YOUR NURSING CAREER DOESN'T HAVE TO FOLLOW A STRAIGHT LINE

Course overview

WHAT IF YOUR NURSING CAREER DIDN'T HAVE TO FOLLOW THE TRADITIONAL BEDSIDE PATH TO BE MEANINGFUL OR IMPACTFUL? IN THIS EPISODE, HOST MACKENZIE BUTLER SITS DOWN WITH DONNA CARDILLO, A NURSE WHOSE CAREER JOURNEY DEFIES CONVENTION. FROM PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS TO HEALTHCARE REIMBURSEMENT, EDUCATION, WRITING, AND CAREER COACHING, DONNA SHARES HOW SAYING YES TO UNEXPECTED OPPORTUNITIES RESHAPED HER PROFESSIONAL LIFE AND HELPED COUNTLESS NURSES DO THE SAME. TOGETHER, THEY EXPLORE WHY SO MANY NURSES UNDERVALUE THEIR TRANSFERABLE SKILLS, HOW IMPOSTER SYNDROME SHOWS UP EVEN IN SUCCESSFUL CAREERS, AND WHY NURSING IS AN IDENTITY, NOT A JOB TITLE OR SETTING. DONNA OFFERS PRACTICAL ADVICE ON NETWORKING, LINKEDIN, RESUMES, AND CONFIDENCE-BUILDING ALONG WITH A POWERFUL REMINDER THAT NURSES CAN CREATE IMPACT FAR BEYOND THE PATIENTS THEY'LL EVER MEET FACE TO FACE. IF YOU'VE EVER WONDERED WHAT ELSE YOU CAN DO WITH A NURSING DEGREE OR FELT STUCK WAITING FOR PERMISSION TO TRY SOMETHING NEW THIS CONVERSATION IS FOR YOU.
