The Hive Nurses Network - Monthly Shift
About
🌿 Welcome to The Monthly ShiftA space for nurses and midwives to connect, grow, and thrive.
If you’ve ever felt that nursing and midwifery can be isolating, overwhelming, or just too much, you’re not alone. The Monthly Shift was created for you, the compassionate, dedicated professionals who give so much to others and rarely have the time or space to fill their own cup.
This monthly gathering is a movement, a shift, in how we connect, learn, and care for ourselves and each other.
Each month we bring together nurses and midwives from all walks of life to explore topics that truly matter: from wellbeing and resilience to leadership, communication, and career growth. You’ll hear from inspiring guest speakers, engage in real conversations, and walk away feeling more grounded, supported, and reconnected to your purpose.
✨ What to Expect
Every Monthly Shift is designed to give you something new, a perspective shift, a personal insight, or a practical skill you can take straight back to your life and work.
You can expect:
Connection: Meet like-minded nurses and midwives who understand the realities of the profession, the highs, the heartbreaks, and everything in between.
Growth: Learn from experienced guest speakers and facilitators who share evidence-based strategies, professional insights, and mindset tools that empower you to thrive.
Support: Feel seen, valued, and heard in a safe and supportive environment where authenticity and compassion come first.
Inspiration: Each session leaves you refocused, reenergised, and ready to take on your next shift, in your career, your mindset, and your wellbeing.
CPD Accreditation: Every attendee receives 1 hour of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and a certificate of attendance to recognise your commitment to ongoing learning and self-improvement.
💬 Why We Call It “The Monthly Shift”
Because it’s more than a meet-up. It’s about creating real shifts in thinking, in energy, and in how we approach our work and our wellbeing.
The Monthly Shift reflects the essence of nursing and midwifery: constant change, growth, and adaptation. But it also represents the shift we all need from surviving to thriving, from burnout to balance, and from feeling isolated to being deeply connected in community.
Each month brings a new theme, guest speaker, and practical focus, meaning you can join any session that resonates with you, or become a member and attend them all. Whether you come once or every month, you’ll always walk away with something valuable, professionally and personally.
🐝 Who It’s For
The Monthly Shift is for every nurse and midwife from students and graduates to experienced clinicians, educators, and leaders.
You’ll fit right in if you:
Want to feel more connected to others in your profession.
Are craving community, not competition.
Need a safe, positive space to reflect, learn, and grow.
Want to earn CPD hours in a relaxed and inspiring way.

No matter your specialty or experience level, you’ll find value, understanding, and belonging here.
