Today is the day!! We have Nurse Blake on the pod to talk about his PTO Comedy Tour, NurseCon at Sea, his new children’s book, the IMPACT in Healthcare safe staffing petition, and more!! The most recognizable face in the nursing video game, Blake juggles so much and does it with an infectious attitude. He shares how his book came to fruition, and how his impressive career got started. We also get a WoMed exclusive on the Becky thing...He then opens up about feelings of imposter syndrome, what to expect at NurseCon, and how he got involved with IMPACT in Healthcare to take on the safe staffing petition, which he feels is a critical issue in healthcare that needs to change. We hope you find today’s episode as inspiring and uplifting as we did. Thank you SO much to Blake for taking the time to chat with us today!
