An Open Letter To Nurses…
Have you ever walked out of a shift feeling completely drained…
Like you gave everything and somehow, it still wasn’t enough?
Have you pushed through exhaustion, followed every policy, shown up with compassion—
Only to feel ignored, unsupported, or left to figure it all out alone?
If you’re nodding your head… you’re not the only one.
Hi, I’m Teresa Sanderson.
And more than 30 years ago, I walked into my very first clinical rotation wide-eyed and eager—only to experience what so many of us know too well:
“Nurses eat their young.”
I was a student. Just trying to learn.
And instead of support, I was met with hostility, judgment, and dismissal.
Thankfully, I had one incredible nursing instructor who changed everything.
She stood up for us. Modeled assertive, professional communication.
And shut down the toxic behavior happening on that floor—in real time.
I never forgot that moment.
It was my first glimpse of what leadership in nursing should look like.
But it was only one moment… in a long career filled with very different ones.
The truth is—toxic nursing culture has existed in 90% of the workplaces I’ve been in over the last three decades.
And I’ve had to learn, on the fly, how to survive it.
How to be assertive without being labeled “difficult.”
How to stop a bully mid-sentence.
How to say no with confidence—and still keep my job.
These skills became my survival kit.
They gave me longevity in a profession that burns far too many of us out.
But here’s what I know now:
No nurse should have to figure this out alone.
That’s why I created the Nurses Feed Their Young® Movement—to call out toxic culture, and to create a future where nurses lift each other up instead of tearing each other down.
And now, it’s time for the next step.
Introducing the Thriving Nurse Network—a powerful, nurse-led support community built by nurses, for nurses.
This is where real healing happens.
Where we hold each other up.
Where we give each other the tools, encouragement, and truth we never got from our institutions.
So if you’re tired of surviving… and ready to truly thrive—
You belong here.
Because nurses like you want to…
🌿 Feel supported by people who truly understand what you’re going through...
🌿 Learn how to navigate burnout, toxic culture, and career uncertainty with strength and clarity...
🌿 Be surrounded by other nurses who lift each other up—not tear each other down...
🌿 Finally feel like you belong somewhere in this profession again.
That’s exactly what you’ll find inside the Thriving Nurse Network—
A safe, empowering, nurse-led space where you can breathe again, connect deeply, and grow stronger every day.
And the best part?
We’ve just opened the doors.
For the very first time.
So if you’ve been waiting for a sign—this is it.
Wanna know more?
Keep reading. 💬
And when you’re ready to join us,
I’ll see you inside.
With joy and gratitude,
Teresa Sanderson
Founder, Nurses Feed Their Young® & Creator of Thriving Nurse Network
You’re a nurse, leader, or nursing student who knows deep down that something has to change.
You could be burned out and exhausted—tired of trying to power through another shift while silently screaming on the inside.
You might still love the profession… but you’re questioning whether you can keep doing it like this.
Or maybe you’re somewhere in between—managing just enough to keep going, but constantly wondering if this is really what nursing is supposed to feel like.
Ultimately, you want to feel supported, seen, and strong in your career again.
Period.
Whether you’re a…
→ Seasoned nurse who wants to stay in the profession—but on your terms, not the system’s.
→ New grad trying to find your footing in a field that’s tougher than anyone prepared you for.
→ Nurse leader or educator who’s tired of watching good nurses burn out and walk away.
→ Student or aspiring nurse who doesn’t want to inherit the same broken culture the rest of us have had to survive.
→ An established or novice nurse entrepreneur creating a different source of income so you can have more financial control.
You’re in the right place.
Inside Thriving Nurse Network, I’m going to give you exactly what I wish I had when I was at my breaking point:

✨ Real strategies to help you protect your peace and stay in this profession without losing yourself.
✨ A safe space where healing, growth, and leadership all live in the same room.
And you’ll get access for an outrageously affordable price—because this kind of support should never be out of reach for the people who care for everyone else.
Build real confidence in yourself as a nurse—not just in your skills, but in your ability to speak up, set boundaries, and lead from wherever you are.
Discover how to reconnect with what you want from your career, so you’re not just reacting to the chaos—but actually creating a path that aligns with your values and your life.
Get crystal-clear on how to protect your mental health, navigate toxic workplace dynamics, and take your next steps in nursing with support from nurses who get it.
Access ongoing inspiration, encouragement, and practical tools that help you move from burnout to balance—without needing to leave the profession you once loved.
Receive expert guidance from experienced nurses who have walked through the fire—plus real-time coaching, support, and conversations that remind you: you’re not alone.
Connect with a powerful community of nurses from every specialty and stage of the journey who will cheer you on, support you through the hard days, and celebrate your wins big and small.
And so much more...
(Meaning MORE Strength. MORE Support. And MORE of the life you imagined when you first chose this path.)
Here’s Exactly What’s Waiting for You Inside…
Every nurse reaches that moment eventually:
"I can’t keep doing this... but I don’t know what else to do."
I’ve been there, too.
After more than 30 years in nursing—through leadership roles, clinical chaos, and personal burnout—I’ve learned that what nurses need most isn’t another policy or pep talk.
It’s real, sustained support from people who understand what it’s like to live this life.
Over time, I gathered the tools, skills, and strategies that helped me not just survive—but stay in this profession and reclaim the parts of myself I thought were gone.
And now, I’ve gathered everything I’ve learned into one place:

Not even close!
Most programs offering this level of expert-led training, live sessions, and career-changing community easily go for $5,000, $10,000… even $25,000 or more per year.
And truthfully? With everything packed into the Thriving Nurse Network, I could charge that and feel good about it.
But that would never help me achieve my goal of serving and supporting as many nurses as possible.
I didn’t create the Thriving Nurse Network to be just another thing nurses can’t afford.
I created it because I know what it feels like to be burned out, unsupported, and stuck—and I wanted to build the space I wish I had years ago.
I’m not here to add to your stress.
I’m here to help you heal, grow, and build a career—and a life—you actually love.
That’s why I’ve made Thriving Nurse Network incredibly affordable.
Normally, membership is $47/month—which would still be a steal considering everything included.
But right now, for a limited time, you can join for just $37/month.
And when you enroll before the doors close, you’ll lock in that rate for as long as you stay—even when the price goes up later.
But here’s the thing…
The doors close at midnight on April 25, 2025.
And once they close, they’re closed. No late entries. No exceptions.
Why?
Because I want to give our new members the focused attention and support they deserve.
That means bringing everyone in at once—then turning our energy inward to serve you.
If you miss the window, you’ll have to wait for the next round—and the price may be higher.
And if you're wondering, “What if it's not for me?”—no pressure.
There are no contracts. No long-term commitments.
If you join and realize it’s not the right fit? You can cancel anytime, no questions asked.
Every once in a while someone cancels and wants to join again later.
You can always do that, but you'll have to wait until the doors open again.
And, the price may be higher.
But I have a feeling you’ll want to stay.
Because once you experience this level of support, clarity, and connection—you’ll wonder how you ever got by without it.
Join us today.
Lock in your spot.
And finally feel what it’s like to thrive in nursing and in life!

The support inside
Thriving Nurse Network is worth far more than the price tag...
But if you’re still on the fence…
I know what you're thinking...
Even with the discounted rate and the option to cancel anytime… it still feels like a decision.
And you’re right—it is.
But let’s talk about what you’re really deciding.
When you join Thriving Nurse Network, you’re not just paying for access to content.
You’re choosing support, clarity, and tools that help you stay in nursing—without losing yourself.
Because the alternative?
Is continuing to do it all alone.
Still running on empty.
Still wondering if you’re the problem when it’s the system that’s broken.
Still surviving, when you deserve to thrive.
Inside the network, you’ll learn how to set boundaries, advocate for yourself, explore new opportunities, and reconnect with what matters most—your health, your peace, your purpose.
You’ll also be part of a community of nurses who actually understand what it’s like to walk in your shoes.
And that kind of support? You can’t put a price on it.
This is about building a nursing career that supports your life—not one that drains it.
So yes, it’s a monthly investment.
But it’s also one of the most powerful things you can do for your future.
Because the skills, confidence, and connection you’ll gain here?
You’ll carry with you forever.
And that makes joining now one of the easiest “yeses” you’ll ever say.
+ Get 3 AMAZING Bonuses!
(No long term contracts. Cancel anytime!)
What if I’m so burned out and unhappy that I don’t think I can stay in nursing?
I see you. I’ve been you.
And I want you to know—you’re not broken.
You’re just exhausted from carrying more than any one person should have to.
If you're questioning whether you can keep going, please hear this:
You're not weak for feeling that way. You're human.
I reached that same breaking point myself—after decades in nursing.
The stress, the toxic culture, the never-ending demands… it all caught up with me.
I burned out hard. I was depressed. I didn’t know if I’d ever find joy in nursing—or in life—again.
But that moment became the turning point.
Because what I realized was this: I wasn’t the problem. The system was.
And if I was going to stay in nursing, something had to change.
That’s why I created the Thriving Nurse Network—to be the kind of support I wish I’d had when I was silently falling apart.
A place to catch your breath, find your footing, and figure out what’s next—without pressure, guilt, or shame.
You don’t have to make a big decision today.
You don’t have to know if you’ll stay or leave forever.
You just need a space to be honest about where you are—and support to explore where you could go from here.
This network isn’t about pushing you to stay in a situation that’s harming you.
It’s about helping you reconnect with your purpose, rediscover your power, and create a career—and life—that works for you.
So if you’re feeling done… don’t walk away just yet.
Let us walk with you.
Because sometimes the answer isn’t leaving nursing.
It’s finding a new way to live it.
And that’s exactly what we’re here to help you do.

That’s okay—and you’re not alone. Many members join because they’re at a crossroads. This network gives you space to reflect, recharge, and explore your next steps—whether that’s staying, shifting, or discovering a new path within the profession.
You want your nursing career—and your life—to finally feel like it’s working for you, not draining the life out of you.
You want to feel confident, clear, and supported.
You want to wake up excited for your shift—or for whatever path you choose next.
So many nurses are stuck in survival mode, thinking burnout is just part of the job.
But here’s the truth:
If you don’t have real support...
If you don’t learn how to protect your energy...
If you don’t feel safe enough to speak up...
You keep drowning in a system that wasn’t built to help you thrive.
But when you surround yourself with nurses who’ve been where you are—and are willing to walk with you?
Everything starts to shift.
You get the tools to set boundaries, explore new paths, and finally feel like yourself again.
You stop second-guessing your worth.
You start moving forward—with confidence.
And when that happens?
You become the kind of nurse other nurses look up to.
You reconnect with why you started this journey in the first place.
And you realize—you don’t have to sacrifice your well-being to have a meaningful career.
All of that… starts with one decision: choosing support.
The kind that grows with you and keeps giving—long after you say yes.
You want absolute confidence in how you show up in your nursing career.
Whether you’re communicating with leadership, advocating for a patient, applying for a new role, or setting a boundary—you want to feel solid, calm, and respected.
But here’s what I hear from so many nurses:
“I don’t know how to speak up without it backfiring.”
“I’m afraid I’ll say the wrong thing.”
“I just freeze—I don’t even know what to say.”
That uncertainty?
It keeps you quiet. It keeps you stuck.
And worst of all—it makes you question your own value.
But when you have access to support from a nurse-led community of leaders and experts prepared to guide you with the challenges you face…
That fear? It starts to melt away.
You get support on what to say, how to say it, and when to hold your ground.
You learn how to speak with clarity and confidence—without guilt, without second-guessing.
And you get to practice those skills in a space where you’re safe, supported, and never judged.
Before long, you’re communicating like a leader.
You’re making moves in your career.
And you're finally showing up as the version of you that’s been waiting to emerge.
The confidence is real. The clarity is powerful. And the results? Life-changing.
This is your space to step into it.
