About this episode
Join us for an enlightening and candid conversation with the remarkable Kevin Gibson, better known as The Boot Nurse, in his triumphant return appearance on the show!

In this episode, Kevin opens up about his challenging experiences working in the ICU, navigating through toxic workplace dynamics, grappling with unresponsive management, and confronting a system that often fails to support new nurses adequately.

Get ready to hear all about his upcoming book, 'Conquer it: The Journey to Passing the NCLEX,' and gain invaluable insights into his personal philosophies and perspectives on nursing and life in general.
