🎙 Why Nurses Are Ditching the System & Choosing Freedom Instead

Welcome back to The Nurses Investing for Wealth Mini Series Podcast! In Episode 8, we’re not sugarcoating it—nurses are in crisis, and hospital systems are still trying to mop the floor while the water main is bursting.

This episode pulls back the curtain on why nurses are leaving, how systemic mismanagement is costing everyone more, and what smart nurses are doing to protect themselves financially and emotionally. If you’re exhausted, underpaid, and ready for a way out—this one’s for you.

You’ll hear what I personally did to escape burnout, create financial freedom, and keep my license without feeling trapped by it.

💥 This is the episode that flips the script on toxic work environments.
