Nurse Ashley Cardin on Setting Boundaries and Self-Care in Tough Times
“We have to ask for what we need before we get burnt out. Sometimes we are so easy for us to just roll over and take whatever it is, because we're givers, but you can only do that for so long.”
Feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of nursing, especially during a pandemic? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Sweat & Reflect', host Meredith Coviello Felice chats with Ashley Cardin, a nurse, podcaster, and community builder, about the unique challenges nurses face today. Ashley doesn’t hold back—she's all about real talk and practical advice. From setting boundaries to prioritizing self-care, Ashley shares how nurses can navigate their demanding roles without burning out.
She talks about the importance of asking for help and speaking up when assignments are unsafe or when you're guilted into extra shifts.

Through her podcast, 'The Nursing Co-op', Ashley has created a space for nurses to connect and share their stories.
