Club Nurse
Welcome to Club Nurse, babes — the podcast where nursing meets real talk, big feelings, and zero fluff. I’m your host, Colton Lord (yes, from @nursedaddies), and we’re getting into everything from nurse life and burnout to identity, ambition, and healing — with honesty, humor, and a whole lot of heart. PERIOD.
This is your space to feel seen, spill tea, and connect with the community you didn’t know you needed. Expect nurse news, guest convos, unfiltered stories, and inspo to slay both in and out of scrubs. Because this profession is wild — but you don’t have to go through it alone. Let’s laugh, vent, grow, and absolutely slay together. 💅🩺

How to Work in the U.S. as a Foreign-Educated Nurse (With Nelson Hurtado)
Colton sits down with Nelson Hurtado, founder + CEO of ANP Health, a powerhouse startup helping foreign-educated nurses navigate credentialing, NCLEX prep, immigration, and job placement with 150+ hospitals across the U.S.
Nelson breaks down how ANP is changing the game:
- 🚀 Guiding nurses through credentialing, English exams, and NCLEX prep (including their bilingual app, LearNCLEX 📱✨)
- 🏥 Connecting qualified international nurses to hospitals battling staffing shortages
- 🤝 Offering an ethical recruitment model that benefits both nurses and healthcare systems
- 📈 Helping hospitals plan long-term instead of scrambling for last-minute travel nurses
- 🌍 Bringing in nurses who offer unmatched grit, gratitude, and retention
If you want to understand how international nurses are strengthening U.S. hospitals — and how ANP is making that pathway way more accessible — this episode is your sign to tune in.
