The NCLEX Doesn't Define You

Hello Nurses Happy Hour Listeners! We are introducing something that's been in the works for a little while now called A Day in the Life Series. In this series, we plan to highlight different avenues in nursing and gain perspective on what it's really like in each field. We are hoping to learn some things ourselves but most importantly equip you all to find enjoyment in your career and pursue something you're genuinely passionate about! We are starting with one of our nursing school friends who pursued a career in Mental Health and Addictions and is currently working on an inpatient psychiatry unit. Listen in as we chat about the highs and lows of this field, and why he's passionate about it!

Did someone say Episode 4?? This week on Nurses Happy Hour we thought we would dive into a heavy topic surrounding COVID-19.
