Top Questions Answered

1. What inspired you to become an advocate for nurses?

   With 24 years of nursing experience, including 22 years at the bedside, I’ve seen the challenges nurses face daily. From ICU to ER, travel nursing, and more, I’ve walked in your shoes. This journey has fueled my passion for supporting nurses, ensuring they feel educated, empowered, and confident in their roles.

   
   

2. How can nurses protect their licenses?

   Education is your best defense. Always chart meticulously, know your scope of practice, and stay updated on Board of Nursing (BON) policies. If you ever receive a letter from the BON, don’t panic! Reach out to someone who can guide you through the process (hint: that’s what I’m here for).

   
   

3. What is the most common mistake nurses make?

   Nurses often underestimate the importance of documentation. Remember, “If it wasn’t documented, it wasn’t done.” Take your time to ensure your notes are clear, thorough, and accurate.

   
   

4. How do you handle stress and burnout as a nurse?

   Self-care is non-negotiable. I shared practical tips, such as setting boundaries, finding a supportive community (like our Facebook group!), and seeking help when you need it. Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup.
