🏼

A little unboxing moment for the Nurses who are running on caffeine and pure willpower.
​
This video shows some of what’s inside, but there’s more in the kit, because one pen and a snack does not fix a 12 hour shift. It’s a proper backup pack for real humans in scrubs.
​
Built by someone who’s been there, for Nurses and students who are doing the most.
​
If you want to see what’s included and what’s currently in stock, send us a DM and we'll let you know.

Micro-wins matter.

A calm handover, a kind check-in, someone showing you a skill without making you feel small.

Comment one tiny thing someone did this week that made your shift easier. We need more of that energy.
