When Nurses Attack: Emotional Regulation, Shame, and the Culture We Don’t Want to Admit We Built

In this episode, Tiffany dives straight into the deep end of nursing culture — the shame, the projection, the emotional immaturity, and the generational baggage we’ve been dragging into the profession for decades. Sparked by the heated (and revealing) response to her viral Instagram post about the reclassification of nursing graduate degrees, Tiffany breaks down why nurses are so quick to attack, why women-centered fields struggle with healthy conflict, and how emotional intelligence is the foundational skill we’ve never been taught but desperately need.

She also walks through the 5 conflict resolution styles, the neuroscience behind emotional triggers, and how unhealed family patterns shape how nurses talk to and treat each other. This is not a warm-and-fuzzy episode — it’s a mirror. But it’s also an invitation to do better.
