DNP Ep. 45: The Journey of the Remote Nurse

Sandra Pagenta: [00:00:00] Hi, welcome to the Doctor Nurse podcast. Today we have on Sadie Glisson. She is a registered nurse and a certified tumor registrar and she is the founder of the remote nurse, an online community and job board does that. To connect nurses, nurse practitioners, and RPA friends to remote clinical jobs. Sadie has been working from home as a nurse for several years and knows how to use her expertise to help other clinicians find and land the remote job of their dreams. So she’s going to come on today and share her journey guys and how she built the remote nurse.

She was requested by a listener. So I am doing as I either promise that if you reach out to me and ask me to talk to somebody, I will do my best to beg them to come on and talk to me. So thank you, Sandy, for coming on.

Sadie Glisson: Yeah, you’re welcome. No begging required.

Sandra Pagenta: Well, let’s jump right in. So tell me a little bit about what your day looks like [00:01:00] and kind of how you see your job.

Sadie Glisson: Actually these days, this is my job. I just do the remote nurse. I’m no longer a nurse. Well, I mean, I’m a nurse nurse, I guess myself, but yeah, that’s my day. Now I do this. I find jobs all day. I never worked with companies. I try to get people jobs and that’s my.

Sandra Pagenta: In credible that you were able now again, well, we’ll start from the top and you, I like to start with the moment you decided to become a nurse because I think that’s a really pivotal moment for people.

But just to clarify, you were working as an RN and now you’ve been able to supplement your income by doing this remote nurse, helping other people, joining your membership, KRAS courses, all this stuff is now completely supplemented your. Yes. And your finances. Okay. Making that very clear for us. This is amazing.

Sadie walk me through the very beginning of when you were [00:02:00] decided I’m going to be a nurse to how you got to the point you are.

Sadie Glisson: Yeah. So I didn’t know. I wanted to be a nurse until pretty much like it was time to pick a job or like a career. I was like two years into college. I’m like, all right.

So what am I do? I, it was like 2008. So the market was crashing and like nobody was getting jobs. So it felt like nursing was a good one or engineering was another one I was going to do. But. I got kind of intimidated by engineering.

Sandra Pagenta: It’s a lot of guys

Sadie Glisson: there wasn’t any huge thing that made me want nursing.

I just felt it kind of like felt that it was gonna be the thing I needed to do. So I did that. Right out of nursing school I, I was kind of like having a problem cause I didn’t want to work at the bedside.

I wasn’t really wanting to work inpatient.

Sandra Pagenta: So was it about inpatient that you were like not feeling this. I don’t know, [00:03:00] I don’t

Sadie Glisson: actually have a reason. I just didn’t, he didn’t want it. And I really was more interested in like school nursing and public health. Cause we had some rotations in there and I really liked that.

So that’s kinda what I was hoping for. Or even like, I don’t know, just not really bedside. So yeah, that was a little hard in the beginning because there’s, , I was a new grad, so it wasn’t like, oh, Everybody wants to employ me. One of my old instructors had worked at like the health department and the.

City that I lived in. So I reached out to her and she recommended me for some like it’s kind of like a Medicaid care coordination, case management type job. They were opening like four positions and they paid terrible. So it was perfect. I was a new grad. They needed like, nobody else would accept that pay except me.

So and there were four spots, so there was no competition. So. I’m not sure if there was only one spot that it would be given to me, but

Sandra Pagenta: the bar was really low. It was great. [00:04:00] Small town. I’m

Sadie Glisson: like, who else you got? It’s me. Sorry. So I did that. It’s pediatric care coordination for mostly neuro kid like seizures and epilepsy and autism and stuff.

So I did like care coordination for that. So that’s a lot of working with their insurance company. And which was Medicaid at the time. And helping them kind of navigate their care. So they all, all these kids have special needs, so they have lots of needs. PT OT S T all these things. So you kind of are like the point contact when they go to their PCP and they get a referral, and then they’re like, I don’t know what to do with this.

So they call you. Yeah. And so then I’m trying to like, navigate, , where to send them based on like, Where they live, their transportation needs. Cause the certain population didn’t always have access to all the things that we’re used to. Like I can’t drive there. So like then you’re helping them get assistance to drive.

And so it was a lot of like moving pieces. It was very [00:05:00] complicated. So after a couple of years of that, I got a little bit burnt out by that. Just that specific population doesn’t the, the insurance doesn’t offer. What they need. And that is very hard to do because you’re wanting to help them and they need the most help and they get the least help.

So it’s so hard. Like it’s really hard emotionally to like, deal with that kids and like families. So after that, I did. Clinical research. So I did pediatric oncology clinical research coordinator. That’s what I was and that was better. I did like a mix of patient care and then like computer type work.

And that was good. So I did that for two years. And then after that I became a oncology data abstractor and that was the first remote job I actually did.

Sandra Pagenta: Did you, did you find that job or did that job find you.

Sadie Glisson: I found that job because I, my husband was going into the military at the time. And I was [00:06:00] about, I wanted to have babies soon and I didn’t want to, I was having like another crisis.

I was like, I really want to be a stay at home mom, but I also need to work. And I thought I could blend the two by working from home, which is actually not true. But at the time that was kind of like my motivating factor. And so I spent about six months just like. Ingesting the internet and everything, anything I could about like remote jobs I didn’t really even know you could work remotely as a nurse.

So I was kind of going at it as like what remote jobs can I do in general? Like even just healthcare jobs or I don’t know. And then I stumbled into a lot of jobs that nurses can do. So after that I finally landed that job after. Configuring basis based on like, I had oncology experience, I had research experience.

So some of those kind of led into like this oncology research at abstraction. So that’s how I landed that. And then I did other data abstraction things and quality control and stuff. Yeah. I [00:07:00] birthed the remote nurse and that kind of derailed my nursing career and went into this.

Sandra Pagenta: Yeah. So tell me about this birth of the remote nurse.

And again, now it’s like a full grown man. I mean, it’s like, it’s grown. It’s an adult now. So yeah. How did you do this in such a short time? And when did you start the remote nurse? Let’s start there and then tell me about, yeah. How has been growing and kind of organically, just kind of sprouted.

Sadie Glisson: Yeah. So I think I said it, I started as a Facebook group.

It was called remote nursing jobs. And I was just, I was on a bunch of different Facebook groups for nurses and they were always asking like, how can I work from home? And I had already gone through six months of finding all this information. So I’d always be dropping information. Like, look here, look here and do this search.

And so I was like, why don’t I just make my own group? Like, let’s see fussy if people want to join it. And they did. So that was in [00:08:00] 2018, I believe.

Sandra Pagenta: Yeah. It’s not that it’s not taking that long.

Sadie Glisson: No, no. And I really didn’t even make it into a business until a year later in about 2019. Or 2020 or something like that.

Yeah. So it’s really only been a full fledged business for about two years and yeah, it, it started with me just going to indeed and finding these jobs and saying here, look at this one or here, look at this one, or people would say, This is my experience. Like what, what kind of jobs can I do? And I’d send them a couple of links and be like, look at these, look at these.

And then it kind of transformed into a job board because that was a little bit more organized than a Facebook group. And then I transformed it more into like a membership and like there’s more, hands-on kind of. Care with that. And that’s kind of what funds the entire business itself. So, yeah.

Sandra Pagenta: Incredible. Your journey is inspiring because one of the things that I love. To promote here on the podcast is that you can, [00:09:00] as a nurse or as a nurse practitioner, start something on the side, grow it and allow it to set you free from the hospital. Like you don’t have to continually go to the hospital and work for 35 years and retire when you’re 65 years old, like you are not 65 years old and you have created something that yes, you were.

Every single day. It’s not like you’re not working, but it gives you a sense of freedom that you’re not dependent on whatever the hospital gives you. And so I just think that is quite essentially the doctors podcast. If I could have a definition in somebody’s face, you would be there because that is essentially like exactly, exactly like that.

Because I, I completely believe in this and I think that it’s so awesome that you found a hole in a new. And a gap and you filled it. And so, yeah, totally inspirational. So cool. And I want to know throughout this journey, I know it has not been roses and butterflies and [00:10:00] unicorns and ponies. I know that there’s been hard moments in times where you’re just like, this is tough.

I’m not going to make it. I can’t do it. Yeah. How did you overcome those times? Or can you tell us a time that you were like, that’s it CDs out? Can’t do it. And then you’ve been able to.

Sadie Glisson: Yeah. For the remote nurse itself, for me, it hasn’t been like, there haven’t been huge like crisis moments where I’m like, what am I doing?

Because it’s something that I really enjoy doing. And again, I did it for a year without any money or any business model behind it. It was just something I liked doing. The biggest things that are challenging are just like being, , your own business owner. Creating new things and putting them out there it’s, it’s like vulnerable, , and, and requesting money for those things is like, especially hard for me and a lot of people.

So that was like, the biggest challenge really is like my own, my own mind and my own setbacks, which every like entrepreneur and business owner, they go through that. Everybody does that. Right. Part of the reason. Most people don’t become one because it’s like [00:11:00] scary. Like you’re putting it. You’re, you’re putting yourself out there and you’re like requesting, , money back and something about that.

It’s just so intimidating. Cause you just like the imposter syndrome and like who am I to request money and I should do this for free. Meanwhile, you’re going to a hospital and they’re paying you for something that’s supposed to be like your calling, but it’s not okay if you’re doing it as entrepreneur.

Like that’s, that’s all the things that go on in your head. So that’s the biggest struggle. Yeah. And I would wonder nursing career is the one that more. So I had more crisis and because it, it really like at a point became like not aligned with me anymore. And if I’m completely honest going into. I probably am not like the prototype nurse that maybe would be a better nurse.

Like I, I’m more of an introvert. I’m not very, I’m more of like a communicator to the masses and not like a one-on-one person. Nursing and look straight one-on-one. So

Sandra Pagenta: what was I [00:12:00] thinking? But

Sadie Glisson: yeah, he always just knew it was going to take me where I needed to go and it had a lot of options and that was always a good thing for me.

I hit some roadblocks with that.

Sandra Pagenta: That’s actually really good that you say that. And I think, and there’s so many things I can talk about within what you’re saying, but we need all types of nurses. That’s one thing that I just kind of helped, kept hearing. Is that just because you think like, well, it’s not really like, again, my gifting, I’m not really this way.

There is something in this space for you. So just don’t think that you’ve got to do this one thing. So I liked that. And then the second thing that you said that I liked and the beginning of your career. Oh, you said that, , you didn’t really think that , you, you you’ve noticed that like you were burning out and like, you were just kinda like this isn’t for me anymore.

Or like you knew in the beginning, That you didn’t want to do bedside nursing. And I think that that is something that we need to be more accepting of. Like, there is nothing wrong with this. In fact, I’m going to go so far to say it is totally acceptable. It should be completely normal. We should [00:13:00] be encouraging this in nursing school.

Like if you don’t want to do this, don’t go in here and let us show you other options because. Whenever people like, again, I felt almost groomed. I know that sounds like a creepy word that were groomed. It just sounds creepy, but like, I just feel like, but no,

Sadie Glisson: I know what you mean.

Sandra Pagenta: Yeah. It just has weird things, but I did, I felt room to go into the hospital.

It was like the only spot you could go. And I love that you resisted almost like that sandwich. Like fighting upstream. Like that’s the picture I have of you and just being like, no, I’m not doing that. I’m going to swim this. Like, I’m going to swim the other way. And I, I love that. Like, I wish I had your to be able to just go like, no, like I’m going to swim against the stream, which is pulling us all this way.

I’m going to go. Create something by yourself. So it’s not a surprise to me that you created something even more amazing. That was another thing you were saying that you have to create. And that’s the hard part about entrepreneurship. So hopefully I finished that thought, but my [00:14:00] next thought that I liked what you said about creating content.

I’m all over the place. I’m a mom. It’s like, it’s like five browsers are open.

Yeah, totally. And are you talking about no. Is that the creating part is the toughest part with entrepreneurship because you have to like get alone, get quiet, especially when you’re a mom. And it’s really hard to like get alone and get quiet. And so, and to think, and to create, and then to be like, and this is worthy, this is worth being paid for it.

Like I deserve to be paid for this. That is a, that is a feat in and of itself. Yeah. I love that. You, how well you described that. It was perfect. So. Any, any other highs or anything that you thought this was a really great moment. And , the day that you reached X amount of dollars in your business, or the day that, , whatever, there was a real high moment that you can just share with my listeners to go, like, this is worth the squeeze, ?

Sadie Glisson: Yeah. Well, the day I was really able to quit my [00:15:00] nursing job was like the day of. I just didn’t even think that was going to be possible for me ever, because unless I ended up being a stay-at-home mom, then like, okay, cool. But now that I am a mom, I’m like, oh my God, no, I can’t do that job. But yeah, the day that I like no longer.

Was bound by my nursing career was like the day I really felt like free. And like it was, and it was like all worth it. It was all worth it along the way. It’s just, it was becoming, it was taking up so much of my space that I had nothing. There’s only so much that could fill that can take that one container.

So it was like either I had to continue working or I had to continue this business because it needed to grow like the business needed to grow. And there’s plenty of other people trying, , doing what I’m doing now. So I knew like if I don’t do this, somebody else is going to do it like that. So either it’s going to die with me and go with somebody else or, or not.

So it was kind of like that [00:16:00] moment where. I’m just going to have to go for it. And it works and it did, it did work. I did have, like, it’s not, , this isn’t like copy paste kind of advice, because I had a lot of support too. I have a husband who works. Like I had that security to jump off a cliff and know like, oh crap.

If I fell something would catch me or I could go get my job back. Like, they’ll take me back. Like it wasn’t like. It takes courage, but it’s also like, it is really hard for people who don’t have like that security, , like I could never have done it unless I felt like I was safe to fall, ?

Hey guys. Thanks for listening to the podcast. I hope you’re enjoying the conversation. I want to take a second to remind you guys to join the doctrinaires podcast email list. I send out weekly emails about podcasts episodes, weekly blogs. I’m creating with information about nursing and building side hustles. I want to provide nurses with information that I am gleaning as I grow [00:17:00] my podcast and my business. The link is in the show notes guys, be sure to check it out and, let’s get back to the conversation.

Sadie Glisson: So it’s, I totally understand why it’s so hard for people. And that’s why it’s really good to start slow and start baby steps start like an hour a week, two hours a week. Yeah. And then try to try to start creating that income stream while you’re you’re in your main job. And then when you’re getting burned out with that job, this is something I still do.

Like I’m starting different businesses and stuff. And sometimes I’m like the remote nurses, like taking up my time and it’s like, you get into that thing. But really now it’s like, I look at it as this is such a gift that is giving me the stability and the security to try something new where I wouldn’t be able to do that if I didn’t feel safe too.

So even if you’re resenting your current job, Or you’re burned out. You can kind of try to look at it as a way of like, it’s your security right now. And it’s allowing you to try to do something new, ,

Sandra Pagenta: love that. I love that. That is so well-described and, and he truly [00:18:00] is. And again, I had a conversation with our entire writer.

Beth Hanes. And she talked about a similar thing of just, and it makes you work differently too. Like when you’re at work and you’re building something out of the side, and as that thing is starting to pick up steam, she’s just kind of like at different points in the day when stuff would go wrong.

And she’s like, don’t tell me my side business is fine. Like, you can kind of have that mindset, , where you’re like, I’m going to be okay. Like, cause I’m doing this other thing for myself. And so it does give you like this mindset shift and you start to kind of see opportunities more so than.

The problems. And then I also think it’s really cool how you were kind of describing. The remote nurse was starting to require more of you. And so you had to go into it because you’re like, it needs to grow. Like it needs its gardener tending to it all the time. I can’t tend to all these other gardens anymore.

It’s just too much. And that I kind of get this, like this word picture of like you setting fire to the ships, , and yes, you could go back maybe, but like you’re probably not. And so, , you just kind of set fire to the [00:19:00] shifts and you’re like, all right. We either, like, , there’s this story where like, there.

I guess the fighters were like, we need to go, we can’t fight. Let’s get on the ships. And he’s like set the ships on fire, burn it. And we, we either fight or we get in the water. Like there is no, there is no option, but like hearing you describe, like, I gotta grow it. Like I’m going to have to just let the ships burn.

Cause I got to go in this direction. I got to move towards the remote nurse and I got to grow it like. I think that’s really cool. And you, and I love that you started small, you didn’t overextend yourself. You didn’t just like, , completely burn the ships with nothing going forward. You’re like, okay, we have some of the tools, we got this stuff, then we need to fight, we can do this.

And then you really, , set ablaze the thing that you had going, it was smart, smart move. Any mentors, has anybody helped you in your journey to where you are today? Or have you just been a lone ranger?

Sadie Glisson: Well, primarily I’m alone. Like I try to do things. I try to. Make my decisions alone. Cause I will get like clouded by other people’s opinions and stuff.

But I [00:20:00] do have people that I feel like the stay at home nurse podcast, Deanna, she she’s somebody that I talk to weekly actually in her and Janine callback. She does the nurse writing type business as well. As. The other lady, there’s a couple of them who do that actually. But yeah, so then I talked to them weekly.

We do like kind of a mastermind type thing where we just talk about our business and giving each other ideas and stuff, and it’s pretty informal, but they, they have helped me like with more of like strategy and just ideas that I hadn’t thought of and stuff like that. So usually I try to take in.

Create the information like myself first, so that I’m not doing things for wrong reasons and stuff, like really trying to make my business based on like my needs and stuff. But then once I have like an idea, then I’ll, I’ll try to bring it out to people who I feel like have some knowledge in that area and say like, this is my idea.

Like, I want to do it this way. Are there any red flags? Like, , it looks good or they’re like, yeah, you should totally do it this model. And you’ll make more money [00:21:00] and it’ll be better. And it’s like, oh

Sandra Pagenta: I wouldn’t have thought of that.

Sadie Glisson: So yeah, I do. And then I listened to podcasts pretty much three hours, four hours a day, just in the background.

I’m always listening to podcasts and information that way. So just the entire universe of podcasts have informed me a lot. And then of course, Google, Google’s like

Sandra Pagenta: hilarious. I

Sadie Glisson: said the internet itself has everything to me, a

Sandra Pagenta: hundred percent. There’s this hilarious reel that like, I love and I need to do it, but like, she’s like, The first part, it says like, I’m so excited. Like my family is so proud of me. I’m finally a nurse. And then like the screen shoots over in the person’s typing into Google, like how to insert a Foley.

And like, it’s just like this like hilarious moment with like, and people think that, , you’re doing it. You’re Googling everything. Oh yeah.

Sadie Glisson: You don’t want to know. [00:22:00]

Sandra Pagenta: I Google. It’s not all right. Don’t tell me what I looked out. I don’t want to know.

Sadie Glisson: I was just confirming my knowledge that I already knew.

I was looking for a video that somebody else could. Yeah.

Sandra Pagenta: I’m good. All right. So the last question of the podcast is if you there’s a new nurse, she’s starting off offering her career. She’s hearing us talk. She’s like, there’s two women. And then they’re like, and then she’s like, but but I need help. I need to know what to do in my career.

And I need you to give me a piece of advice to hold on to and a piece of advice to toss. What would you say to that new nurse? What would you say is a piece of advice that you would give her the say, listen to this, hold on to it for your whole career and this is garbage thrown out.

Sadie Glisson: Yeah. Yeah. I would say.

You have to, I really, you really have to learn to like, listen to your own self. That is so [00:23:00] hard. Like, it sounds like, ah, listened to yourself. That’s so easy, but it’s not like a lot of the thoughts and stuff you have or other people’s thoughts. It’s other people’s opinions and they’re in their guidance and stuff.

And people are most of the time. There, they have a good intention. Like they’re trying to help you, but their intentions are given to you based on their needs and their values and what they like and what they would want or think they want. That’s a whole nother thing. But so a lot of times we go into our career just taking like these external.

Voices and being like, okay, well, and it’s a lot, like fear-based stuff like, well, if I’m going to fumble, if I do this or I won’t ever get a job, if I don’t have a year of med surge experience or, , blah, blah, blah. So it’s a lot of like fear. So I think just like trying to learn how to quiet other people before you seek that advice, sometimes it’s helpful because you can at least get an idea of like, what is important to me.

What kind of schedule is important to me? What kind of people do I like to. Like, do I like to help kids? Do I [00:24:00] like to help like hospice patients or something? Like, what’s something that really fulfills me and then, and then trying to be like, okay, these three directions, I like let’s start going down those.

And then seeking kind of like expert advice, like. You’re maybe interested in hospice, but somebody’s like, no, you need to go med surge. It’s like, okay, cool. Let me talk to a hospice nurse because they’re probably going to be able to guide me, like in the values and direction I’m going. So I think, yeah, just kind of centering yourself, getting your own advice first and then asking other people to help you like execute.

That plan is more of a better way I would say to go through your whole career. Yeah. No matter what turn go. , you’re never going to probably go to one straight line. So you’re probably going to be turning all the time, like this specialty, this degree, whatever, but like listening to what you want and what’s important to you and then seeking out like confirmation or, or guidance for that.

I think.

Sandra Pagenta: That’s really, really good. Yeah. That’s no, that [00:25:00] was really good because it’s something that I talk a lot about here on the podcast is creating space because in order to do that work, I think that self self-care right there, what you just described because self-care, isn’t a pedicure or manicure.

Or a facial or just like reading a book and like a corner. Like, I really believe that like self care is when you hear from yourself and you hear what yourself is needing and then you try to meet that need for yourself. So in order to do that, you’ve got to get alone. You’ve got to get quiet. You got to meditate, you got to, , you might seem crazy, but you’re sitting by yourself and you’re really just.

And I feel maybe you’re in your backyard and you’re just like play some really chill music and you’re just back there and you’re like, what am I, what is, what, what lights me up inside? What am I passionate about? Something that I’m good at. And then again, you might find where that inner intersects with something that you can create and creating margins in space allows your brain to.

If you’re not so fight or flight all the time you can create, and you can have this really cool experience that you make something for [00:26:00] yourself, and it could be an Etsy shop. It doesn’t have to be in nursing. It can be something completely unrelated that you’re just like, I am a nurse and now I create resumes.

The hedge holders you do. And so that’s what lights you up inside because you love to get on your cricket and create for 45 minutes. Like that’s what you love to do. So it doesn’t have to be, , one thing and it doesn’t have to look like one thing. And I think that’s really what I want to keep fighting.

Is this, this, it has to be this thing. It has to look this way. No, let’s swim against the stream and be salmon. Let’s be salmon nurses. And

Sadie Glisson: I agree. I totally agree. And I agree because I have the remote nurse and that’s everything, but I’m starting something new that is, has nothing to do with nursing. And like, sometimes that’s scary too.

Cause I’m like,

Sandra Pagenta: when you say, no, you won’t say, okay, whenever you’re ready, whenever you’re ready. I said, I’d love to hear what it [00:27:00] is, but whenever you’re ready, if you’re not ready

Sadie Glisson: yet, I do a lot of like spiritual writing. And like, I don’t even know I’m creating it now, but just more of like a spiritual account, like stuff like that and writing yeah.

I, I, that’s what I have for now, but that’s what I’m starting new and again, yeah. It’s like, it has nothing to do with nursing. And it might not, it might like, it might suck. And if it does, I’ll just close the account and I’ll do something else. Like, yeah, you really don’t have to do anything related to nursing.

I even think sometimes, well, maybe I should say like I’m a nurse on it so that like, I. No, I don’t really care. Like I’m doing the nurse thing over here. Like this is not, this is something, another part of me, so yeah. Try anything. It doesn’t have to be your thing. It can be whatever you like to

Sandra Pagenta: do. I love that. Whatever it is, , it is, I had a lady on the podcast and she’s a poet and she wrote. This [00:28:00] beautiful poet or poem, poet, beautiful poem about the night shift and working the night shift. And it is, I haven’t read it on the podcast. It’s coming out this week. And he said, I had tears in my eyes.

She was describing the spiritual, emotional journey of working on the night shift and she’s a nurse and it was just, it was so cool. And I, I wanted her to read it because it’s just, she has the heart behind it. Yeah, I was emotional and I was like, look at this nurse, that’s just like, oh, you’re just doing, doing hi.

, I wasn’t a high IQ, but what I’m saying? Like, she’s just creating. And so,

Sadie Glisson: and they said such a mystery too. Like there’s probably, these Holly was really like beautiful

Sandra Pagenta: was it really was. Yeah, just exactly like they’re supposed to be sleeping, but some of that, sometimes it doesn’t happen and it was just deep.

It was super deep. And so I love it whenever you’re creating, keep doing. I love it. So for the last part of [00:29:00] the interviews I’ve taken enough of your time is the rapid fire questions. Okay. So these are just fly by the seat of your pants. Get ready? Just hold onto your seat. Cause it’s coming. What happened do you have that makes you the most successful?

Sadie Glisson: Again, just like the intuition, the self intuition, just listening to listening, listening. That’s a skill, like just listening to what I’m receiving. Like if I have. Like gut feeling to go with something.

I, a lot of times I trust that. Like, even if I’m like, but who am I to do this? Like just, I feel like just listening is a lost art. Like nobody is able to listen to themselves. Nobody has the time or space. And like, if you can just quiet yourself and listen to yourself, there’s so much information you already have, you already know about yourself.

? So I feel like that’s like the skill I have that. It helps me like with everything in life. So, yeah. Gosh,

Sandra Pagenta: I feel like I can talk literally a whole podcast. It wasn’t on what you just said. That just awesome. Record another one. Yes, let’s [00:30:00] do it. And then what is your favorite. Oh,

Sadie Glisson: I like, like okay.

It’s very specific. It’s like a deep, like a deep pink magenta, like her fully colored. I don’t know why I’m not the person I’m usually wearing like muted colors, but for some reason that’s like my favorite

Sandra Pagenta: color. Interesting. It’s probably like something like energy or something from it just like.

Sadie Glisson: Hot pink,

Sandra Pagenta: which is

Sadie Glisson: not me,

Sandra Pagenta: but yeah, it is my favorite health.

The last one where I guess this is kind of going on with being remote. Where do you go when you want to be alone?

Sadie Glisson: I am alone 90% of my life. I do have kids in a family, but I guess I. I am conditioned to think that’s alone time now, but now my kids do go to daycare. So, and this business isn’t like full-time hours.

I probably work like 20 hours a week. So the, I really, during the weekdays, [00:31:00] I stay at home and I take baths and I. Go outside. And like, that’s my long time. I have a lot of alone time. I actually, like, I feel like I need a lot of alone time to function. So

Sandra Pagenta: yeah. I heard you say on another podcast that you’re introverted.

And so you’re like, I’m very okay. Just like being alone. And it was funny, one of the guys I interviewed, he said that he washes his car in order to be alone. So I just thought it was like this. Yeah. I thought it was a really interesting question because I wasn’t expecting that to be like the response I got from people.

I thought like, oh, I go to a park. But he was just like, I go wash my car and it’s my favorite thing to do. So. Yeah. But anyway, that’s it for today, Sandy? Thanks for coming on.

Sadie Glisson: Yeah. You’re welcome. Thanks for having me. Yeah.

Sandra Pagenta: Yeah. Where can people find you? If they’re wanting to get a remote nurse job and they want to learn more about you and join your membership?

Sadie Glisson: Yeah. The best place is the website, the remote nurse.com that you can find everything there. I’m on Instagram and everything at the remote nurse. And then our [00:32:00] Facebook groups, remote nursing jobs, and then another one, remote NP and PA jobs. Those are the most active places that you can get a lot of good information.

I’m not like heavily involved in those ones. So it’s not like me giving all the information. There’s a lot of people in there who are either seeking jobs or have jobs. And it’s a lot of good information. That’s like the most active place I would recommend going first. But the job boards on the website to the remote nurse that com

Sandra Pagenta: great guys, check her out.

Thanks for listening. And remember to enjoy the journey.
