Can you start us off by telling 66 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,300 my audience what it is that you do for a living? 67 00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:37,300 Exactly. And kind of how you see yourself 68 00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:40,100 as you're making a living in your nursing career. 69 00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:44,000 I am currently a Dermatology certified nurse practitioner. 70 00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:46,400 So I do work in a Dermatology Clinic. 71 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,800 I've been working in dermatology for seven years since I 72 00:03:49,808 --> 00:03:53,400 graduated as a nurse practitioner in this particular 73 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,500 Clinic that I've been up for almost three years. 74 00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:59,300 I also do work in research and the research is Dermatology 75 00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:02,100 Psychiatry fibromyalgia migraine. 76 00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:04,400 So we do a little bit of everything in the research side, 77 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,500 but my focus is definitely within the clinical. 78 00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:11,300 Dermatology side. The dnp is probably really 79 00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:13,100 helpful. As you're starting to kind of go 80 00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:15,100 into the research. Side of things. 81 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,100 I got such a bug in my spirit during my dnp about research 82 00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:23,500 that I hadn't had while getting my Master's Degree was very 83 00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:26,600 strange, like resource was kind of annoying and my masters. 84 00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:30,100 But I walked away from my doctor just being like, those words are 85 00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:32,400 kind of awesome at like, what they're doing. 86 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,100 What research are you involved in owners interests. 87 00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:37,600 So my current research is like it's clinical trials, like 88 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,700 actual clinical trials, but I find it interesting. 89 00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:42,800 What you're saying about when your masters of kind of the 90 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,000 difference between the Masters, And the dnp actually when I 91 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,500 applied for the master's program at the time, I think it was 92 00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:54,600 2013. They had changed the programs 93 00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:58,900 instead of being RN to MSN. It was RN to dnp. 94 00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:01,700 So I was like, well, I guess I have to go for DMV because I 95 00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:05,000 really wanted to go to UCF and that's all they had at the time. 96 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,600 Then in the middle of that I guess they realized maybe it was 97 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,800 a bad idea, so they switched it back to allowing people to 98 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,300 graduate with their masters and I was like, well, you know, Know 99 00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:17,300 what I've already started, you know, getting ahead on the dnp 100 00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:18,800 classes. So let me just continue this 101 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,700 path. And as I entered the actual dnp 102 00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:24,200 portion, it's just like you said, I was like, I was starting 103 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,800 to get the bug and they start actually showing you how to 104 00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:31,100 implement a practice Improvement project I was working in 105 00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:33,800 dermatology. I was actually able to implement 106 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,400 entire project in the practice and see it and collect data and 107 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,400 you sort of finish, like, whoa, I did that. 108 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,700 And you present your project and you get the dnp but it's not 109 00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:47,200 just You know, dr. Delgado, it's more like I was 110 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,500 able to improve this clinic for my physician for the practice 111 00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:54,100 owner. This is who I am now. 112 00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:57,200 And so now I feel like I can go somewhere and if I see something 113 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,900 that needs to change, I can, I can do it. 114 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,400 So, if someone case that is, in case of him, yeah, that's a 115 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,900 little thing I do recommend it. We really are that gap between 116 00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:10,400 getting the research into clinical practice. 117 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,400 I think I read somewhere that it takes, what is it 20 years? 118 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,200 There's some Number of years from the time that something is 119 00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:20,000 found in research. For it to reach clinical 120 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,200 practice, I'll link the actual research. 121 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,000 That it actually shows that there's this long Gap, but time 122 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,100 between figuring out that hand, washing can save lives until we 123 00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:30,900 actually start doing hand washing, right? 124 00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:34,200 And so, there was this huge gap, but nurse practitioners being 125 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,200 involved in research and then also being by the bedside being 126 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,500 that clinical. You know, specialty were able to 127 00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:45,500 close those gaps. With the He and I really think 128 00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:49,300 when they Market it that way, it really has big benefits and 129 00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:53,900 you're getting to directly use it in your practice which is so 130 00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:55,500 cool. So cool. 131 00:06:55,500 --> 00:06:59,400 I just think that's like totally like the Holy Grail of the dnp 132 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,500 and really getting to see that there's changes in people's 133 00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:05,000 lives in your clinical practice and know that you're making a 134 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,600 really big difference. Let's just so cool. 135 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,600 So and then, so you also do a little side, a little side, 136 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,000 hustle, a little A little dr. Delgado, her own thing. 137 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,500 So what she got on the side, so what I got on the side so you 138 00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:23,800 know, just a little bit of background before I became a 139 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,300 nurse practitioner. I worked for five years in 140 00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:29,300 critical care and especially the three and a half years. 141 00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:33,800 And in ICU, I actually feel like I got burnt out. 142 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,200 I definitely was born that and really was kind of counting 143 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,900 down. I remember the day I got 144 00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:42,700 accepted to the program. I was like, yes, you know, 145 00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:44,000 there's a light at the end of the tunnel. 146 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,300 I was reading about some of the other guests that you've had and 147 00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:49,500 I listened to a couple of them about burnout and you know it is 148 00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:52,600 psychologically draining it, everything that you go to with 149 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,000 patients for the family, especially in intensive care, 150 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,600 your co-workers, sometimes the Physicians don't always act, you 151 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,400 know, appropriately and it takes a toll on you. 152 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,000 So I was really kind of thinking about what I wanted to do as a 153 00:08:07,008 --> 00:08:09,000 nurse practitioner. I knew I did not want to come 154 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,800 back to the hospital but I love teaching and I love, I love that 155 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,400 Hall. A moment when I worked in PC, 156 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,300 which is step down, I loved, you know, talking to patients about 157 00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:20,400 their medications and during discharge. 158 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,500 And that feeling that, that look when they're like, wait, you're 159 00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:25,700 telling me I'm supposed to keep taking my hypertension 160 00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:28,100 medications. Even if my blood pressure is 161 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:34,799 normal and I said, yes, and it's like, that's why you're so it's 162 00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:38,299 just great things, like they'll be able to stay out of the 163 00:08:38,299 --> 00:08:40,299 hospital. And so that's one of the reasons 164 00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:42,700 why I was like, I want to help people stay out of the hospital, 165 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,800 but Mythology, I was I had heard the Dermatology like, oh, it's a 166 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,000 fun fun specialty. Like the hours are good pay. 167 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,100 The pay is good, you know, quotations. 168 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,900 And I was like well I don't want to do something just because 169 00:08:56,900 --> 00:08:59,600 ours are good and pays good. So I wanted to explore it. 170 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:06,400 So in my program I was able to do some hours in dermatology and 171 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,900 yeah. And it's funny because I wanted 172 00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:12,000 to do a whole rotation Dermatology, but because I had, 173 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000 I received a grant when I was in school. 174 00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:16,300 Cool for Primary Care for the underserved. 175 00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:19,400 They wanted me to do some of my hours at a Volunteer Clinic in 176 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,900 primary care, which is great, just totally fine. 177 00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:25,100 Because a lot of it is also Dermatology but I was able to 178 00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:28,000 split some hours in dermatology and that's where I really 179 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000 discovered how much I love it. I love teaching people about 180 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,200 their skin. I love how relevant skincare is. 181 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,100 You know, it's just about anyone. 182 00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:40,000 You talk to like oh Dermatology so like I've got this thing or 183 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000 oh my God wrinkle there.

So you actually mentioned one of 388 00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:33,900 the biggest challenges and it's kind of thinking to yourself, 389 00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:36,600 you know, like is it wrong to charge people? 390 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,200 Like I helped some before I actually created the coaching 391 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,900 business I told You about as the president of the Florida, DNA. 392 00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:45,200 A lot of people reached out to me. 393 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,200 I'd have people Shadow me, you know? 394 00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:50,200 And I'd share my contacts, I get people invited to dinners 395 00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:52,900 without any. And I would take the time to 396 00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:57,100 email people for them and and do the research and do the work now 397 00:20:57,100 --> 00:21:00,300 spending a lot of time. And and then also is like, am I 398 00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:02,300 really an expert about those? You know, so there's a little 399 00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:03,500 bit of imposters. Yeah. 400 00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:06,700 Because sure, when you're only a nurse practitioner for a couple 401 00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:10,700 of years or four years ago, homes that are appropriate or 402 00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:15,200 okay, To say that while I'm an expert at this and so I can 403 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,700 teach you about this. So you know, if the first hurdle 404 00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:21,600 is realizing that, okay I think I'm comfortable enough to become 405 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,400 a preceptor now. And I was excited because, you 406 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,500 know, I wanted to give back, you know, one of my first 407 00:21:27,700 --> 00:21:31,500 Inspirations and mentors was my preceptor and dermatology who 408 00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:33,300 was gracious enough to take me as a student. 409 00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:35,500 Because she actually told me after she was like I don't 410 00:21:35,700 --> 00:21:38,800 really she's like I don't normally take students but we're 411 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,500 on a dance team together and she said, but you know No, I don't 412 00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:45,300 know if she liked the way. I salsa dance, what, but he 413 00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:51,000 accepted had like some family problems. 414 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,200 Emailed me the first week of that final semester and so she 415 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,000 couldn't do it like, oh this. So the challenge, you know, 416 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,500 realizing that it's number one. I'm ready to monetize this into 417 00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:05,000 that. It's okay to monetize it. 418 00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:09,000 And I actually hired my own business coach, because I'm 419 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,400 somebody who needs accountability for sure. 420 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,900 Really, I need deadlines, you know, someone to make sure that 421 00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:19,800 I complete things. So, I have my own coach and I 422 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,100 thought, well, if star athletes have coaches, it makes sense for 423 00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:27,400 us to have coaches to for the things that were crashing things 424 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,100 like you want Tiger Woods as a coach it's like exactly Tigers 425 00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:35,100 got a coach we all need a coach Keys top of his game and he's 426 00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:38,000 got someone that's helping him make his game stronger. 427 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000 You're helping her spy tensioners, make their games 428 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,700 stronger to Get to where they want to be this feeling that a 429 00:22:44,708 --> 00:22:46,100 lot of nurse practitioners, have. 430 00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:50,900 I think it's because we were in this this mindset that we are 431 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,600 just supposed to give from the bottom of our hearts. 432 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,700 It's kind of taught to us in school, empathy, and all these 433 00:22:57,700 --> 00:22:59,500 things. There's also the money side of 434 00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:01,500 things that there's also my time. 435 00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:04,800 And my time is limited. My time is valuable. 436 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,500 And so, if I am extending the services, which you did for free 437 00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:12,200 for however long, you did it for which is the same for I've done 438 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,700 things for free and I just give it away, give it away. 439 00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:19,400 But eventually you've got to go, this is worth something and I'm 440 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,800 valuable like what I'm bringing to the table and so many nurse 441 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,100 practitioners. Don't realize that, that that 442 00:23:25,100 --> 00:23:28,600 gap between, I don't know what I'm doing to what I'm doing and 443 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,500 I'm also pretty good at what I'm doing. 444 00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:32,000 Might be shorter than you think it is. 445 00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:35,700 And again we're always going to be learning so as long as you're 446 00:23:35,700 --> 00:23:37,500 always learning and you're always in that state of 447 00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:40,700 learning, even if you're like, okay, so I don't know everything 448 00:23:40,700 --> 00:23:44,600 but I do know Something, so just figure those things out, start 449 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,800 writing them down, start figuring out, what am I really 450 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,100 good at? What are the things that have 451 00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:51,100 selling, then I can be an expert in and then begin to figure out 452 00:23:51,100 --> 00:23:54,600 how you can monetize that. Because this thing in between 453 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,600 your two ears, is one of the most powerful ways of generating 454 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,100 money. And when you read all these 455 00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:04,500 business books, they say that all the time that your ability 456 00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:09,900 to create, and to dream, and to pull things from that space, and 457 00:24:09,900 --> 00:24:12,200 put it on paper and create a Is around. 458 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,000 It is what America was founded on. 459 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,400 It's the pursuit of happiness. It's all the things that I think 460 00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:23,500 are America. It makes us just so blessed to 461 00:24:23,500 --> 00:24:26,800 live here and to work here. And more of us need to be 462 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,100 tapping into what it is that we know and figure out how we can 463 00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:34,000 help people. But also monetize that there's 464 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,500 nothing wrong with that. I want to normalize that more 465 00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:40,100 and more because I think there's just this undertone of like, now 466 00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:42,200 you should do it for free. It is Something that everyone 467 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,900 has to overcome at some point. And so I think that that 468 00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:48,300 challenge is very normal and very relatable. 469 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,100 How would you say if you had to give one tip to my listener, to 470 00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:54,000 overcome that fear. Because what if somebody's not 471 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,800 exact same bow and they're just like, okay yeah, I'm kind of 472 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,500 where she is. Like I feel like I know this 473 00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:01,800 really well but like, I mean, how can I ask them to pay me for 474 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,800 this? Like, what does it tip that you 475 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,300 had to kind of give yourself besides getting hiring a 476 00:25:06,308 --> 00:25:07,800 business coach, and things like that? 477 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,500 What did you do to overcome it? So, Heard a couple of like 478 00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:19,300 really fun, inspirational books that you talk about ways to give 479 00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:20,900 back to the world and give back to people. 480 00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:24,200 It's all in here, like it's all in our, in our creativity, and 481 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,300 our minds in our own experiences because sometimes people think 482 00:25:27,300 --> 00:25:31,700 well like, who am I to do this? Because there's that pi over 483 00:25:31,700 --> 00:25:34,400 there and there's this nurse practitioner over here, but it's 484 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,200 what makes you unique, you know. It's like because honestly, like 485 00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:42,700 And I feel like sometimes maybe people are competitive with 486 00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:44,500 things but it's like, there's no need to be. 487 00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:49,200 There's so many people that could use your help with 488 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,100 whatever it is. And you ask yourself what do 489 00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:55,300 people come to me for? Like what is it that I have or 490 00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:58,400 that I do for people that maybe they don't usually approach 491 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,800 other people for and so you kind of take that and realize that 492 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,000 well they're coming to me for this, not not that person but 493 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,900 that's something special and unique that you can offer. 494 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,400 There's only one Patricia Delgado on the planet. 495 00:26:12,900 --> 00:26:15,500 There's only one Sandra presenta on the planet. 496 00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:19,400 There's only one of us, right? And so, you owe it to yourself 497 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,300 and you owe it to the world, to be the fullest of Patricia 498 00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:25,000 Delgado. And I owe it to the world, to be 499 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000 the full list of Sandra Genta and whatever that looks like for 500 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,500 either one of us. Again, we all have our 501 00:26:30,500 --> 00:26:34,500 priorities, we have our, what, I like to call my core values, the 502 00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:37,500 things that I can't deviate from, because it would be be 503 00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:40,900 untrue to myself, right? And then outside of that, we get 504 00:26:40,900 --> 00:26:44,600 to how we influence the world that how we impact others, you 505 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,700 owe it to the world to do you because only you can do you and 506 00:26:48,700 --> 00:26:52,000 when your life ends at the end of your life, do you want to be 507 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,400 sitting there thinking? I didn't do that because I 508 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,200 didn't think I knew enough for. I didn't think I was good enough 509 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,900 and I didn't give it a shot. More nurses and nurse 510 00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:05,600 practitioners need to step into that space and just go I'm here 511 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,300 to make an impact the way that I can make an impact that you 512 00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:11,200 can't because You're not me and so I'm not going to be for 513 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,500 everybody. People are going to listen to my 514 00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:16,200 podcast and just be like oh she's the worst and that's fine. 515 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,900 I'm not for you but there are people that will hear it and 516 00:27:18,900 --> 00:27:20,900 they'll see it. And they'll go, you know what? 517 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,700 She's speaking to me. I feel like, I know Sandra. 518 00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:27,600 I feel like I understand her and that's who I'm for and you're 519 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,000 only going to be for the people that you're meant to be for. 520 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,200 And when you find your group, you find your tribe, how 521 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,800 beautiful is that? You're just like this have a 522 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,400 long, that's what I've been searching for. 523 00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:41,300 You've Hope some people along your path that you felt like 524 00:27:41,300 --> 00:27:43,700 we're mentors people that kind of reached out to you. 525 00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:46,900 What would you say? Has been anyone? 526 00:27:46,900 --> 00:27:50,100 That's come along your path to really kind of help you on this 527 00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:52,000 journey. One of the things I've found is 528 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,500 that nurses really don't do a good job at mentoring one, 529 00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:56,400 another. I think we tend to kind of going 530 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,700 back to what you say compete with one another or maybe it's 531 00:27:58,700 --> 00:28:01,000 like, girl games. I don't know, but I think it's 532 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,700 really wrong because if we are actually looking out for one 533 00:28:04,700 --> 00:28:08,800 another, what we find is as dr. A Legato excels, in her career 534 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,200 and And by having a relationship with you and having you in my 535 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,500 network, I can actually get to places that I would like to be 536 00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:17,300 if that's something that I wanted have. 537 00:28:17,300 --> 00:28:19,600 You had that or is this just been something that you've been 538 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,100 building kind of all on your own without very very much 539 00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:27,000 mentorship. One of my biggest Inspirations 540 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,100 is my brother. I think I was in my nurse 541 00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:32,800 practitioner program, maybe just starting. 542 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,700 And it's funny because this isn't even about Healthcare. 543 00:28:35,700 --> 00:28:39,100 This is about dance. He's like, hey, what are you 544 00:28:39,100 --> 00:28:41,000 doing? He lives in New York City, and 545 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,700 he said, what are you doing? Are you, are you? 546 00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:44,200 Are you drawing? Because he knows that. 547 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,500 I used to draw a lot.

It's good exposure and she, and 620 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,400 she's a big supporter of advanced practice providers, 621 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,700 which is, yeah, she sounds like, she's a really neat person that 622 00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:19,800 she's a good resource to just go to and you need like a friend. 623 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,100 She just sounds like a friend and that you can go to and talk 624 00:32:22,100 --> 00:32:27,400 to and bounce ideas off of what? We don't realize that when we 625 00:32:27,700 --> 00:32:34,300 impact others and we are open to affecting their lives and 626 00:32:34,300 --> 00:32:36,600 improving. Their lives, but it's up 627 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,700 happening, is they go places? They tell people about what 628 00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:43,800 you're doing to change their life, it's this thought that if 629 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,900 we hoard our information, then nobody else can use it. 630 00:32:46,900 --> 00:32:50,100 But when we realize when we give away, what we know and we share 631 00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:52,900 what we know, what we end up doing, is we develop dating 632 00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:54,300 ourselves? Despite the fact that we're 633 00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:57,200 concerned, we're going to fall. We're like, oh no, if I tell me 634 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,100 what, I know that I won't be the smartest person in the room. 635 00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:01,800 But what you find is that other people around you, go this 636 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,800 person's incredible. You just walk up to them and 637 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,100 they're able to tell you what I know and they're able to spill 638 00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:10,200 over and so you then become this person that people Elevate as 639 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,700 you begin to just pour out of yourself and you're thinking oh 640 00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:15,900 I'm going to pour too much. It's like you can't. 641 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,000 It literally is this cup that you cannot overfill. 642 00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:22,900 It will never bring you down. It will only lift you up and 643 00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:25,800 that's what I want nurses to hear over and over again, is 644 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,600 that you do not need to hoard this stuff and you do not need 645 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,800 to have a scarcity mindset around the knowledge. 646 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,200 And the experience is that we have, we need to give this stuff 647 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,000 away. Way. 648 00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:38,300 And by giving it away, by sharing it with others, will you 649 00:33:38,300 --> 00:33:39,900 end up? Doing is you end up changing 650 00:33:39,900 --> 00:33:43,000 people's lives to impact things for good and you end up 651 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,200 elevating yourself in a way that you did not realize that people 652 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,700 would go on to a podcast and talk about you and say that this 653 00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:53,100 person has been so influential in my career and what better of 654 00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:57,300 a legacy to leave on this Earth than how we impact people. 655 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,300 That's the only thing that gets left on the planet and the 656 00:34:00,300 --> 00:34:02,900 impact that you have on others. When you go to people's 657 00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:06,900 funerals, they talk about the It's the memories, the times the 658 00:34:06,900 --> 00:34:09,699 impact that you have. They don't talk about, you know, 659 00:34:09,699 --> 00:34:12,199 all this other stuff that we think is important while she 660 00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:17,199 drove a Porsche you know, 529 on, even if that's a car and she 661 00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:20,800 had a 5,000 square-foot house, we don't care about that stuff. 662 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,699 We care about the impact in the difference that you make in 663 00:34:23,699 --> 00:34:25,500 others. That's really what it's all made 664 00:34:25,500 --> 00:34:27,000 of. I don't want to call it a life 665 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,600 hack because I feel like it's just kind of a thing. 666 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,600 It's when you help people and you you see them growing or like 667 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,699 getting better because of something you did, it's just 668 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,699 Such a great feeling and it does it literally kind of laughs you 669 00:34:38,699 --> 00:34:40,500 up. There's a really awesome book 670 00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:44,800 that I had read is called who not how it was one of my 671 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,100 favorites because sometimes we think about and I'll talk about 672 00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:53,199 the first time I ever published. I knew I Know Myself and I can't 673 00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,100 like I'll sit down and start writing something and I won't 674 00:34:55,100 --> 00:34:57,600 finish because I'll tell myself, I'll finish it by Friday, but 675 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,800 no, I need somebody to hold her accountable. 676 00:35:00,300 --> 00:35:02,700 So, when I started this practice, I eat, I had this 677 00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:04,600 topic. I really wanted to write about 678 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,800 So I saw the other nurse practitioners that were in my 679 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,400 practice that The NPS as well and I said, hey would you like 680 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,600 to write this article with me?

So we like set a date to meet 686 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,300 and we set deadlines and we did it. 687 00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:33,600 We actually wrote a paper together, this is the first time 688 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:39,900 that publish and You know using her, you know, each other, 689 00:35:39,900 --> 00:35:43,500 right? Like each other ability each 690 00:35:43,500 --> 00:35:48,000 other's writing schools. Our experiences and every time 691 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,800 you work with someone, you kind of grow a little bit, you you 692 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,700 extend yourself to them and they extend to you and together. 693 00:35:55,700 --> 00:35:58,300 Now she's published as well.
