I know what I’m about to say is unpopular, and maybe even controversial within our field — but I need to say it. I’ve been a nurse for 18 years. I care deeply about my patients, and I care about the future of this profession.
No matter how skilled, experienced, or educated, many nurses carry a quiet but constant weight: insecurity. From second-guessing their clinical decisions to wondering if they’re “good enough,” these feelings often go hand in hand with imposter syndrome...
