22 Days of Consistency: Practicing What I Preach as a Director of Nursing and Nursepreneur

Wow — we’re already at Day 22 of my Director of Nursing Daily Tips series.

That’s 22 consecutive days of me showing up, writing, creating, and pouring into nurse leaders like you.

And let me be honest — it hasn’t been easy. But it’s been worth it.

I committed to this goal for April, and just like I tell you all — consistency is the secret.

✅ Plan before the chaos.

✅ Prepare before the pressure.

✅ Stick to your process.

✅ And follow through — every day.

That’s what I’ve been doing. I’m not just preaching systems and structure — I live it.

But here’s the twist — instead of using my Director of Nursing Planner, I’ve been using my Fierced and Focused Planner — the one I created for ambitious nurse entrepreneurs like myself.

It’s helping me thrive as a Nursepreneur, just like the DON Planner helps nurse leaders thrive in facilities.

Whether you’re managing a nursing team or building a brand — the tools only work if you do.

💡 That’s the point: Structure supports success.

I’ve told you:

• Plan your week on Sunday

• Set your schedule before the week sets it for you

• Stick to your routine — because you can’t build discipline without repetition

• And don’t rely on motivation. Rely on the systems you create.

• 
  

That’s what’s kept me going every single day — not a burst of inspiration, but my systems, my structure, and my planner.

If you’ve been feeling inconsistent, overwhelmed, or on the edge of burnout — I get it. I’ve been there.

If you want to shift from surviving to thriving, it starts with one step:

👉 Make a plan — and follow through.

You don’t need a perfect schedule. You need a system. You don’t need more time. You need focus.

Planning and Preparation Produces Positive Outcomes.

And I’m living proof.

Let’s keep going — together.
