Imposter syndrome is when you feel like you don’t actually deserve what you’ve achieved, even if you’ve worked hard for it, which is both kinda weird but also extremely common. A really easy tip to start overcoming it is, instead of listening to the voice in your head that says “I don’t belong here,” start paying attention to real evidence. Feelings can lie, but facts usually don’t.

Proof can be simple things, like how you have overcome things, grown personally or had success in an area of life. When you write these things down or remember them properly, it becomes harder for your brain to say you’re “faking it.” You’re not guessing anymore - you’re looking at real moments that show what you’re capable of.

This helps because imposter syndrome is mostly about forgetting your wins and focusing only on your mistakes. Everyone messes up, even people who look super confident. The difference is that confident people don’t use mistakes as proof they don’t belong. They see them as part of learning, not a sign they’ve been exposed.

So when that imposter feeling shows up, don’t argue with it emotionally. Just pull out your proof. Remind yourself of what you’ve already done and how far you’ve come. You don’t need to feel confident all the time, you just need enough evidence to keep going. And over time, that’s how confidence actually grows.

Reflecting on a stay in hospital for surgery recently highlighted to me the importance of valuing nursing.
Nurses were involved in every step of my journey. From the time I stepped inside the hospital it was evident the breadth of nursing expertise utilised in order to deliver excellent patient care… to the time i was wheeled out to the car on discharge.
⭐️pre- operatively.
⭐️intra operatively in-theatre.
⭐️post op recovery .
⭐️immediate post op on the ward.
⭐️assistance with mobilising
⭐️discharge planning
⭐️education
⭐️encouragement to walk on a new joint.

Another thing that really struck me was these nurses were happy in their roles.
They love their jobs andd for all the right reasons❤️

It was really noticeable and
I was interested to know why.
Naturally -
Nurses + NP inpatients chat between obs/meds rounds - nurses are always keen to share stories , thats the collegial nature of the role. And so we did.

They put this down to work culture and leadership, respect for each other and what that looked like, better pay, support, wide variation in skills required and the support to learn and grow was highly valued , experiential learning - a surgical ward with a broad variety of surgery. Regular education and collaboration, feeling part of a team regardless of whether dr or nurse, cleaner or kitchen habs, physio or OT, clinical or manager.

One thing that stood out the most was these nurses felt they were making a difference to patients, while simultaneously being supported to do so.

The value of nursing regardless of role within the profession is so pivotal going forward. Nursing is adaptable, roles are expandable but at the same time indispensable.

We need to look after our nurses ❤️ and recognise the value they bring to patient care.
We need to stop burning them out.
We need to start paying them their worth.
We need to expand our nursing workforce for the future , and not clip their wings.
Encourage them to stay, and give them reason to stay.

Thank you for the reminders of why i have lived and loved my nursing career
