Better Every Shift for Nurses
Shift Eight -I realised I knew everything and nothing
Ever felt technically confident, only to realize there’s a whole new level of understanding waiting for you? Wondered if excellence is a finish line or a journey? Or found yourself growing most in the messy, uncomfortable moments? This episode explores how our “best” is always evolving, and why that’s something to celebrate.
Drawing on our own stories, we unpack the many shifts we had to make from technical competence to holistic care, and how growing mastery means seeing the whole person and the system. We talk about excellence as an ongoing process—one that’s shaped by reflection, learning, and transformation, not just ticking technical, clinical boxes. We share why discomfort is a sign you’re stretching and how lifelong learning keeps us resilient and adaptable, no matter your role or seniority.
If you’re a nurse or healthcare leader who wants to keep growing, challenge your assumptions, and support your team’s development, this episode is for you. Tune in for practical insights, a few laughs, and a reminder that we’re all in this learning journey together.
Ready to reflect, grow, and lead with us? Listen now and join the conversation—your next shift in thinking could start here.
Everyone who enters health care wants to do the best they can - for their patients, their colleagues, and themselves. But wanting to do your best is only the beginning. True excellence isn’t a fixed point; it’s a process of personal and professional growth, reflection, and transformation.
At Better Every Shift, we dive into real stories that reveal how our “best” is something that evolves as we learn, stretch, and allow ourselves to mature. Together we explore the messy, inspiring, and sometimes uncomfortable moments that shape us into more effective clinicians and leaders.
