A Christmas Eve Letter to Nurses

Nursing doesn’t pause for the holidays — and neither do the emotions that come with this work.

In this special Christmas Eve episode of Nursing Lyfe 101, Christopher steps behind the mic solo for a reflective, Office Hours–style letter to listeners. This episode is for nurses who are working the holidays, nurses who are off but still carrying work home, and nurses who are trying to close out the year without losing themselves in the process.

Together, we explore the unseen layers of nursing — emotional labor, moral residue, boundary guilt, and sustainable ambition — and why rest, reflection, and presence matter just as much as productivity.

No quizzes. No rushing. Just an honest conversation for the nurses who keep showing up.

From both Christopher and Colby, thank you for being here — and for being you.
