Welcome to episode #6 of season 2 of the Vintage Traveling Nurse Podcast! ⁣ ⁣ 

With the recent corona-virus outbreak and the limited ability to travel in combination with our recent family loss--  I decided that it would be wise to push the pause button on traveling for a while. Although, my recruiters reassured me- even if a national shutdown occurred with domestic travel- healthcare workers will still likely travel. 

Travel nursing assignments are still open for the hot-spots or areas where the virus is very much prevalent. And honestly as the need increases for healthcare workers, I don’t believe that it would be feasible to avoid traveling altogether. But in doing my own due diligence to minimize travel, it just didn’t make sense to go across the country right in this season in my life. 

So what exactly does this mean?⁣ ⁣ It means that while I was traveling I took each assignment one day at a time, so I will also manage this season in my life one day at a time as well. So today I am going to cover life as a travel nurse when you’re no longer traveling. What are some things that you can do in between assignments to ensure that you are maintaining so when you are ready to go back- you are set to go without skipping a beat.

Welcome to episode 4 of season 2 and another segment of Vintage Talks with my second guest ever for the podcast! ⁣ ⁣ 

Our guest, Thamara Jean is currently a registered nurse on a cardiac step down unit and provided a lot of insight into her experiences. I appreciated her transparency so much as we talked about managing a work-life balance as a registered nurse. We breakdown the practical side of nursing and navigating life outside of work.  Or what to do once you complete your intense schooling required for your respective career, and then possibly experiencing a feeling of regret for choosing that career.  How do you cope with that? Do you quit or do you move forward? We unpack all of this in today's episode.⁣ ⁣

So if travel nursing gives you the opportunity to travel all over the country and get paid while doing it, then why isn’t everyone doing it? Dealing with uncertainties and the constant state of change can be viewed as "cons" when it comes to travel nursing. So today we're talking about maintaining stability while traveling. ⁣ ⁣

Over the last several months, I’ve gotten a lot of questions about what are the steps you should take if you’re thinking about making the shift into travel nursing. Or where to even begin in the first place. ⁣ ⁣ This episode I want to dive in a little more on some key steps you want to take if you’re thinking about becoming a travel nurse. But more importantly, I want to talk about how working as a travel nurse can work as the perfect transition into life as an entrepreneur. Or at least thinking like one. ⁣ ⁣

Welcome to season 2! ⁣ ⁣ 

I grew up watching #8 Kobe begin his career at 17 years old.  I remember when he switched to #24. I watched as he dedicated 20 years of his life to become the "greatest of all time" amongst the other basketball players. Like many others- regardless of whether or not you play or follow basketball,  you may have found inspiration in how dedicated he was to his craft while maintaining his role as a family man. 

I begin the episode talking about how his journey affected mine. I am praying and will continue to pray for all of the families affected by the tragic accident on Sunday.⁣ ⁣ In our pursuit of excellence- the journey can get lonely. We famously here the quote- “it’s lonely at the top” implying the higher your level of achievement and success, the lonelier it is.  And though some of that can be true- there is a huge difference between loneliness and isolation.⁣ ⁣ No one ever makes it to the top completely alone. I don’t know of any greats that did it by themselves. There is very often a spouse/partner, family member, or friend that’s right there in your corner. Backing you up. Ensuring that you are pushing yourself to be the best version of yourself.  

So can you have it all? Join me in the conversation as I talk about maintaining your outside relationships while working on becoming your best self. And how I've been able to maintain relationships with people that are 3,000 miles away from me while I work as a travel nurse.⁣ ⁣

2019 has been my first FULL year on the road. Like I mentioned in prior episodes, I began traveling 14 months ago, October 2018. The last year has been incredibly rewarding and challenging. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As we remain in the spirit of the new year, I’m sharing some gems I’ve learned along the way. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Flexibility. Negotiating. Navigating love. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣
