I am so excited to have the founder/creator of Simple Nursing on MY podcast! Having Michael on here is probably the closest to a celebrity ill ever get to LOL! But you know what is so great about him? He is totally relatable and down to earth!!  I found Michael when I was in nursing school, the year was 2013 and I was learning my ABGs. For some reason I was not understanding them!! That’s when I turned to YouTube and found Simple Nursing! Michael had a way of making things really click, he had great pneumonics and visual aids that helped me retain important information. From then on whenever I was studying I would turn to Simple Nursing to find other helpful videos.  Michael’s real passion is teaching, so he continues to make videos, helping nursing students understand core content. Simple Nursing grew and grew, it has now helped over 100,00 nurses and with over 90% NCLEX pass rate! Not only does Simple Nursing have great visual aids and pneumonic, Simple Nursing does tons of research to make sure their content is not only up to date but relevant to the NCLEX! They offer NCLEX style questions with rationales to help you take your test taking skills TO THE NEXT LEVEL!

Episode Fourteen: The Amanda & Amanda Show

Sarah Gaines

Figure

This episode of Nursing School Struggle, I talk to Sarah Gaines aka “the 6 figure travel nurse”. Sarah talks to us about what it’s like to be a travel nurse. Sarah has been a Labor and Delivery travel nurse for 5 years and it took time for her to gain the skills and knowledge on how to perfect the “travel contract”. She now takes this experience and has made “The 6 Figure Travel Nurse Course” so you don’t have to make the same mistakes every newbie traveler makes!! MAXIMIZE YOUR PAYCHECK AND YOUR TIME! Sarah tells us the story of how she finally decided to become a traveler! She was working as a staff nurse on a L&amp;D unit, she  was getting mandated overtime and had NO SUPPORT from her managers. Does this sound familiar? I hope not! But.. I’ve worked for places like this and I’m sure you have too! Sarah made the decision to travel and she hasn’t turned back since!Links:Instagram: @sarah_gaineshttps://www.instagram.com/sarah_gaines/Website: https://www.sarahgaines.com

Episode Thirteen: Sarah Gaines the 6 Figure Travel Nurse!

I remember hearing in Nursing School that I was supposed to graduate with a job, and if I ever wanted to get anywhere with my Nursing career, I had to be a medical surgical nurse for at least two years AND there was a good change I would have to do night shift because, as a new nurse I would have to put in “my time”. WELL let me tell you I did neither AND I have gained TONS of knowledge and love all the choices I have made. It was the last semester of nursing school, senioritis has kicked in. My usual straight A’s has dropped to a B. All I can think about is graduation and passing my NCLEX. Although, I can’t wait to graduate and pass my NCLEX I have no idea what kind of nurse I want to be. I’ve worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and a Certified Residential Medication Assistant (CRMA) for 5 years in an assisted living facility. I’ve always excelled at my job, working my way up, always asking for more responsibilities. If I’m bored I want more.  My two years of nursing school, I did clinicals in med surg, maternity and psych. As graduation was coming closer I knew what I didn’t want, but had no clue what I really wanted to do. I knew I didn’t want to work med surg. I knew I didn’t/couldn’t work overnights.  Students around me are applying to jobs, most of them are getting overnight positions in hospitals in their home towns. I live further away and the only hospital in my area is a Magnet status hospital which means it only hires Bachelor Degree Registered Nurses and at this time I was getting my Associates degree.   I’ve always thought I wanted to be an Emergency Room Trauma Nurse, but being a new grad with my associates degree there was no way I could get into a hospital without my BSN or without my “2 years of med surg experience”. So I applied to a few programs for new grads. I applied to some ICU, Cardiac/Tele units. Anything but overnights and med surg please! I landed a job at the State Prison, I LOVED it! I was hired full time DAY SHIFT! I stayed there 3 1/2 years and then applied to the Emergency Room. I rocked my interview and nailed my peer interview and now have my dream job as a trauma nurse!MORAL of the story is you don’t have to do what everyone tells you to. Do what works for you, your career, your family ect! There are so many options as a Nurse. Med surge it LITERALLY a small percentage of what you can actually do with your license.

Episode Twelve: Walking off the Beaten Path

@debtfreeweirdosI reached out to Chelsa months ago, I wanted HER on this podcast to talk to us about debt! Chelsa is a nurse,  wife and a mom of 3 kiddos! Chelsa is so relatable so I knew she was the perfect choice to come on the Nursing School Struggle Podcast. Chelsa and her husband have paid over $100,000 in debt in only 2 years!! That is so amazing! She follows the Dave Ramsey baby steps. If you don’t know them… here they are. I’ll also put information in the links below. Save $1,000 for an emergency fundPay off Debt SMALLEST TO LARGEST. Once you pay off one debt use that monthly payment plus what you had been paying before for the current bill to pay for the next debt, so on and so on. SO each time your payments are getting larger and larger and your paying of debt faster!3-6 months Living Expenses in an Emergency Fund 15% of your income into retirement savingsSave for your Children’s College FundPay off the House EARLY!BUILD WEALTH!! TAKE A MOMENT AND THINK… What would my monthly income be if I didn’t have aCar PaymentCredit Card PaymentStudent Loan PaymentIt would be pretty significant right?! For me and my husband we would be looking at an extra $1,200 A MONTH! ……..SERIOUSLY?! …….That would be $14,400  CASH MONEY in our savings or to put in as investments a year! YOU GUYS, as nurses we have such an amazing opportunity to pick up shifts or even work “princess shifts” work per diem for extra money ect. Say No to the credit card, work hard and pay off those student loans and DONT buy a brand new car! A few things I did this month to maximize my pay check and to decrease my bills wereI Lowered my cable ( I wish we didn’t have to have cable, but in order to have internet we had to have basic cable)Changed our phone contractsI currently stopped putting money into my 401K..at least until my debt is paid off Rechecked my tax withholdingsPicked up an extra shift each week! Some were small shifts like 4-5 hours but its MORE INCOME! Take a few hours, sit down and write down ALL your debt, smallest to biggest. You can do this. Follow the links below to get motivated!

Episode Eleven: I Bet Your In Debt! With Chelsa aka @debtfreeweirdos

Subscribe to Bjorn hall stethoscopes on youtube! I started following Nurse Jenny on her Instagram a while ago. One of the many reason I started my podcast was to find and support nurse businesses. Jenny found a passion in creating a stethoscope that tailored to our needs perfectly! She really took the time to find what made a stethoscope perfect. She will even tell us that she had numerous prototypes that didn’t make it passed her quality control!  I’ve been using my Bjorn Hall stethoscope for about 6 months now and I love it! I compared this to my Littmann and really didn’t see any difference in the aucoustics. What I did find was the length was longer so I didn’t have to bend down as far to listen to lungs/bowels/heart sounds. I found that its lighter around my neck, sometimes I don’t even know its there! The ear pieces are so comfortable and when you purchase a stethoscope from Jenny it comes with different size ear pieces so you can tailor it to your own ears!  Jenny is a nurse from Australia and she mentioned that Nurses have a uniform that the hospitals provide them! Unlike in American where we can where different colours, styles brands ect. In Australia your stuck with what your given! A stethoscope is their way of showing individuality!  Shop and support Nurse Jenny! Tell your friends to buy one! Buy one for nursing student!

Episode Nine: Jorge @air_murse

If you listened to last weeks episode then you met CJ. If not CJ is a 3rd generation male psych nurse! The second part of this episode CJ discusses the research and the amazing results that has come with the use of psilocybin mushrooms in clinical studies to treat PTSD! I am really excited to see this grow in the next few years and I think this will really benefit our psych population. I have recently had a patient in the ER that the provider recommended the use of “magic mushrooms” to help with her 20 year long addiction to crack cocaine. There is medical treatment for the withdrawal of alcohol and opiates, but there is no treatment for crack/cocaine.
