Summary: <br> Is nursing your next career move?<br> <br> <br> <br> Looking to move into Nursing?<br> <br> <br> <br> Some Athletic Trainers just need to move on, so we talk about nursing as a career option for ATs looking to apply their skills in a different setting.<br> <br> <br> <br> I did a rotation at a PT clinic in college.  I realized I was bored inside of the clinic. The sports, sidelines and patient population were what drew me in and interested me in AT.<br> <br> <br> <br> I have note done rotations as a nurse student so I can not speak to the issue with personal experience.  However I know a few ATs who have made the jump and are here to share. <br> <br> <br> <br> Shawna Bailey and Robin Quezada both obtained their BOC and went right back and got to school for nursing.  They joins us to share stories of why and how. <br> <br> <br> <br> Robin and Shawna reflect on their decisions and know that for them nursing was the best options.<br> <br> <br> <br> They also both agree that AT helped them be better in their current job and are thankful for the training and skills they were able to learn.<br> <br> <br> <br> Thank you Tanya Watson for connecting us.<br> <br> <br> <br> Things to consider:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Cost* Travel* Books* Lost income* Job Opportunities* Current Student Debt* Is this really where you see yourself being the most beneficial?* <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Contact Us:<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://sportsmedicinebroadcast.com/aboutus">Jeremy Jackson</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="mailto:robin.quezada@gmail.com">Robin Quezada</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="mailto:shawnabaileynm@gmail.com">Shawna Bailey</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Call to Action<br> <br> <br> <br> Check out the show live and interact with the guests<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://facebook.com/sportsmedicinebroadcast">facebook.com/sportsmedicinebroadcast</a><br> <br> <br> <br> These people LOVE ATs and help the SMB pay the bills:<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://sportsmedicinebroadcast.com/frio">Frio Hydration</a> – Superior Hydration products.<a href="https://sportsmedicinebroadcast.com/miotech">MioTech</a> – meeting all of your sports medicine supply needs<a href="https://sportsmedicinebroadcast.com/1freecourse">PhysicalTherapy.com</a> – use promo code “1FREECOURSE” to start for free <a href="https://www.dragonflymax.com/">DragonflyMax</a> – one-stop EMR<a href="https://sportsmedicinebroadcast.com/hoist">HOIST</a> – no matter your reason for dehydration DRINK <a href="https://sportsmedicinebroadcast.com/hoist" title="Hoist hydration" class="pretty-link-keyword" target="_blank">HOIST</a><a href="https://sportsmedicinebroadcast.com/medbridge">MedBridge Education</a> – Use “TheSMB” to save some, be entered in a drawing for a second-year free and support the podcast.<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="sportsmedicinebroadcast.com/frio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a><br>
