“Nurses eat their young.”
Yeah… we’ve all heard it.
And for a long time, it was treated like a rite of passage instead of a red flag.
But here’s the thing 👇
New graduates aren’t lollies to be chewed up — they’re seeds 🌱
They bring fresh eyes, curiosity, evidence-based practice, and a reminder of why many of us started in the first place.
The culture we create matters.
When we teach instead of test,
support instead of scare,
and guide instead of gatekeep —
we don’t just grow better nurses…
we build safer teams, stronger care, and a profession we can actually be proud of.
Let’s be known as the generation that feeds, fosters, and grows our new grads — not the ones that finished them off
Because healthcare gets better when we leave the profession stronger than we found it.
What kind of nurse do you want to be remembered as?
