This week on the podcast we have April Waddell BSN, RN and money guru of Nurse Money Date.
April is originally from the Philippines and moved to the US when she was 5 years old. She spent most of her life in the Chicago area. She started her nursing career in pediatrics! She has a little brother and always knew that she wanted to work with kids. Upon nursing school graduation, she started in a pediatric ICU: her dream job.
However, burn out set in and was only made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic. So April started brainstorming about other areas of life that interested her: enter finance.
Like so many of us, she has debt from nursing school. So she made a full effort to pay that debt off. She and her husband also made the effort to save over 50% of their income!! This set the stage for their move to Australia and for April to start her business coaching nurses in all things finance.
In 2021, she started Nurse Money Date. The mission of her business is to educate and coach nurses around getting out of debt, saving, and investing. She also focuses on the mindset around money. So many of our beliefs and attitudes about money dictate our actions.
