To set the foundation of your success path to your dream job, we will start with discovering the important mindset shifts that will prepare you with an overall positive outlook.

Here, you’ll explore how to discover your confidence as a nurse and learn how to be comfortable with hearing no (you’ll be surprised to hear that “no” will actually bring you closer to your dreams!).

Module 2: Discovering Your Nursing Self

You may not know what field you’re passionate about yet, and if you do you may need some validation that you’re making the right move.

Here you’ll explore your nursing strengths, your lifestyle motivators, and learn about different nursing settings to gain crystal clear clarity of your future path.

Without knowing what you are truly passionate about, you can find yourself applying for just any job, as opposed to getting laser focused and working towards finding THE right job for you.

Once you’ve discovered what specialty is the perfect one for you, it’s time to learn about the work options in your community.

Here you’ll assess the community where you live (or plan to work), discover the different practice settings in your community, and start to make a list of potential workplaces.

Many are tempted to simply research potential jobs using online job boards, but without properly assessing your community you’re guaranteed to miss out on some amazing opportunities that could be in your backyard!

Here you’ll learn how to efficiently organize your credentials and write a stellar résumé and cover letter that will leave the reader dialing your number before they are done reading it!

It can be tempted to put everything together quickly and hit send on that application, but it’s important to take the time to prepare and review your application so that your application matches the passion you feel inside!

• Organize all your credentials and professional history in a centralized place so that you write your résumé and complete your application (without any tears!) and never miss a renewal deadline

Module 5: Preparing for Your Interviews

You’ve impressed a hiring manager on paper and landed an interview! Now it’s time to show them – in person – what they can expect by hiring you.

Here you’ll learn how to prepare, what questions you may be asked, and how to close the deal.

Many people can make themselves look great on paper, but if you aren’t prepared to make a great impression in person, then the opportunity will be offered to another candidate.

• Learn the things that matter (and those that don’t) when preparing for an interview
• Review a list of common questions you may be asked and prepare a list of questions to ask them so that you get the information needed about whether this is the best opportunity for you

Module 6: Next Steps!

It’s time to wrap things up and get an idea of the next steps after receiving a job offer (or two!).

Here you’ll learn the basics of what aspects to consider in order to choose the best offer for you. You’ll also discover what it means to negotiate and how to do it without sweaty palms or a shaky voice.

Receiving a job offer is an incredibly feeling, but it’s important to take the time to consider all aspects of an offer before accepting something that may not be the best fit (or may not be offering what you’re worth).

• Learn how to consider your job offers and how to know when officially even have an offer
• Discover the basics of negotiation, and why it doesn’t simply mean asking for more money
• Use my negotiation templates and job acceptance/decline templates to make sure you’re addressing the crucial aspects of this discussion
