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:

Welcome our guests today, Maggie Ortiz founder of Advocates for Nurses in Austin, Texas. Today’s episode, “How one nurse’s passion for advocacy lead her to the legal profession.”
About Maggie Ortiz
Maggie has been a dedicated nurse for 24 years, starting her career with an associate's degree in nursing. She began with a year-long residency in the ICU, where she worked for about 10 to 15 years, eventually expanding her expertise to include various other hospital specialties, excluding labor and delivery. Over the past decade, Maggie has primarily worked as an agency nurse, floating in procedural areas and providing conscious sedation. This experience inspired her to pursue a BSN and later an MSN, during which she developed a tool aimed at enhancing patient safety and protecting nurses. Her tool ensures appropriate patient screening and advocates for the use of anesthesia providers, when necessary, rather than relying on RN-administered sedation.
After 15 years, Maggie transitioned from a freestanding emergency room to a role as a board investigator within an agency. There, she learned the intricacies of investigating nurses reported for conduct violations and discovered a lack of due process in many cases, a common issue in administrative law. Over the past decade, she has passionately advocated for nurses, assisting them and their legal teams during professional license investigations. Maggie has also served as a civil expert, providing deposition and testimony in medical malpractice cases.
Driven by her deep passion for nursing advocacy, Maggie is now pursuing a law degree to enhance her ability to support and effect meaningful change for nurses. She is a true advocate, creating educational content aimed at preventing nurses from ever having to face their board.

Welcome my guest today, Ellie Riccio, nurse practitioner out Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Today’s episode, “How one nurse and realtor integrates opulence into her practice.”
About Ellie Riccio
Hello everyone
I am Ellie Riccio and I am so excited to be on this journey with all of you. I live in the Pittsburgh area with my husband and 14 year old special needs step son and I have an adult son who is out of the nest.
It’s hard to believe I have been in medicine for 28 years. I am a retired paramedic and flight nurse with 20 years of emergency medicine. I have had the privilege to connect with so many incredible providers throughout the years.
I became an EMT in 1997, paramedic in 2000, RN in 2005, BSN in 2011, and I obtained the Family Nurse Practitioner in 2015. I have worked family, hospice and palliative medicine for the past 9 years.
When I started noticing that mental health played a vital role in all areas of medicine, I decided I needed to be a part of the workforce to help close the overwhelming gap in mental health care that our society desperately needs today. I am currently working on obtaining PHMNP/DNP.
My true passion is to help people regain control of their health through incorporating small changes that add up to big wins. How to use single ingredient foods, meal planning, tips and tricks to reverse Diabetes, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, improve symptoms of inflammation, lower cortisol levels, and live a happier and healthier life.
