I thought leaving full-time nursing (or building income outside bedside) would feel like instant freedom. Real talk? It still comes with doubt, slow days, and moments where you question everything. But it also comes with something I never want to lose again… control over my time and income. If you’re in the messy middle right now, you’re not behind — you’re building.

how it feels when you’re first starting your business as a nurse coach: https://youtu.be/66ydShvBPYI I looove schitt’s creek and always think back to this scene when I’m trying to describe my business/coaching 😂 TG for Nursepreneur Lab & this community! 🫶🏼 (& CATALYST!!!)

I am new here and looking forward to learning from and supporting everyone. I am a 61 yr old SA nurse who has spend most my career working night shift and in peads. loving every minute of it. Facing retirement and with this new world and our kids scattered all over the world I also have a son and new grandson in the UK. When I planned my pension way back then I never thought It would have to include some very expensive plane tickets. But as they say - where there is a will there is a way - I had my will and I found my way. So here I am learning stuff I never dreamed of. Thank you for excepting me into the community.

Does anyone have any tips for filming yourself? I’ve been wanting to post some content on a new instagram page I’m building but whenever I show my face on my camera I’m such an awko taco it’s not even funny hahah so would LOVE some tips 💞💞🥲

You cannot pour from an empty cup. Nurses are the first ones to tell patients to rest, slow down, drink water, take their medicine, and the last ones to do it for themselves. Had to be forced off my feet today to remember that I am not exempt from needing rest. And neither are you. Your finances, your patients, your family… none of it works better when you are running on empty. So today's question is simple 👇 What is ONE thing you do (or wish you did) to actually take care of yourself? No judgment. Rest counts. Netflix counts. Sleeping in counts. Drop it below let's normalize nurses taking care of nurses. 💚
