Alright everyone, so I just wanted to come on and check in with you guys after day 1 of the main conference here at the National Nurses in Business Association annual Career Alternatives and Entrepreneurship Conference at the South Point Casino and Resorts. That's right, here in sunny Las Vegas, another amazing opportunity for us to connect with entrepreneurs, like-minded individuals, people who can help us leverage our skills our talents, our why, the things that drive us and really help us align with the values and really the reason why we became nurses in the first place, and that's to help individuals with whatever their needs may be, whether it's a physical need, a mental need, um, maybe it's motivational, maybe it's spiritual. You know, nursing is so holistic and we have so many avenues in which we can practice. It also translates to many business opportunities. And so just, it's, Always so amazing to come to this conference and just get this high-energy, high-level, you know, intelligence and success stories. You know, to see people who have been at a conference just a few years ago now on the main stage talking about their success stories and how they've launched their successful business and they're doing what they love to do without having to be constrained or restricted by healthcare organizations that basically dictate their hours, their rate of pay, and the work conditions in which they are subjected to. You know, many healthcare professionals, not just nursing, also doctors, also therapists, we are kind of at the mercy of our healthcare system, which we know right now needs a lot of help. So again, National Nurses and Business Association, I highly recommend if you're a nurse or a student nurse or a new graduate nurse, someone who hasn't passed the NCLEX yet, whatever your, your story may be, you should be a member of the NNBA because there's tons of resources to help you. It's always an opportunity to either create a side gig or to fully get out of traditional roles in nursing and create the career path, business, or job opportunities that you really want and that you best align with. So I'm going to sign off and enjoy the rest of this beautiful day and evening here in Las Vegas, have some dinner, play some slots, and, um, I'll be posting more about day 2 of the main conference tomorrow. So stay tuned and take care and be well and remember that nurses can do anything. Have a good night. Bye.
