Thank you ladies for continuing to show up not only for yourselves but for each other! How can you expand your network in your day to day life? Constantly look for opportunities for advancement, and find at least 3 people at every place you work to get their contact information. Whether you use it later or not… you never know who you’ll need until you need them! Being kind goes a long way. You don’t have to be “fake”, but it’s definitely time to expand that LinkedIn, and a letter of recommendation may help for your next position! Start making the connections now for where you plan to go in the future! 💪🏾❤️ You will be somewhere getting a certificate in something that someone else “networked” their way to with 0 expense, and half the effort.

Gratitude isn’t passive — it’s a practice. Each week, explore how you can channel gratitude into: - Self-care & rest - Professional growth - Connection & mentorship - Community service & support “When we give thanks, we make space for abundance to enter.” Let’s enter November with hearts open, spirits aligned, and a commitment to strengthening our nurse community, together!! 💪🏾 What has everyone been working on? I think we were all a little quiet this month? I’ve been building an online course all October long called The Empowered Nurse Blueprint that I’m excited to be launching! My prayer is that it helps nurses everywhere to build their confidence as leaders and communicators so that they can enter ANY role and not only succeed, but be respected, and influence positive change to the people around them as well. ☺️ I hope to see you all at Friendsgiving 2025! Our FIRST Friendsgiving event will be Nov. 16th from 3-7pm. Ya’ll be sure to come on by for a great time, positive energy, and of course the FOOD! We ordered full on thanksgiving dinner for everybody and I can’t wait to experience the spirit of gratitude with my fellow nurses! Happy 1st of the month!! 🤩

The cold weather is setting in and I’m already over it!! How do you deal with change of seasons when all you want to do is stay home? (I don’t handle it well, and fight against calling in almost daily🤷🏾‍♀️)

Tbh, this has been the longest week!! Today I took a nice walk without music or scrolling on my phone. Just a short walk to clear my head and take a break from tasks, schedules etc. it was nice to take in the moments instead of zoning out! Here’s to a getting over the hump with a Happy Wednesday!
