Have you ever thought your life was on one track and then it suddenly take a left turn? Meet Anna Tate, RN, BSN who thought she’d use her education in resource-poor nursing overseas after graduation. Little did she know at the time, her expertise was needed in her own backyard.

Anna takes us through her nursing journey and how she came to work as both an inpatient and outpatient RN case manager. Learn from the pro: what a typical shift looks like, her favorite parts of the job, the parts she could live without, and how different great jobs can be stepping stones to your dream job.
