Welcome back to Paging the Tea, the podcast where we celebrate the chaos, the growth, and the unfiltered reality of nursing school.

Today we are talking about what happens when nursing school becomes your whole personality — and why that is something to be proud of. From living in scrubs to answering “What’s new with you?” with “I’m still in nursing school,” this season of life hits different.

If your hobbies now include making flashcards, memorizing lab values, and surviving clinicals with caffeine and vibes, just know you are not alone. You are learning how to lead with compassion, think on your feet, and care for people when it matters most.

This episode is your reminder that even when your schedule is packed and your brain is overloaded, you are becoming someone amazing. Nursing school is not just a program — it is a full-on transformation. And you are in it.

Welcome back to Paging the Tea, the podcast for future nurses who are dreaming big, trying their best, and somehow making it work.

This episode is all about embracing your inner delulu — that little voice that says “I’ve got this” even when your notes are a mess and your to-do list is longer than your sleep schedule. Spoiler: sometimes a little blind optimism is exactly what gets you through nursing school.

If you are manifesting success while figuring it out one clinical at a time, this episode is your reminder that believing in yourself (even when it feels delusional) is part of the process. You are doing better than you think.

Welcome back to Paging the Tea, the podcast for nursing students, new grads, and anyone thinking about nursing school.

Today we are talking about imposter syndrome, that feeling like you have no clue what you are doing even when you are doing everything right. It hits everyone in nursing school, in clinicals, and even after you start working.

If you are thinking about becoming a nurse or already deep in your program wondering if you are cut out for it, this episode is for you. Spoiler alert: you are doing better than you think.
