Real Talk School of Nursing

AUGUST 17, 2021 SEASON 6 EPISODE 4  #99

Sasha Subrosa

When we get the inside scoop on things that people wished they knew when they were in our shoes, we take that and run with it. Were able to learn from others' mistakes to avoid having to go through the same struggles. 

In today’s episode, we get ideas on how to cut costs and some pros of being a non traditional student.

There are so many times where we feel a certain way and believe that we’re alone. Something in us decides not to talk about it for our own reasons. But, being able to talk about the feelings you have can lead to change and a path to overcoming. 

In today’s episode, Sasha talks about the overwhelming thoughts when deciding to take the leap into the nursing game. The topic of a common syndrome amongst many new grads comes into play as Sasha explains her own experience with it. She also breaks down what to expect when you're expecting, clinicals edition. 

Stick around to see what new perspectives come into play as Sasha builds her own path to becoming a nurse and the people she meets along the way.

Becoming a nurse is our goal, that’s why we're all here! Have you thought about what obstacles you will face along the way? 

In today’s episode, we will get into asking ourselves, “Am I okay with this?”. We will dip our toes into non traditional nursing careers, shadowing, and what to do to stand out to potential employers in a sea of new grads. 

It is a sad day in that we say our goodbyes to our good and faithful host, Michael Smith. He has helped carry so many through their nursing endeavors and was appreciated by all for being truthful, honest, and real about nursing school and all that surrounds it. His humor helped many pull through as they were getting worn down by the stress of school.

As he moves on to take on bigger and better projects, he shines a light on our new host, Sasha Subrosa. 

In today’s episode, we will hear Michael’s final farewell as Sasha introduces herself.

Stick around to see what new perspectives come into play as Sasha builds her own path to becoming a nurse and the people she meets along the way.
