This week, Micheline and Sibyl take a deep dive into nursing stereotypes, focusing primarily on "the mean girl to nurse pipeline" meme and "the mom" stereotypes. How do these stereotypes put nurses in boxes? What challenges exist for nurses to identify outside of said stereotypes? And how do these stereotypes discount the skills, labor, and intellectual aspects of nursing? We talk about all that and more!

April Waddell, the founder of NurseMoneyDate, is back to talk with us about financial boundaries! How do we set them? How can we build self-trust in our decisions? What is the significance of specific financial goals? April answers all these questions and more, offering practical tips, a real understanding of the psychology at play, and excellent resources!

For more from April, she can be found @nursemoneydate on Instagram or on her website nursemoneydate.com

This week, Carley and Micheline discuss the challenges and the joys of the holiday season as nurses. They reflect on what they are grateful for in their personal and professional lives, share stories of finding purpose in nursing, and offer coping strategies for those nurses who are spending the holidays away from family, maybe for the very first time.

We wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and a holiday season full of love and cheer!
