Episode #37
Show Notes:
So many of us get into nursing school with a preconceived notion of what we want our nursing career to look like, only to either have that change through our schooling experience or have it blocked from us for a time. This is the case for my guest this week, Melissa, an RN in Las Vegas, NV. When her nursing job of choice was unavailable she found alternative jobs that not only showed her the various places nursing can lead, but also continued to add valuable nursing tools, knowledge, and skills to her "tool box". True she may not have landed her "dream job" yet, but she is becoming a better, wiser, and more experienced nurse through her adventures in the "atypical" jobs she has found. Tune in to learn how this wonderful nurse overcame doubts and fears about nursing school, what neat jobs she has discovered and enjoyed, and her two most important lessons she has learned from nursing so far!
