Shift Ten - Nursing's Legacies

Some patients leave our shift; others stay in our bodies for years. In this episode of Better Every Shift, Naomi and Tubi explore the legacies that nursing leaves in us – the patients we still carry, the smells and sounds that transport us back in an instant, and the way our bodies react long after the event is over. Naomi and Tubi unpack why certain patients stay with us, how “first times” and “people who look like our own” land differently, and what happens when we never quite process those moments.Together they explore:How nursing experiences are stored in the body as learned reactions and triggersWhy emotional granularity (finding the right word for what you feel) can calm both brain and bodyThe difference between hot debriefs, cold debriefs and reflective clinical supervision – and when each helpsThe role of nurses in crisis resource management and speaking up in ways others can actually hearPractical strategies to gently process “your people”: breathing, writing, naming emotions, and regular check-insThis conversation is for any nurse, midwife or health professional who has ever found themselves back in a resus bay while standing in a supermarket aisle, or who has wondered, “Why is this patient still with me?”🎧 By the end of this episode, you’ll have:Language for talking about the patients and moments that stay with youA simple writing practice you can use after tough shiftsIdeas for making debriefs safer, kinder and more usefulSmall, repeatable habits to protect your future self from today’s work🔗 Explore more from Better Every ShiftWebsite & Tea Room Notes: bettereveryshift.com.auShare this episode with a colleague who “gets it” and start a conversation about the legacies you both carry.#BetterEveryShift #NursingLegacies #NurseWellbeing #Debriefing #ReflectivePractice #NurseLeadershipJoin our Shift One Crew with On Shift Membership. As a thank you for joining our journey early your membership price will remain at the low price of $15 for the life of your membership.  www.bettereveryshift.com.au/pricing plans
