In Episode 005 of Stirring the Shot Podcast, Tracey & Tiffany interview Traci Powell, MSN, PMHNP-BC, CTTS, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) who is owner of her own practice. Traci discusses her “Why” story and how it evolved through her career. Listen as they tackle the tough topics: nursing suicide, work-related anxiety/depression, trauma, and toxicity. Find out why Traci dislikes the “superhero” label for nursing and why it sets up impossible standards. Traci offers advice for nurses to re-center, be mindful, and discusses resources/strategies to support positive mental health. Finally, the trio discuss Traci’s Facebook group, Nurses Healing Nurses, and her plans to expand. #nurseshealingnurses #stirringtheshot
