50-60% of new graduate nurses leave the profession within two years.

Read that again.

We don’t have a resilience problem.

We have a leadership and culture problem.

In this episode, Teresa Sanderson sits down with Yasmin Sharifi, RN, OR nurse, former director, and founder of OR RN Mentor, to talk about what’s really happening inside our units.

We discuss:

• Why intimidation-based leadership is still quietly shaping nursing culture

• Why Gen Z nurses are not “too soft”. They’re setting boundaries we should have set 30 years ago

• The steep, isolating first year in the OR

• Why nurses are promoted into leadership without training

• The power of one simple question: “How can I help you?”

Yasmin has 39 years of experience; bedside to director and her message is clear:

“Old ways do not create new paths.

If we want nurses to stay, grow, and lead…

We have to lead differently.”

This conversation is honest. It’s practical. And it’s necessary.

What would have made your first two years in nursing different?
