TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!

Ever felt like you're just done — with the shifts, the drama, the expectations, the trauma? Yeah, same. This week on The Ritual Nurse, we’re talking about real boundaries — not just the kind where you say no to picking up a shift, but the kind that protect your emotional, spiritual, and energetic capacity. Inspired by the new series The Pitt (which hit way too close to home), this episode gets honest about how even watching fictional portrayals of nursing trauma, or even just overextending ourselves on a daily basis, can push us past our limits.

💔 From emotional flashbacks to emergency chaos, and all the boundaries we never learned to set — we’re unpacking it all.

Then, we lighten it up with some hilarious (and horrifying) stories from simulation (what do you MEAN "you have p3nis on your gloves?!") and my own new grad “what even is nursing?!” moments. Because let’s be real — we’ve all got those stories.

Finally, we wrap with this week’s Crystals, Coffee, and Divination:

☕ Coffee: DIY Budget Affogato (yes, you can make it at home and keep it dairy-free!)

💎 Crystal: Amethyst – Lunar Insight (calm, intuition, spiritual wisdom)

🃏 Tarot: The Devil – Labradorite (break the cycle, reclaim your power)

✨ Want to be part of the show? Tell me your best “you didn’t know you didn’t know” story from nursing school or your new grad days! Seriously — I want to read them on air. We can keep it anon. ;) Email me, DM me, or use the feedback form in the show notes.
