In today's episode, I sit down with a Registered Nurse, Lucetta Marrah, who has been working as a nurse in Canada for almost 12 years. She started her journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse or LPN and decided to challenge herself by advancing her education to become an RN. She gave up a fulltime, high earning job to return to school. Lucetta shares the study strategies that she used to ace the RN board exam at the first trial. She addresses what people who have failed the board exam can do as well as tips for men seeking to pursue a career in nursing but concerned about stereotypes or the nature of the work.

Also discussed in this episode are the realities of being a nurse in the middle of the pandemic, the everyday challenges, including caring for persons with COVID-19. This episode is loaded with many life lessons and tips to kickstart that ambition, dream or vision that you have been waiting or longing to begin.
