Confidence doesn't develop in isolation.

Every new nurse needs people who encourage growth, provide support, and help them recognize their own potential.

In this clip from the Beyond Nurse Residency Podcast, Rachel Kelter shares why connection matters. As new graduate nurses navigate challenges, build skills, and find their footing, supportive relationships can play a powerful role in developing confidence and self-esteem.

Whether you're a new graduate nurse, preceptor, educator, or leader supporting novice clinicians, this conversation offers valuable insights into helping others grow and thrive.

What helps nurses feel like they truly belong?

In the latest Practice & Implementation Blog, IONRP Coordinator Jessica Ociepka reflects on an important question inspired by a recent Beyond Nurse Residency podcast conversation on belonging and loneliness in the workplace.

While we often think about helping new nurses feel connected, belonging matters to everyone, including experienced nurses and leaders. Jess shares practical examples of how small moments of connection can make a lasting impact on engagement, wellbeing, and retention.

The moments that shape a nurse's professional growth are often the ones we overlook.

A meaningful conversation with a mentor. Positive feedback from a leader. A goal achieved. A challenge overcome.

In Building Esteem Through Evidence, Nicole Weathers shares how these experiences help nurses recognize their growth, value, and impact over time. It's a fresh perspective on why esteem matters and how organizations can support the development of engaged, confident nurses.
