life on the road

Just 5 years in, I felt like the only way I’d survive my nursing career was to leave it for good. And I actually tried that. I accepted a remote job and started a business with the intention of never going back. But I quickly found that I was still sleep-deprived, still uninspired, and still burnt out.

Then, my mom died. And I started asking some big questions about who I am and what type of life I wanted to live — which, crazy enough, eventually led me back to direct patient care — this time in an oncology infusion clinic.

Turns out the answer was never in leaving. It was in figuring out how to build my nursing career in a way that would make the life I wanted possible. And that essentially meant reimagining my nursing career as just another side hustle — because you can totally do that these days. 😜 

In fact, you can make your career (and life!) into whatever you want. And that’s what this lil blog is all about: learning to treat your nursing career as the foundation of the freedom you desire… asking big questions while discovering more about yourself… figuring out how to care for your nervous system better… and ultimately, creating the life of your dreams along the way.
