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.

But Kevin's story doesn't end there – he shares his inspiring journey into a new chapter as an NCLEX coach, where he's empowering students through online sessions to master the art of tackling NCLEX-style questions with confidence. 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.

This conversation is a treasure trove of wisdom and inspiration, filled with Kevin's trademark honesty and authenticity. Join us for 50 minutes of pure inspiration as we delve into the world of one of Nursing Uncensored's favorite nursepreneurs.
