Episode Description
I am deeply saddened by what's happening to my fellow healthcare professionals across the country. I love being a nurse and I believe that we are naturally gifted with the able to care for others. Since the COVID- 19 Pandemic spread to the United States nurses who are working on the Frontlines have been faced with unprecedented challenges. These challenges includes shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Inadequate COVID-19 testing capabilities and novel legal, employment and licensure concerns. In this episode you will meet AJ Rothstein a Registered Nurse who is working as a bedside nurse in a hospital in New York City. AJ will talk about his personal experiences while working on the frontline and discuss the process of grieving that healthcare professional and families may be experiencing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Wealthy Nurse Hour
Archives Available on VoiceAmerica Business Channel
Throughout my career I have noticed that nurses, nurse aides and caregivers are overworked, underpaid and lack the flexibility and freedom to have a satisfying work life balance. As a result, a large number of nurses are leaving traditional nursing and becoming entrepreneurs.
I decided to create the show "The Wealthy Nurse Hour" to establish a platform for nurse entrepreneurs to showcase their business. These Nurse leaders will discuss their journey as entrepreneurs and how they achieved their current success. There are a variety of specialty areas to enter as a nurse entrepreneur. Our guests will give aspiring nurses insight on ways to transition from the bedside to business.
I believe that wealth is a mindset. If an individual can make up their mind to change an unfavorable situation, then they have the ability to live a wealthy life. The possession, or the manifestation, of wealth starts with the way a person thinks.
