This podcast will help you get the clarity you need to grow so you can have the flexibility and autonomy you want while leveraging your voice and expertise. I'm Bonnie Meadows a Board Certified Clinical Nurse Specialist, Influential Leader, Career Coach & Well-Being Coach. Since being in the nursing & healthcare profession since 2004, I have found myself ready to make the next step but felt stuck. I got to a place where I dreaded going to work. I felt burnt out and unmotivated. I knew deep down I always wanted something else. But I had no clue how to even with the hope of a graduate degree to advance me. I finally realized that growing in nursing is about the journey and not the destination. I finally stopped looking for a specific job to fill my cup. I developed a framework I frequently implemented to get the clarity I needed for my career and catapulted me into areas of nursing and healthcare I never imagined. I am sharing it all with you. If you are ready to find career strategies crafted as an experienced nurse using your gifts and abilities, A guide to help you get clear on your next career steps, Contentment and joy in your work-this podcast is for you!!So get ready to kick off those Crocs, pop in those earbuds, and let's chat!!
