  Speaker 2: Hi, I'm siding less. Thank you so much for the opportunity,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: So excited to get into this conversation.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Great Now, why did you become a nurse?
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Great question.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: So growing up, I always used to play with my dolls.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I would always put band aids, use up all the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: band aids, and it was funny because my family, my
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: dad's side of the family, would always try to push
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: me into becoming a doctor. I knew that I wanted
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to be a nurse, particularly an emergency nurse. I started
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: watching the show called Trauma Life in the Er and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I totally fell in love. I'm like, that's the type
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: of nurse that I want to be to really help
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: people in their most vulnerable times in emergency situations. So
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: that's why I decided to go into nursing.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Did any of it take you back? Did any of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it make you question your decision or career choice.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: No, I was writing it. I was like, this is it,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: this is for me.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I love it particularly. One big accomplishment was working in Detroit,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Michigan at eleven one Trauma Center there because that was
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: where one of the shows was filmed Traumling Here. So
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: it's three sixty that I got to actually work there.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: It was amazing.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Now let me ask you this, why long did you
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: do that before you started venturing out as an entrepreneur
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: or seeing visions of other opportunities.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: So I did er nurse for about thirteen years. I traveled,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I did travel nursing, did it for thirteen years. Then
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I transitioned into education and then some leadership positions. So
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: then that's when I started thinking, well, you know what,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I want to make a difference in a different way.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Let me look into entrepreneurship. Because I was.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Already doing coaching for these new nurses and really guiding them.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So I said, well, let me just try to turn
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: this into an actual business.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to doctor pharallh lorent as la la u
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: r e n t. When we're talking about careers and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that's where people look at careers and nursing and did
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you have a specific school that you thought was better
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: for you or you just went to a school that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: was closer to home.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I did my undergrad at the University in
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Leinsor in Canada. To me, it was I wanted to
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: just be close to home. And when I thought about financially,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: you know, I wanted to actually go to Toronto, which
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: is like a big city. A lot of you know
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: people know Toronto. But I was like, you know what, No,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay home because financially it makes sense. I'll
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: paid less money, stay home, pay off my student loans,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and then be able to travel later.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna tell you this to be honest with
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: your pheral. Well, you start talking about nursing, nobody thinks
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: about money. And so with that being said, you start
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: talking about one hundred thousand, one hundred and seventy five
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: thousand salaries. Now that's a salary. I never thought in
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the nursing profession are these one off? So are these
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: like unique opportunities that you're talking about when you say
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand to one hundred and seventy five thousand,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: are they working one hundred and twenty hours a week?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Are these forty hour week schedules? Talk to me?
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's interesting.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, So the reason I decided to start talking more
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: about money in nursing is because, like you said, most
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: people don't talk about that. So new graduate nurses today
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: in these bigger cities like New York City and California areas,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: mostly Northern California, they're making baseline at least one hundred
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: thousand up to one hundred and seventy five k as
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: new nurses. So it is possible in these bigger cities
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to make that much. And really nationally, I think the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: average is maybe about seventy thousand depending you know, kind
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: of give and take. So it's a really good profession
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: to get into for job security and you know, to
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: be able to be sustained.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: On that salary.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Let's be honest, we have a generation, they're getting older
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and sometimes you don't know how to separate a caregiver
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: from a nurse. That means respect has to be defined.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: When you look at a profession that is your life
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: that you are up, that you turned into an entrepreneur opportunity.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: You see the broad scope of financial worlds that are
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: being available for nurses, especially entry level nurses. What do
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you say when I say, Richard, you know that's not
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a respected position because people don't know what nurses do well.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: This is why one of my key agenda items is
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: to really be in the media, to be educating the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: public about the opportunities that nursing does give the nursing profession.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I think really back in the day, you know, there's
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: this this kind of vision of nursing. You know, you
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: just kind of set and listen to the doctor and
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: you don't have to put autonomy. But general nursing has
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: really evolved and changed. Where nurses are working in the GUS,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: working in policy, you know, in the communities, so many
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: different aspects that a lot of the public, you know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: don't realize.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Nurse anesthesia is another big growing field where you're actually
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: making over two hundred and three hundred thousand depending where
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: they work. And another big agenda item for me is
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to help the public understand that we need more diversity
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: in nursing and more diversity in nursing leadership because that's
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: going to also help with a lot of the issues
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: that are happening in healthcare in terms of like closing
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the gaps of inequalities.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: So you say diversity in nursing, and now, you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it always surprises me when I see a male nurse, go,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: you know, because you don't see I saw a male
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: nurse yesterday. Go okay, cool, you know, because you just
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: think that is a female grain and that's fairy stereo typing.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I'm apologized. But when you talk about racial diversity and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: as will as language in that racial diversity, I think
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: is key because we know that the population of whites
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: reduction and then the minority growth, especially in the Hispanic community,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it's growing. Is that what you're talking about as far
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: as diversity.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean in all aspects.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Like you said, there are more male nurses entering the profession,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: so that's one aspect of that diversity.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: And yeah, just.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Making sure that nursing is representing the communities that they serve,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: because research shows when nurses basically look like the communities
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: they serve, patients have better outcomes.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I was speaking of Pharaoh Laurette. You know, she's an
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: advocate of change and opportunities in the nursing profession. One
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand to one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: entry level salaries are available out there. There's so many levels.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: She was an emergency room nurse when she cut her teeth.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Now she's out there broadcasting to the world the lanes
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: of opportunity. And then you have this little nurse in
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: there trying to battle with these people doing care with them,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: which can lead to excessive hours that happened during COVID
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and burnout. Talk about that side of your profession. Not
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: trying to down it, but there are certain realities that
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: we have to deal with because some of this stuff
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you do take home emotionally, right.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, So this is what I do with my
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: new graduate nurses and also some other nurses that I've
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: worked with. I want to get into, say education leadership,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: or want to transition into entrepreneurship, and I think this
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: is why so many nurses are now looking at entrepreneurship.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure we'll get into that in a minute.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: But really it's all about self care. They talk about
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: self care quite a bit, but to me, it's all
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: about fulfillment. If you feel fulfilled in your role and
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you're in alignment with the values that you know, you're
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: excited about the particular population you're serving or the type
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: of work you're doing, then I don't think you're gonna
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: get burnt out. For me, after thirteen years, I knew
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: it was time to change. So that's really the beauty
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: of nursing. You can adapt and do so many different things.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of my answer is so just to
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: be in touch with what it is that you're feeling.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: If you feel like you're getting burnt out, then it's
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: time for a change.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Now let's talk about before we get to entrepreneurship. Is
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: graduating season nurses out there looking for job opportunities. What
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: advice would you give to freshly graduated nurses out there
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: looking for opportunities to get the job of their dreams.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question. So that's what I love
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: to talk about. Number One, I say, get clear, Get
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: clarity on what it is that you want. So many
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: nurses feel like they just want to say for anything,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: that's the wrong thing to do. Get clear on what
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: it is that you want, what skills strengths, what population
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: you want to work with and go after those jobs.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: So for me, that's what I tell them. If there's
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a specific specialty that you're interested in, I see, er
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: doesn't even have to be in the hospital, could be
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: in the community. Just go for that. And then the
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: second thing is to be confident.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: How do you really instill confidence is through preparation. You
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: need to be prepared for these interviews and not just
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: wing it. A lot of nurses think they could just
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: go in and just wing it right, but you can
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: literally be blowing the opportunity of the real jobs that
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: you want. And then thirdly, I would say really working
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: on their personal brand and their digital presence because ninety
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: five percent of recruiters will go on LinkedIn and research
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: these candidates. So really having a LinkedIn profile that really
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: speaks to your strengths, having a profile photo, working on
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: that blend. So that's what I would say.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: We're not talking about Facebook, We're not talking about Instagram.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Were talking about LinkedIn, which is where people go for
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: job opportunities. We're not talking about formats where you're posting
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: your paths or your party and moments. We talk about
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Hey I was here at this conference. Hey I've read
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: this book. I'm motivated by this. So they get a
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: sense of how you feel about the profession and who
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: are who's guiding you to your your truths. Now that's key.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Now you've helped over one hundred people one hundred thousand.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: We've said that a lot on the show on hundred
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: and seventy five thous i'ma keep saying. I think if
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you keep saying, some people eventually will hear it. What
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: is the secret to negotiations?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Pharaoh? So really the secret, I would say is number one,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: doing your research and knowing what city you're in, what
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: health system is going to protectly offer you, and then
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: being able to have a baseline salary that you want
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: and then I please say, add at least like twenty
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: k to it, so it gives you some buffer to
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: really be able to negotiate. And then you need to
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: work on I always talk about pitch it. You know,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: how do you pitch yourself? Articulate your value because they'll
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: come to the table with a number, but you need
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: to be prepared to counter back. And really how to
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: do that is through research and being able to articulate
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: your value and express what you're going to bring to
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: this organization and then be able to just counter back
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: and forth.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Money Making Conversations Masterclass. Welcome back to the Money Making
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Conversations Masterclass hosted by Rashaan McDonald.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And the word Walk and knowing a little history on
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the company. And this company is a hospital. There's so
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: many different facilities and so many you know, always tell
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: people people are always gonna get six, people are always gonna die.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: There's gonna be jobs for you out there. Just and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: also be willing to move too. I don't know, Well,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: guess what that one hundred and seventy five thousand might
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: be six hours away, might be another state away. So
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: be flexible and your planning for your future. And a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: lot of people have a closed mind about that. And
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: that's the approach you're trying to. I think when I
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: did my research on you, Pharah, your success, when I
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: started talking about you started up in Winsdor, Canada. Then
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you're in Michigan, now you're in New York, now you're
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: on TV with Jennifer Hudson. You're doing it all girl.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: That means you're a flexible person with a personality for change.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Correct, Yes, yes, I mean you You hit it right
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: on the nail. You said mindset. Literally, I was on
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: a call previous to us, speaking to a new graduate
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: nurse about moving herself from a scarcity mindset and moving
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: more into an abundant mindset because so many of us
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: get stuck in negativity and they need to start moving
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: towards learning that. Like say, you know, investing in a
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: nurse career coach instead of investment, investing in an outfit
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: to go to your interview. That's an investment and you're
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: gonna get it back right. So positive thinking and positioning
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: yourself to receive right more abundant. So I think it's
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: mindset is huge when it comes to a tu Let's.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Talk about this because it just popped it by head. Okay,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: what does a nurse look like when you're going in
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: for interview? Because when you go get the job, they
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: got you in this little standard, little green outfit. Okay,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: what should one look like when they're interviewing for a
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: job to be a nurse?
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I have a whole different take on this. Literally,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: most nurses will just listen to what everybody else thinks
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: or what they think is professional, and I'm like, what
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: does professional really look like? So what's happening is most
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: nurses are going into interviews wearing either a black suit
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: or a gray suit, sounding like everybody else, looking like
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: everybody else, and they're like, listen, you need to physically
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: stand out. So I'll give you a quick example. I
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: worked with the nurse in California. She wanted to work
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: in labor and delivery. She had a group interview, so
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I said, listen, you're going to get She was a redhead.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I said you're gonna go and get a green suit,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: and she said really, I said yes. So she walked
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: into the interview wearing a green suit, and guess what,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: she was the only one wearing a different color everybody else.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: It was like a sea of black and there you
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: go her in green. So of course she's going to
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: naturally stand out. She's gonna look more confident and be
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: more confident in the interview. So I say, bring it
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: a little bit of your personality, and you have to
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: show up to impress and make them do a double
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: take so they remember you.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Well. The double take is the key and they get
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: to the finish line. Now you mentioned a couple of people.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: The you know this young lady that you recommended for
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the green dress, who was the redhead that's right there.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I'm looking like, wow, it's the nergy coming in this room.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Then the mindset person. So I'm assuming that you do coaching.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Correct, yes, nurse career coaching, yes?
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: What is that?
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: So basically, you know, when I was in the emergency room,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I constantly was always coaching nurses to how to write
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: a resume, how to do a cover letter, how to
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: you know, really get the job in an interview. So
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: I was naturally always doing these types of things, and
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: then I said, no, I could turn this into an
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: actual business. So what I do now is actually coach
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: new graduate nurses on how to land their dream job
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: literally from being a nursing student after they get it out.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: And some of them are even landing jobs as nursing
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: students and they don't realize they can start.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Applying before they graduate. So really that's what I do.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: And I thought it was gonna be a lot of
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: technical aspects like resumes, interviews, but I'm actually doing more
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: transformative work in terms of mindset, helping them with confidence
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: and doing you know, more of that stut helping them.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: With them, So how can we get in touch with you?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: So they could go on my website nurse fair dot
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: com to work with me, or on LinkedIn find me
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: on LinkedIn doctor.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Pharah Lorett mm hmyeah, so that's that's that name will
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: pop up pretty quick. I know that Pharaoh f A
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: R A H and Loret with a T. I think
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: they'll find you.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they can just google me. I'm all over woo.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: See see see right there. See I thought it's gonna
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: pop out. I do this personality, go pop then google me,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: just google me. I'm like that. But let's let's talking
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: about red flags because I don't want anybody to not
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: do their research when they try to get these jobs
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: or what are some of the red flags that new
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: nurses should look for when choose in their first hospital
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: or healthcare employer?
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is great. So I always say, think
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: of yourself as an interviewer as well. You're also interviewing
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: your employer, right, So number one red flag I would say,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: is the interview process. How does the interview process look like?
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: If it's a mess, unorganized and I understand, like you know,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: sometimes things happen, but if it's consistently messy, unorganized to
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: keep chancelling things that could be foreshadowing of what that
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: organization might look like when you're in it. Right Number two,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: how do they treat you when you're in the interview
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: if it's the direct supervisor manager, how does that relationship
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: look like? Are they welcoming or are they very interrogated,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: interrogative and like cold?
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Because to me, if I want to enter a profession
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: and work with a particular group of people, I want
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: to make sure they're welcoming. So I always say to nurses,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: ask for a tour of where you're going to be working,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: so you'll get a sense of I always say the
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: vibe of the place, right, because you can't really hide
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: that right when you're kind of walking.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Through and taking a tour.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Another red flag is if they're trying to give you
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: the job really quickly.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: But that's what you wrote though right tomorrow.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: And then high turnover if there's a lot of turnover
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: even in their leadership as well.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I tell how I'm not going to take that.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Somebody you walk in the door. Everybody's looking for a job,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: not Pharaoh, doctor Pharah, you know, and they go, can
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: you start next week?
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Is that too quick? What is too quick?
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Is it next week?
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Two weeks?
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Were now?
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I mean you kind of have to get.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: A sense of it, you know, because if somebody tell
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: me one hundred thousand dollars, can you start on Monday
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and it's Friday, I'm gonna go. Okay, I'm feeling the paperwork.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm feel out the paperwork. God, I'm just
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: telling you that's a great note because I believe in that.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: But also you're just telling people that. Okay, always pause
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: before you say yes, go home, think about what is
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: what is what is all that salary involved? And I
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: think that's important in the process to make sure you
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: have a clear understanding of your job responsibilities as well
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: as your work hours because and your shift hours there
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: a shift you want to work. So it's important that
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: money does come with consequences, correct, right.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: And like you mentioned, look at the whole package, right, Compensation, vacation,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: time off, all that stuff is important. Is it a union, hospital,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: non union? Is it pension? You know you got to
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: look at all those benefits.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: It's hurt cool now, doctor Farrel Lorang, you're an entrepreneur, yes,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: you know you get up when you feel, like you
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: said in your schedule, how does one transition from the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: life of a nurse for the hour over time tire
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: to be you or be in a position to field
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: an opportunity as an entrepreneur.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is a great question.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: A lot of nurses, like I said, are going into
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: entrepreneurship for more flexibility and freedom.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: So there's a couple of different aspects.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Nurse practitioners are now trying to do maybe a brick
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: and mortar private practice, some are doing telehealth businesses, and
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: then my favorite is service based businesses in terms of
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: coaching or consulting. So, to me, any nurse who's interested
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: in entrepreneurship, whether you want to do a side hustle
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: or your main hustle, consulting or coaching is an easy
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: way to get into it because you're using your intellectual
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: property what you already know to monetize off of that.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: So that is my biggest recommendation. So I'm actually I've
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: recently been doing master classes for business master classes in
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Clearwater Beach. I just moved to Florida recently and really
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: teaching nurses about the basics of nursing, I mean business
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: and how to go from a nurse to more of
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: a business mindset and helping them with you know those concepts.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: So yeah, cool, you're also the founder of Nurses Making
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Money Moves now money Making Conferenations mass class is my show.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Her for platform is Nurses Making Money Moves conference, and
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the author of a book by the same name tells
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: them more about the movement and what inspired it.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: So, actually I was going to speak at a conference
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: and I thought, you know what, what's going to help
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: me stand out and what can I bring to the
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: people at the conference who are aspiring nurse entrepreneurs so
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: that they can benefit from it. So literally, I had
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, so I created this work book
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: called Nurses Making My Names a Nurse's Guide to Starting
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: a Business, and it literally just takes an idea to
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: register in your business. So I brought this book to
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: the conference and I started selling it at the conference.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: I had such a big positive response that literally I said, well,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna eventually turn this into a conference.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: So I had ten weeks and I decided I'm going.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: To throw a conference. And everyone thought I was crazy.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: They're like, fair, you need a year to plan. I'm like,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I got this.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Two weeks.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I had the venue books, all the speaker, and that
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: was new to the Tampa Bay area. I knew no one.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: I got seventy nurses to come through from twenty different
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: states with zero sponsors.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: So if anybody's out.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: There wants the sponsor the next conference, let me know.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Ben Well planned conference with a year in advance. That's
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: how you get sponsors for You're gonna have a window.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: They're usually in the fall. They're out there looking for opportunities.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: So now you have a conference that you can show
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: your your demographics. So it's good that you did kick
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: it off and you have photos, you have videos and
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: all that good stuff.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, here go. I just knocked out my leg.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: But as an nurse, as an ear nurse, we just
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: roll with it. So I made it happen.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: It was congratulations.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I was pretty proud of myself. So the next one
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: is happening March sixteen seven, twenty twenty six. And the
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: reason I chose March is because I'm, you know, being
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: into women's empowerment and really helping women with their businesses
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: because you know the majority of nurses are women.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, absolutely, Uh and closing. If anyone's listening Pharah,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: whether they are a new nurse or nurse considering a
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: shift into entrepreneurship, what's the one piece of advice you
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: want them to take away from your story?
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: So the real key things I want to tell them
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: is if I can do it, you can do it too, right,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: number one. It all starts with an idea and the mindset,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: and the biggest thing is to just.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Take action and actually do it.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Just do it and literally it takes three days or
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: four days to register our business. But the biggest thing
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: is really getting out there, being visible, networking and building
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: your brand because once people trust you and you start
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: being visible and building that brand and getting value and
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: being of service to others, all you're doing is solving
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: problems in entrepreneurship, right, and nurses are big problem solvers.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: So find the problem you want to solve and go
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: But before you.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Do, make sure that people actually need it and want
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: to apply it, and then do your market research and
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: just go for it.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: And that's really my biggest advice.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Well, my friend she's now in Florida. Everybody she started
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: up in Canada made Away through Michigan made Away through
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: New York. Now is you in Canada? Now's you're in
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Florida down at Tampa turning it out with our own conference.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: They will be next year, which is twenty twenty six
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: in March. My friend, you're fantastic. Thank you for educating me.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I have a sister in law who
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: is a very proud member of the nurse profession. But
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: there are so many stereotypes. You've broken down a lot
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: of them. But also then everybody know their financial opportunities
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: out there, not only in the nurse profession but also
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: at entrepreneurship. Thank you for coming on my show, Money
