In this heartfelt and somber episode, we pause to honour the life and legacy of Nurse Hailey - a beloved nurse entrepreneur who tragically passed away due to an amniotic fluid embolism shortly after the birth of her son. Hailey touched thousands through her social media presence and business supporting new grad nurses, sharing her IVF journey, and inspiring others to follow their purpose.

This one’s different. Raw. Off-the-cuff. Straight from the heart. After four failed recording attempts, I knew I had to stop trying to make it polished and just press record. In this short but powerful episode of The Nurse Boss Shift, I share a prayer for every nurse navigating overwhelm, tough decisions, messy shifts, and moments of doubt - because I know what it feels like to be in it.I talk about procrastination, perfectionism, faith, and why the very chaos you're feeling might be confirmation that you're being called to more. If you've been needing a sign, needing peace, or just needed to hear that you're not alone - this is it. Let it bless you. And please, if it speaks to you, let me know. Obedience led me here - and I believe it was for you.Here are the highlights:Setting the Tone for the Prayer (1:01)Beginning the Prayer (1:16)Prayer for Specific Needs and Challenges (3:35)Encouragement and Final Prayer (5:50)Connect with Kiiyonna and Christal:Kiiyonna's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sidepreneur_nurse/Christal's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/christalpthehormonenpNurse Boss Mob Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2906101896370538YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/kiiyonna/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sidepreneurrn?lang=en
