Our Story: More Than Just a Podcast
Welcome to TalkNursingtoMe, where honest conversations meet professional integrity. Hosted by Mariah, RN, we delve into the realities of nursing, from critical care challenges to professional development and ethical practice. This is a space for nurses who love their profession but feel its weight, seeking growth, advocacy, and a supportive community.
The Journey Behind Talk Nursing to Me
From the intensity of ICU, trauma, neuro, cardiac critical care, and ER, including travel during the pandemic, our founder Mariah, BSN, RN, observed a consistent pattern: nurses carried immense weight with few outlets for processing. Transitioning to nurse education, she saw new nurses struggling with professional identity and educators lacking support. Years of lived experience revealed a profound need for a space dedicated to honest, accountable dialogue about workforce challenges, moral injury, professionalism, and the evolving identity of nursing. This podcast is born from the unwavering belief that nursing still matters, professionalism still matters, and thoughtful conversations are essential for shaping the future of our work.
Finding Validation, not Victimhood
For every nurse feeling the profound weight of this profession, TalkNursingtoMe offers a haven of validation without victimhood, and insight without judgment. We provide thoughtful reflection on moral injury, burnout, professional identity, and the intricate realities of modern healthcare, all while honoring the integrity of nursing. Here, you'll find understanding from someone who has navigated both early-career intensity and seasoned-career exhaustion. We help you find language for what you've been carrying, clarity on system-level challenges, and reassurance that struggling is a sign of humanity, not weakness. Our aim is to foster a community rooted in accountability, growth, and profound respect, moving beyond mere venting to guided and meaningful conversations that fortify nurses from within.
Strengthening Professional Identity
The ultimate aspiration for TalkNursingtoMe is to strengthen professional identity across every stage of a nurse's career – from nursing students drowning in anxiety, new graduates finding their footing, to seasoned clinicians navigating complex systems – ensuring every nurse feels profoundly supported. Nursing is undeniably a heavy profession, demanding exceptional emotional resilience, ethical clarity, and constant adaptation. We want nurses to feel supported not just personally, but professionally – empowered in their growth, their advocacy for patients and themselves, their establishment of healthy boundaries, and their long-term sustainability within this vital career. Join us in building a stronger, more resilient nursing community.
