As nurses, our professional digital footprint matters more than ever. From social media posts and comments to LinkedIn profiles, blog features, and even what shows up when your name is Googled—your online presence tells a story about you before you ever walk into an interview, apply for a role, or pitch yourself as an expert. ✨ Let’s talk about it: • Are your social media accounts private, professional, or a mix of both? • Does your online presence reflect the nurse you are today or the one you were years ago? • Have you ever Googled yourself to see what comes up? • Do you think nurses should intentionally build a personal brand online—or stay invisible? There’s no “right” answer, but awareness is power. Your digital footprint can either open doors or quietly close them. Drop your thoughts below ⬇️ Let’s keep it honest, respectful, and judgment-free.

✨ Welcome to all of our NEW members! ✨ I’m so excited to have you here inside The Nurses Lounge 🎉♥️ The last 6 weeks have been a beautiful kind of busy. Since January 5th, we’ve: - Set sail on a group cruise to Mexico 🌊 - Landed three news interviews - Celebrated my daughter’s 9th birthday and my son’s 14th birthday 🎂 - Coordinated safe transportation for 250+ nurses and healthcare workers during the snow ❄️ - Participated in Nurses Day at the Capitol 🏛️ - And today, I’m hosting our 2nd Annual Galentine’s Event — a Cake + Cocktails decorating class at Sugar Joint Bakery 🍰🍸 Whew! 😅 After this week, we’ll be getting back to our regularly scheduled programming and events ♥️ Thank you all so much for the support, encouragement, and community you continue to show — it truly means more than you know. 👇 Now I want to hear from YOU: What is one thing you want to accomplish in your nursing career this year? Whether it’s: - Changing specialties - Going back to school - Starting (or growing) a business - Or simply finding more balance and fulfillment No goal is too big or too small. Be honest. Be transparent. Say it out loud — and watch how momentum begins to build 🙌✨

I’m Cora, an LPN with about four years of nursing experience. I recently got married on 1/11/2025, and I’m continuing to grow both personally and professionally. I have a strong interest in psychiatric nursing and enjoy working with patients through compassion, communication, and understanding. Nursing has taught me resilience, patience, and the importance of mental health advocacy. I’m always open to learning, connecting, and supporting fellow nurses along the journey. 💗

Really looking forward to Nursepreneur 101!!!
