No one understands the hilarity, miracles, heartbreak, and pain of a hospital emergency department quite like me. After thirteen years of working as a Registered Nurse, I have seen it all. The COVID-19 pandemic was just a chaotic experience to show me that I needed to tell this story. I needed to tell the behind-the-scenes, firsthand nurse’s perspective on working in the most ‘in-the-trenches’ part of healthcare and just how vital intuition has become to helping me stay the course.

Through my panic, anxiety, and complete exhaustion came so many lessons that needed to be shared. From this place, I discovered just how using my intuition in this field could open so many new avenues for healing, self-discovery and performing my best in this fast-paced world. Nursing Intuition: How to Trust Your Gut, Save Your Sanity and Survive Your Career is a book needed now more than ever. From my own direct experiences, it demonstrates how to build resilience, develop your intuition, and cultivate your confidence in a field that has gone through its series of battles. It’s a mix of academic-based information from my training, a touch of spirituality, mixed in with a range of sordid tales pulled right from my shiftwork. Bullies, ghosts, aha-moments, intuition, and death - nothing is too taboo for Nursing Intuition, which is precisely the draw of this book. There is nothing quite like it out there, and because of this, it is needed now more than ever.

Nurses need this book. I do not stress this lightly. It will change everything for them. It’s witty, relatable and may just save a life. It’s what I’m trained to do, after all. So, writing these words comes naturally, and the medicine is clear. Words have power just as much as prescriptions do.

I invite you into this side of the ER. This book is your glimpse into this world of shocking trauma, lessons learned, and all the various ways intuition showed me my true power. Using a mix of journaling, reflection, and examples, I will empower the reader to start digging into their traumas and how they have been coping up until this point.

I look forward to connecting!

Thank you for your time and consideration,
