  • Professional Incivility in Healthcare

    Professional Incivility in Healthcare
    May 14 2026
    Let's revisit a topic we originally covered in early 2020. This episode explores the quieter forms of workplace incivility in healthcare — gossip, exclusion, defensiveness, passive aggression, and the “strong personality” culture many nurses know all too well. We talk about how these behaviors affect communication, teamwork, and psychological safety in clinic settings, why healthcare often normalizes them, and how nurses can protect themselves professionally without losing themselves emotionally in the process.

    I Burned Out and Logged Off: Leaving Bedside Pt 1
    Sep 1 2025
    Nursing Uncensored is back and we have things to discuss!

    After nearly 20 years in bedside nursing, I was burned out, broken down, and ready to walk away from the profession altogether. Then I found a job that changed everything. In this episode, I open up about my decision to leave the hospital, the surprising perks (and grief) that came with it, and how I’m rediscovering what it means to be a nurse on my own terms.

    This episode was recorded in the spring of 2025; before things really got shaken up. Come back for part 2.
