Behind The Scrubs: The Travel Nurse Experience

Amber Pagano

This week, join your host Justin Alison, as he talks about life, dreams, and legacy in this career respective with the exceptional and down-right inspirational Monique Jolicia.

It’s been a long-time coming, but we trust that this episode was without-a-doubt worth the wait. We’ll learn how Monique’s mother invested in her future through a little motivational trickery; how chance had a last minute intervention landing her in her current nursing guise; and we’ll come to see her wisdom in taking a backseat role and laying the foundations, and how it’s equally as important, if not more so than those in pursuit of recognition. Monique truly shines in these forty-odd minutes, and we can’t wait for you all to get to know her a little better and take some of her personal outlooks into your own lives.

Chad truly shines as an example of what we should hope for in our leaders, and we’re certain you’ll pull out a few nuggets of wisdom in this week’s episode.

We are so stoked to follow Savannah’s incredible journey, first as a nurse direct from high-school; how she went back to schooling in order to get ahead on the corporate ladder; and then with the arrival of her second child, how she educated herself to create the beginnings of a real estate empire and find for herself and family financial freedom. We can’t help but be inspired by Savannah’s drive and dedication, and we are sure that if you dig into this week’s episode, she’ll inspire you, too.
