What does it really take to spend 27 years caring for people during their most vulnerable moments - and still wake up excited for work? Nika Claes Terjesen, a native San Franciscan and labor & delivery nurse, shares the unvarnished truth about nursing: the 5:20 AM wake-ups, the life-and-death responsibility, and why you literally can't have an off day when babies' lives are in your hands.

In this honest conversation, she reveals what nursing school won't tell you, how nurses survive financially in expensive cities like San Francisco, and why her profession has something most corporate jobs lack - genuine support systems and true work-life boundaries.

Nika explains why nursing offers both deep meaning and financial stability, what it's like to be someone's advocate in their most sacred moments, and why after nearly three decades, she still feels privileged to touch so many lives.

Ever wondered what it takes to build a career around genuine human connection, this episode will show you what that looks like in practice.
