About
The Realistic Nurse
I did everything right..
Graduated nursing school. Worked in the ER. Learned how to save lives. And then I burned out—hard.
Not because I wasn’t strong, but because the system was never built to protect us.
That’s why I created The Realistic Nurse.
To give you what I never had:
• The truth nursing school left out
• Tools to protect your mind, body, and career
• Support that actually helps you stay—or leave—on your terms
Whether you’re a student, a new grad, or already deep in doubt—you’re not alone.
And you’re not broken.
You’re just ready for a new way.
