Like A Boss

This episode has a little twist to it. Instead of inviting a special guest to talk about the behind the scenes of their career, I share one of my favorite past jobs; working (and surviving) on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship! At nineteen, I flew across the country to live on a giant vacationing vessel and voyage around the Hawaiian islands. I hope my stories about serving in the restaurant department, living off peanut butter sandwiches, and training with the U.S. Coast Guard excites you. If you've been looking for the perfect road trip podcast, this is it! Get ready to laugh, cry, and apply to work on a cruise ship yourself, because it truly was "the life."

The third boss on this podcast is a special one for sure. Abbie has dedicated her past 5 years as a NICU Nurse, which stands for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. She cares for preemie babies each day, babies born prematurely, who need critical care with the goal of rejoining their parents at home. Abbie's 2nd-grade "Dress Like Your Career Day" and her mom's influence ignited her love and passion to make an impact in hospitals. In this episode, a day in the life of a Nurse will be revealed to you, including; typical schedule, locations, education path, and how to balance emotions. If you want to pursue Nursing, Abbie encourages you that "this career just needs one major and one degree, but comes with many different opportunities and ways to fulfill that degree." It was a pleasure to talk with this natural-born Disney princess as she continues to create trustworthy relationships with families and extend the healing ministry of Christ. Enjoy!
