💡 Is traditional nursing dying? And if so, what does that mean for your career?

The healthcare system is broken. Burnout is at an all-time high, new grads are leaving within months, and experienced nurses are retiring in droves. Yet, the system still expects nurses to do more with less—while ignoring the reality of rising costs, declining job satisfaction, and the outdated industrial-age career model we were all sold.

But here’s the truth: Nurses don’t have to stay stuck in a system that’s no longer serving them.

In this episode, I break down why traditional nursing is dying a slow and painful death and how a hybrid nursing career—where you blend bedside with business—could be the future of nursing careers.

🚀 In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔️ [02:10] Why the traditional nursing career model is broken (and why it’s not your fault)

✔️ [08:45] How new grads and experienced nurses are leaving—and what’s really driving them out

✔️ [15:20] Why a hybrid nursing career is the solution to burnout, low pay, and lack of flexibility

✔️ [23:40] The digital era shift: How nurses can leverage online business, coaching, and content creation

✔️ [30:55] How to start designing your own profitable, flexible nurse-led business today

💡 If you’ve ever felt stuck, underpaid, or undervalued in nursing, this episode will show you a way forward.
