12/23/2025 Episode #52. Nurse Tristan talks about How (and WHY!) to Keep Your RN License Active. She tells a story of a nurse mentor who had to repeat nursing school from the beginning because she'd let her license lapse, assuming her husband's career would always take care of them. When life turned upside down, she learned a hard lesson (and pounded it into Tristan)!

12/5/2025 Episode #51, "NURSE to MOM to PODCASTER to NURSE."

After a long break, it's time to reintroduce Still a Nurse and Tristan, RN with help from Tristan's hubby, Clay. We talk about why Tristan chose nursing, her path through school, a first job she doesn't recommend to new nurses, things to consider in picking the kind of work you'll enjoy, her 9 year break to be a stay-at-home mom, why she started this podcast, and the process of returning to the nursing field earlier than expected (with 6 young kids still at home!) after that long break.

After more than a two year break, Nurse Tristan is back with a bang! Or at least a friendly smile. :) Through our company, "Crooked Pine Media," we're jumpstarting the Still a Nurse (SaN) podcast, adding video, and are hard at work on our dreams of the resource this platform can become for friends anywhere on their nursing career journey.This video is a quick "hi" to let you know that despite the show having "coded," resuscitation was successful! And... now might be a good time to introduce Tristan's medically ignorant, but plucky sidekick, Husband Clay! (Please hold your applause; you'll only encourage him). If anything on the show is medically wrong, just so so wrong, or embarrassingly punny, you can be certain he's behind it.Welcome back (or for the first time) to Still a Nurse!
