S1E14 How One Cardiac Nurse Listened to Her Heart and Became a Medical Writer with Allison DeMajistre

    We interview nurses who are business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders. We want to hear inspiring stories from the nurse next door who is making a difference in the entrepreneurial and business space. Welcome to our guest today, Allison DeMajistre, the owner and founder of The Cardioscribe, in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Today’s episode, How One Cardiac Nurse Listened to Her Heart and Became a Medical Writer. My husband, at the time, was an alcoholic, and after 15 years of marriage, we were divorced, mainly as a result of alcoholism. After we divorced I realized I needed to do something to support myself and my kids so I went to nursing school and that's how I landed where I am today. I had always had an interest in critical care and knew that was where I wanted to practice. I gravitated toward the cardiac ICU and spent quite a few years there. During Covid, I started to do some agency nursing and worked at different hospitals on the east coast. I became burned out and decided I needed something that gave me some personal fulfillment, so I decided to start writing again.   Follow Allison DeMajistre on LinkedIn and visit her website: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allison-demajistre https://www.thecardioscribe.com/     Our mission at The Nurse Shark Academy is to expand the consciousness of nurses as experts to reflect their individual and collective power by promoting self-agency through inspiring nurses to dream big, reach far, and soar to new heights in business and the profession of nursing thereby producing a healthier & richer society.
