New grads, LISTEN👂🏾some hospitals test you on-site. If you fail that clinical competency test, your travel contract is terminated immediately. 🩺

Just FYI, these are not always the simplest tests.

Do you think you have enough clinical competence to pass ANY test with 1️⃣ year of experience???

Let me tell you what these “nurse influencers” won’t tell you about the dark side of travel nursing.

Should I go LIVE to talk about the UGLY side of travel nursing?

“Nurse influencers” are telling new grads that they only need 1 year of experience to jump into travel nursing, BUT I don’t see anyone talking about the dark side of travel nursing.

As a nurse of 2️⃣0️⃣ years and half of that as a travel nurse, I can tell you what they won’t tell you‼️Should I do it?

You’ve put in the work to earn that degree, but here’s the truth: landing your first job is more competitive than ever.

📊 Every year, 170,000+ new nurses graduate, but only a fraction make it into structured new grad residency programs. That means thousands of talented new nurses are left without the mentorship, support, and training they deserve.

This month, we’re breaking it ALL down:
✅ What they don’t teach you in nursing school about the new grad interview process
✅ Do’s & Don’ts for residency interviews
✅ Insider tips to help you become the chosen one

🗣️ Don’t just hope for a spot — be ready to stand out.

Meet Robin — the little robot doing big emotional work in hospitals. 🤖💙

Robin the Robot was invented in Armenia (Expper Technologies) and landed on the scene in 2021 and even made TIME’s Best Inventions list.

Now it’s not just a concept: Robin is in about 30 U.S. healthcare sites (pilots at places like UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital) — working with kids, residents with dementia, and nurses who need a few extra hands for emotional care.

This is real tech in real healthcare facilities. That doesn’t mean we hand over bedside ❤️ work or does it? Many say it means we decide how and for whom these tools get used.

Will Robin free you to do more skilled nursing, or will it start outsourcing the human things that keep care human?

Read this before you scroll-it might save a life🖤

Sometimes the loudest cry for help is the one you can’t hear.

Here’s how to support someone who may be struggling ⬇️

✅ Listen without judgment — silence can heal.
✅ Check in often — even a simple “thinking of you” can remind them they matter.
✅ Offer resources — share 988, therapy links, or support groups.
✅ Stay present — don’t underestimate the power of just being there.

You never know — your call, your text, your presence could be the lifeline someone is holding on for.

📞 If you or someone you know needs help, dial 988 — available 24/7.

Let’s break the stigma. Let’s save lives. 🖤

These legends changed the course of history — but how well do you really know their names? 🖤

Healthcare workers are losing jobs and risking their licenses just for likes. 📱💔

A group was placed on administrative leave after posting a video at work that mocked patients who left bodily fluids on exam tables.

This isn’t “just a joke” or “harmless content.” Every post has consequences. When patient privacy and professionalism are compromised, so is your livelihood.

➡️ Protect your license. Protect your paycheck. Protect your legacy. Don’t throw it all away for social media clout.
