Send us a text Amanda Shatwell shares her journey from EMT to Emergency Room nurse to LPN Program Coordinator at Southern Tech, exploring how nursing education has evolved to meet today's student needs through hybrid learning models. Her perspective challenges the notion that all nurses must be naturally nurturing, highlighting how different personality types can thrive in various nursing specialties while offering practical advice for avoiding burnout. • Southern Tech's LPN program achieves remarkable 95-100% pass rates through innovative hybrid learning approaches • Flexibility with accountability helps working parents succeed in nursing education • Emergency Room experience provides valuable perspective that makes other nursing specialties seem less stressful • Nursing offers job security, career advancement, and financial stability regardless of economic conditions • Not all nurses are natural nurturers - logical thinkers often excel in emergency settings • Combating nurse burnout requires strong support systems and willingness to explore different specialties • Modern nursing education now includes specific training on interpersonal communication and civility • Starting in high-pressure environments like ER or ICU can be ideal for new graduates For information about Southern Tech's LPN program, visit SOTECedu or search for "LPN program Southern Tech" to access their information packet and contact details.

Send us a text The countdown to healthcare's "Silver Tsunami" has begun. By 2030, every American baby boomer will be over 65, creating an unprecedented 70-80 million retiree population that will transform our healthcare system. What happens when this massive demographic meets a healthcare workforce that doesn't reflect the diversity of those it serves? Dr. Uchi, one of the less than 1% of occupational therapists who are Black men, takes us deep into this looming crisis. Occupational therapy—that crucial but often misunderstood profession helping people regain independence after illness or injury—stands at a crossroads. Will it rise to meet historically high demand, or shrink from the challenge? The conversation reveals how shockingly little has changed in healthcare diversity. Despite occupational therapy's founding in 1917, the first Black OT wasn't admitted to school until the 1970s. Today, only 5% of OTs are Black—the same percentage as in 2010. This representation gap isn't just a staffing issue; it directly impacts patient outcomes when people can't see themselves reflected in their care providers. Through personal stories, we explore how cultural connections between patients and providers break down barriers to rehabilitation. One speech therapist shares a powerful moment helping an aphasic stroke patient communicate through gospel songs—demonstrating how understanding cultural context transforms care. Dr. Uchi explains how he's using social media to make OT more accessible and appealing to younger generations and communities of color. By meeting people "in their arena" and expanding OT beyond traditional applications into areas like masculinity and mental health, he's reimagining what the profession can be. Whether you're considering a healthcare career, concerned about the future of eldercare, or interested in healthcare equity, this conversation offers crucial insights into challenges and opportunities that will shape healthcare for decades to come.

Send us a text Speech pathologists aren't just the people who help kids say their R's correctly—they're essential healthcare professionals with an astonishingly broad scope of practice that remains largely invisible to the public and even fellow medical providers. Our guest, who transitioned from a decades-long opera career to speech language pathology, pulls back the curtain on this misunderstood profession. The conversation reveals a troubling reality: speech language pathology is 92% white and 97% female, creating significant blind spots in how communication disorders are assessed and treated. For years, speakers of non-standard American English dialects have been incorrectly flagged as having language delays, pulling children unnecessarily from regular classrooms. While standardized tests now account for dialect differences, the field desperately needs diverse practitioners who reflect the communities they serve. Most people don't realize that speech pathologists work with stroke survivors, people with progressive neurological diseases like Parkinson's and ALS, patients with swallowing disorders, head and neck cancer survivors, and even provide gender-affirming voice therapy. This allied health profession faces crushing waitlists and staffing shortages, particularly in settings like VA healthcare where a single SLP might serve multiple facilities across different cities. The conversation makes a compelling case that proper staffing of allied health professionals ultimately saves money by preventing costly complications like recurrent pneumonia, falls, and hospital readmissions—if only healthcare administrators would recognize the false economy of their cost-cutting measures. Whether you work in healthcare or simply want to understand the professionals who might one day help you or a loved one recover from a medical event, this eye-opening discussion will transform your understanding of speech pathology and allied health.

Send us a text What happens when military discipline meets civilian healthcare chaos? Kevin Gibson, known as "The Boot Nurse," brings unique insight to this collision of worlds from his 16.5 years of naval service and subsequent career as a registered nurse and NCLEX coach. Kevin's journey through nursing wasn't smooth – he candidly shares his experience failing the NCLEX exam three times before succeeding on his fourth attempt. This vulnerability forms the cornerstone of his coaching philosophy today. "What person do you know actively tells you they were unsuccessful?" he asks, pointing out that while nursing exam pass rates hover around 91%, someone needs to help the other 9% who struggle. His coaching program boasts remarkable success, with only seven unsuccessful students out of 125 coached over five years. The stark contrast between military healthcare structure and civilian nursing culture emerges as Kevin details his difficult three-year transition after leaving active duty. In military settings, leadership typically comes from individuals with medical backgrounds who understand frontline challenges. Civilian healthcare often suffers from administrators with no clinical experience making decisions affecting patient care. This disconnect, combined with toxic workplace behaviors like "nurses eating their young," contributes to the burnout crisis plaguing the profession. Kevin's military background gave him the confidence to address this toxicity directly: "I said from day one that it will not happen around me." Kevin's published book "Conquer It: The Journey to Passing the NCLEX," 7-day course, and personalized coaching program offer struggling nursing students a relatable mentor who understands their challenges. His approach combines technical knowledge with genuine compassion, demonstrating how vulnerability creates the connection many students need to overcome obstacles. Connect with Kevin at thebootnurse.com or on social media platforms as "The Boot Nurse" to discover how military discipline and nursing expertise can transform your healthcare journey.

Send us a text Have you ever wondered what life is like for CNAs beyond the nursing home? In this eye-opening conversation, Elena Torres shares her remarkable journey from working as a CNA for 13 years across multiple healthcare settings to building her own thriving health insurance brokerage. Elena's candid storytelling takes us through her experiences in long-term care, trauma ICUs, endocrine surgery, and the notorious "wild west" of med-surg floors. She doesn't hold back when describing the stark realities of healthcare—from reporting a negligent nursing home to state authorities after finding untreated stage four pressure ulcers, to witnessing the dramatic difference between units where nurses collaborate versus those where CNAs are left to struggle alone while nurses scroll through Instagram. What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Elena's unique perspective on how clinical experience translates to entrepreneurial success. Now licensed in 27 states as a health insurance broker, she explains how her years at bedside give her an edge in understanding clients' medical conditions and anticipating their insurance needs. When a client mentions casually that their mitral valve prolapse "went away," her clinical background alerts her to the potential seriousness of their condition and helps her guide them toward appropriate coverage. The transition from healthcare worker to business owner wasn't without challenges. Elena speaks honestly about the mental health struggles of commission-based work and the importance of resilience, support systems, and knowing your "why." Her advice for anyone considering a similar path is refreshingly practical: "Don't stop, just keep going, just keep swimming." Whether you're a healthcare worker considering career options, someone interested in health insurance, or simply curious about what happens behind the scenes in our healthcare system, this conversation offers valuable insights from someone who's navigated both worlds successfully.

Send us a text Ever wondered how some nurses break free from the burnout cycle and build real wealth? In this eye-opening conversation with Larissa (NightNurse305TV), we dive deep into the strategic mindset shift that transforms ordinary nursing careers into launchpads for financial independence. "I'm not a nun, I'm a nurse and I'm a hustler," declares Larissa, challenging the traditional view of nursing as purely a service profession. With 13+ years of experience across multiple specialties and a successful pivot into real estate and entrepreneurship, Larissa reveals her unconventional approach to leveraging hospital experience. Rather than seeing bedside nursing as just a job, she reframes it as a strategic six-month reconnaissance mission to build valuable connections, identify market opportunities, and acquire free professional development. The hospital hallways are filled with "walking millionaires" – doctors, administrators, medical device representatives, and veteran nurses whose networks and knowledge can fuel your next venture. By approaching your clinical role with entrepreneurial curiosity, you position yourself to identify healthcare gaps that could become profitable business opportunities. Whether it's assisted living facilities, referral agencies, or specialized care services, Larissa breaks down how to translate bedside experience into business models that solve real healthcare problems. Beyond business strategies, we explore the importance of financial literacy, AI competency, and maintaining professional standards while advocating for substantive issues like nurse-to-patient ratios and standardized education. This conversation isn't just about making more money – it's about reimagining what's possible when nurses bring their clinical expertise into entrepreneurial spaces. Ready to stop trading time for dollars and build sustainable wealth? Follow Larissa on TikTok @NightNurse305TV and join the growing movement of nurses who refuse to be broke.

Send us a text Dosage calculations – the words alone can send shivers down nursing students' spines. But what if there was a way to transform this dreaded subject into something approachable, even enjoyable? Enter ABlessed RN, a veteran nurse with 15 years of experience who's revolutionizing how nursing students approach medication math with her groundbreaking "Puzzle Piece Method." Drawing from her diverse nursing background spanning long-term care, school nursing, medical-surgical units, and specialized hospital departments, ABlessed RN shares why Med-Surg became her "heart" despite common misconceptions that it's less complex than critical care. Her perspective reveals the intricate knowledge required to care for fragile patients whose conditions can deteriorate rapidly, highlighting the crucial role Med-Surg nurses play in healthcare. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when ABlessed RN explains her journey from math-savvy pharmacy technician to nursing educator. Witnessing countless students struggle with dosage calculations led her to develop an ingenious approach that strips away the intimidation factor. Rather than overwhelming students with complex formulas, her Puzzle Piece Method transforms calculations into visual puzzles where each element represents a piece fitting perfectly into the solution. The urgency of mastering dosage calculations becomes clear as ABlessed RN emphasizes their life-or-death importance beyond nursing school. "You are the last source of safety," she reminds listeners, describing scenarios where electronic systems fail and nurses must rely on their mathematical skills. This passionate defense of calculation proficiency serves as a wake-up call in an era where many professionals increasingly rely on technology rather than fundamental knowledge. Blessed RN's pink, spiral-bound workbook – featuring over 300 practice problems and step-by-step guidance – represents her commitment to making dosage calculations accessible to everyone. But beyond the educational content, listeners glimpse the heart behind her work: a ministry-minded approach where she prays for students and celebrates their transformations from math-phobic learners to confident professionals. Ready to defeat dosage calculations once and for all?

Send us a text The traditional nursing path isn't the only way forward. Just ask Kieara, a Montreal-based aesthetic nurse whose journey proves that following your passion can lead to a fulfilling career on your own terms. Growing up with an esthetician mother, Kieara always had an eye for beauty work, but followed her father's advice to pursue nursing first. Now, she's found the perfect blend of both worlds as a cosmetic injector with six years of nursing experience under her belt. Her story challenges the outdated notion that new graduates must "do their time" in medical-surgical units before specializing. "If a new grad can work in the ER, why can't they work in aesthetics?" Kieara asks, making a compelling point that the stakes in aesthetic nursing may actually be lower than in critical care settings. For nurses looking to break into aesthetics, she recommends certification courses to demonstrate commitment, while noting affordable online options starting around $50-60. Our conversation spans borders, comparing nursing education between Canada and the US. Unlike America's three-tier system (LPN, ADN, BSN), Canada primarily offers LPN and BSN paths. We outline the process for American nurses hoping to practice in Canada, including credential verification through NNAS and obtaining TN visas for cross-border work. Travel nursing takes center stage as Kieara shares her experiences working across Canadian provinces. Unlike some alarming stories from US travel nurses, she describes positive agency interactions, standardized pay rates, and excellent accommodations. We also touch on cultural differences, with Kiara noting how Montreal's multicultural environment has shaped her relatively positive experiences as a Black nurse compared to challenges faced by nurses of color in America's South. Whether you're considering aesthetics, travel nursing, or international opportunities, this episode reinforces one powerful message: nurses should follow their interests rather than prescribed paths. As both Kieara and I emphasize throughout our conversation, "Go where you want to go." Support the show https://linktr.ee/WakandaRN…
Send us a text Healthcare is facing a crisis that few are talking about. The proposed reduction in federal funding for EMTs through Bill 1067 threatens to drastically decrease emergency medical services across America, particularly in rural areas. EMTs already earn shockingly low wages despite their life-saving responsibilities—in some regions making less than fast-food workers. Without proper funding, entire counties could lose emergency services, forcing patients to wait for help from neighboring areas when every second counts. But funding is just one piece of a complex healthcare puzzle. The disconnect between medical specialties has created dangerous gaps in patient care. Some EMTs discourage nursing home transfers despite orders from physicians who know their patients' complex needs. Meanwhile, a disturbing case of a nurse reusing needleless syringes for 18 months has compromised patient safety and trust. These incidents highlight a critical need for better communication, respect, and adherence to safety protocols across all healthcare disciplines. The healthcare conversation doesn't end there. For medical professionals spending long shifts on their feet, proper footwear is essential for preventing fatigue and injury. Brands like Clove, Asics, Nike, and Hoka top the list of recommended nursing shoes for 2025, based on criteria including comfort, support, and durability. These practical recommendations acknowledge the physical demands placed on healthcare workers who sacrifice their comfort to care for others. Want to make a difference? Contact your local EMT station to learn how you can support emergency services through advocacy or donations. Follow Wakanda RN for more honest conversations about healthcare's most pressing challenges and practical solutions for both providers and patients. Support the show https://linktr.ee/WakandaRN…
