About Ava Bethea
I am an RN. I have been a nurse for 3 years. Before I launched my company I worked as a float pool nurse during the pandemic. After some time with that I transitioned into what is called inpatient virtual nursing.

I quickly learned that virtual nursing is an emerging area in nursing and that I had knowledge in a subject that needed more awareness and exposure.

My mission is for you to own your seat at the table of nurse entrepreneurship, gaining confidence, skills, and freedom to live your life on your own terms. You will dream big and expand your consciousness as an entrepreneur.- Tina Baxter, Show Host and Founder of The Nurse Shark Academy.
Welcome our guests today, Jen Crow, founder of Nurses for Nurses in Anchorage, Alaska.  Today’s episode, “How one nurse beat burnout throughout entrepreneurship.”
About Jen Crow
Jen Crow, RN has spent her life amidst the rugged beauty of Alaska, finding solace in its untamed wilderness. Whether she's hiking through the mountains, fishing for salmon, or kayaking the lakes and rivers, Jennifer's spirit is at home in nature. Jen is an animal lover to a fault and has a profound respect for all life on earth.  Alongside her love for animals and the outdoors, she holds a deep reverence for plant and holistic medicine, embracing the healing power of natural remedies.
Throughout her nursing career, spanning back to 2013, Jen has developed a fervent desire to empower her fellow nurses. The idea for Nurses for Nurses was born during a particularly grueling stretch of nightshifts. It was in these moments of exhaustion that she sensed a collective longing for something more—a longing for unity, support, and a shared sense of purpose.
Now set to launch in Sept 2024, what began as a simple social media platform soon blossomed into something far more profound—a vibrant community where nurses can network, inspire, promote, learn, buy, sell, and support one another. The vision for Nurses for Nurses morphed into a sanctuary where dreams are nurtured, ideas exchanged, and friendships forged.
To get in touch with Jen, you may reach out to her on her website, email and Linktree:

As a gift to our listeners, Jen is graciously offering:

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. My mission is for you to own your seat at the table of nurse entrepreneurship, gaining confidence, skills, and freedom to live your life on your own terms. You will dream big and expand your consciousness as an entrepreneur.- Tina Baxter, Show Host and Founder of The Nurse Shark Academy.
Welcome our guests today, Matt Norman, founder of Restoring Nurses in Haines City,  Florida.  Today’s episode, “How one nurse  turned burnout into hope for nursing.”
About Matt Norman
Matt is married to his high school sweetheart. Together they have two wonderful kids, an amazing daughter-in-law, and soon their first grandchild. Matt has been a nurse for 24 years and, for most of that time, a pastor as well. In his roles as nurse and pastor, Matt has worked with many people going through some of the most difficult times of their lives. These experiences have given him a passion for helping nurses connect with their identity, fight burnout, and build lives they want to live. He does this through his business, Restoring Nurses, and his recently published books, The Restored Nurse and Healthy Start for New Nurses.

The Nurse Shark Academy 

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.

Why The Nurse Shark? A nurse is an expert in the profession of nursing. A shark is an expert in his or her field or profession, hence The Nurse Shark. The nurse shark in nature is not an aggressive shark, but this shark still has teeth. Nurse sharks in nature are social creatures. Nurse sharks are nocturnal and dwell at the bottom of the ocean most of the time. Nurses, highly trained and professional nurturers, nurses make great business owners as they know how to get things done. Thus, The Nurse Shark Academy. Nurse sharks know how to feed their young and not eat their young, an attitude we foster in our community. Become a Nurse Shark today where we are experts in nursing and experts in business!
