Episode 18: Getting to know you...better! The fact and fiction of how host Tristan became a nurse

Published: April 26, 2021, 10 p.m.

This week has a different format as I decided to do a solo show to share my own nursing story in more detail. So, if you have been curious as to who exactly your host is, tune in to learn all about how I found my way into nursing!

Show Notes:

  • Learn what my dream job is. Hint: it was not nursing!
  • Sometimes fiction can have a powerful impact on us. Was it fact or fiction that drew me towards a career in nursing?
  • I earned my BSN from Utah Valley University but that is not where I started. 
  • Clinicals showed me my strengths and weaknesses in nursing and changed the career path I thought I was going to take.
  • Why I have not worked for the past 6 years. (I do keep my license active though through Netce)
  • Learn how I got into podcasting and which resources I used to learn how to make it happen.
  • I have come to learn that life offers opportunities that push outside of our comfort zone, or field of knowledge. There are times when those opportunities are worth chasing as they help us develop new skills, gain new knowledge, and grow in unexpected but wonderful ways. More importantly, ANYONE can do this!
