About this listen
This week on At the Nurses’ Station, we break down Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs in nursing and why understanding it might be the key to supporting new nurses, preventing nurse burnout, and building stronger emergency room teams. From brand new grads who don’t yet know where the IV tubing is, to experienced nurses navigating safety and workplace stress, we explore how physiological needs, belonging, and esteem show up in real hospital life. If basic needs like knowing where supplies are or feeling supported during a critical patient aren’t met, it’s nearly impossible to grow into a confident, competent nurse.
We talk about what it really takes to move from “baby nurse survival mode” to respected, steady team member and why belonging and professional confidence can’t happen before safety and foundational skills are secure. Whether you’re a new grad nurse, travel nurse, charge nurse, or healthcare leader, this episode reframes nurse development through the lens of Maslow’s hierarchy and challenges us to ask: are we expecting self-actualization from nurses who don’t know where US is?
