Scrubs Off

In this episode, Ava, Zach, and Kaite open up about the realities of life as new grad nurses. We dive into the mental health challenges that come with transitioning from school to practice, the stress of applying for jobs, and the excitement (and nerves) of starting our first roles. We also share our experiences preparing for and taking the NCLEX — what helped, what didn’t, and how it felt to finally get through it. Whether you’re a nursing student, new grad, or just curious about the journey, this conversation is honest, supportive, and full of relatable moments.

Ava and Kaite talk with Zach about common nursing school questions and what to expect during your nursing school journey.
