Episode # 32

Nursing is such a fascinating career. No matter how many nurses I get to talk with, I always learn something new and interesting. Todays episode is no different. Meet todays guest, Alexa Davidson, MSN, RN and learn from her experiences and expertise in the realm of Pediatric Cardiac ICU. She demonstrates perfectly how nursing can literally take you from coast to coast as she became a travel nurse in the U.S.  Alexa shares what a shift is really like working in the PICU, the perks of travel nursing, and which qualities set you up for success in these roles. It is no surprise that being in a high stress role such as PICU leads many nurses to burn out. Alexa shares her own personal story with this and how she decided to handle the situation and what she is up to now. You do not want to miss the fantastic stories from Alexa's career that will have you laughing, and remind you how awesome nursing truly is. Take a listen and enjoy!
