In this episode of the Life After Nursing School podcast, host Caroline Danna sits down with Stephanee Beggs, the nurse, educator, and entrepreneur behind RNExplained and author of the bestselling book Debrief.
After reading Debrief cover to cover, Caroline knew she had to connect with Stephanee to dive deeper into the real, unfiltered side of nursing — the part that goes beyond exams and clinicals. Together they unpack the emotional highs and lows of life as a new nurse, the challenges of balancing bedside nursing with business, and how to navigate burnout, boundaries, and purpose in your nursing career.
Stephanee shares her creative process behind writing Debrief, the meaning of her 555 tattoo, and how she stays grounded while building a multimillion-view platform that helps thousands of nursing students study smarter and feel less alone.
If you’re a nursing student, new grad nurse, or nurse entrepreneur seeking inspiration and clarity about your path, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, understood, and ready to “debrief” your own journey.
