Living Your Legacy · How an ER Nurse Built a Healthcare Legacy · 12 Jul 2026 podcast

I just wanted to be a nurse, work my 12-hour shifts, come home, make money, buy a bag, get another bag.

Because I had, with travel nursing,

With the amount of money that you make is almost and then you make it so fast.

It's almost like, you know, you just say, you know, I'm making this money and you would calculate, OK, I need to work this many shifts this week to get this.

And then you you buy what you want and then, you know, you pay your bills, but you still have money left over.

So it was rewarding being a tribal nurse.

And so I thought that that's what I was going to do until I became a nurse practitioner.

And my goal was to become a nurse practitioner and work in the ER as a nurse practitioner because I always wanted to be the provider, full circle be the provider, but just not be a doctor, right?

We are three for three.

And I was like, we're starting a home health agency.

He's like, what do we need?

I was like, money.

I was a spender.

Yes.
