Every other week I’m republishing one of my most popular or impactful episodes and adding an update, new insight, or context that will help you benefit from it even more. This week I’m highlighting Episode #69, which is all about imposter syndrome. I’ve talked about imposter syndrome time and time again to different groups of nursing students and that’s because almost every single person can relate.

If you’ve ever said to yourself, “I don’t belong here” or “They’re going to find out I don’t know what I’m talking about” then you may very well suffer from imposter syndrome.

Press play and we’ll talk about why imposter syndrome is so common in nursing students and why it has absolutely nothing to do with how amazing you actually are.
