Most nurses didn’t go into healthcare to help patients manage disease.

But that’s what many of us are doing every single shift.

Normal labs. Worsening symptoms. More meds. Less time. No real answers.

In this episode of Dare to Do Nursing Differently, we talk about why more nurses are stepping outside the sick care model and into functional nursing.

Not because they “gave up.”But because they wanted to actually help people heal.

Functional nursing isn’t about abandoning nursing. It’s about practicing it fully.

Time with patients. Root-cause investigation. Education, coaching, prevention. And yes, working outside insurance when needed.

If you’ve ever gone home knowing something was missing…

This conversation will resonate deeply.

Watch the episode and decide for yourself what doing nursing differently could look like.

Most nurses don’t struggle with communication because they’re bad at it.

They struggle because nursing education prepares them to manage physiology — not human behavior under stress.

In this episode, I sit down with Cheri Tree, founder of Codebreaker Technologies and creator of the BANK Methodology.

We talk about why:

• The patient who “won’t listen” is often overwhelmed, not nonadherent

• Conflict at work usually comes from mismatched communication styles, not attitude problems

• Nurses are influencing decisions all day long without frameworks to support that responsibility

• Understanding personality patterns can reduce friction without asking nurses to say more or try harder

This isn’t about becoming more polished or professional.

It’s about communicating in ways that actually land so your energy stays with you instead of getting drained in every interaction.

If conversations at work feel heavier than the workload itself, this episode will meet you where you are.

Watch when you’re ready.

Dare to Do Nursing Differently with Jason Nunez: Mapping Financial Freedom for Nurses

What if the key to nurse retention isn't just about better ratios, but about better pay transparency?

In this episode, Teresa Sanderson sits down with Jason Nunez, RN and founder of Map My Pay, to explore how nurses across the country are being held back by a lack of critical financial information. Jason shares his journey from corporate layoffs to California nursing, where he discovered that strategic location choices could mean thousands more in take-home pay each month, without overtime dependency.

In this conversation, you'll discover:

• Why California and Oregon lead the nation in nurse-to-patient ratios (and what that means for your career)
• How Map My Pay helps nurses compare salary, cost of living, schools, and crime rates side-by-side across cities
• The hidden truth: why so many nurses are living paycheck to paycheck, and how to break free
• Jason's philosophy on choosing lifestyle first, then finding the job that fits
• Real talk on overtime culture and why adequate staffing beats extra shifts every time

Whether you're a bedside nurse feeling burned out, an aspiring entrepreneur, or a nursing leader rethinking retention strategies, this episode challenges you to think differently about compensation, location, and what nurses truly deserve.
