The Superpower of All Great Nurses: Resilience

If there’s one thing people often say after speaking with me, it’s how passionate I am about patient advocacy. And they’re right—it’s a fire that burns deep in me. But that passion didn’t just appear overnight.

It was forged in hardship.

Both inside and outside the walls of healthcare, I’ve seen challenges that required me to become stronger, more resilient, more focused. And over time, that resilience has shaped me—not just as a nurse and advocate, but as a leader and mentor to others looking to reclaim their purpose.

Ironically, I don’t always see these traits in myself. But when people recognize them, I’m humbled—and reminded of just how vital resilience is in nursing.

COVID-19 Reshaped Nursing Forever

Nurses have always been tough. But those who weathered the storms of the COVID-19 pandemic tapped into a level of strength they didn’t know they had.

They became creative problem-solvers in ways never seen before.

They spoke up, advocated fiercely, and held the line for patients and families—

even while battling their own trauma behind the scenes.

I speak with nurses every week who are still living through the ripple effects of that season. Many feel stuck—exhausted, disillusioned, and unsure of what comes next.

But here’s the truth: You are not stuck.

There Has Never Been a Better Time to Explore What’s Next

Today, nurses have more options than ever before.

Hospitals may have told you your value lies in the number of degrees behind your name. But patients will tell you something else entirely:

They don’t care how much you know—until they know how much you care.

And that’s the heart of nursing: compassion. Presence. Advocacy.

Your skills—clinical assessment, communication, intuition, decision-making—are incredibly valuable outside the hospital walls.

That’s why so many nurses are returning to the root of what called them to this profession in the first place: patient advocacy.

The Exit Strategy You’ve Been Waiting For

If you feel like you’re approaching burnout or ready to make a meaningful change, I encourage you to think about what your exit strategy could be.

Whether you’re a nurse, doctor, social worker, or practice manager—

there are real opportunities to build a new future.

Maybe it starts with a single conversation.

Maybe it’s a course or mentorship.

Maybe it’s 13 weeks of hands-on support and coaching.

Whatever it looks like for you—I want you to know this:

You are resilient. You are not stuck. You still love your work. And there is a way forward.

And I would be honored to walk with you on that journey.
