Flowers, MSN, BS, RN, WHNP-BC------------------------------------------------------------Grab your VIRTUAL REMOTE and tune in where you like to watch📱💻and listen🎧: https://sociatap.com/NursingInspired/listen-up-future-nurse-podcast------------------------------------------------------------ABOUT THE GUEST: Dr. Samantha Faith Calhoun is a registered nurse and clinical assistant professor in the College of Nursing at the University of Memphis. She is a beacon of compassion, inspiration, resilience, and unwavering determination. With nearly a decade of experienceas a nursing professional, including six years in academic nursing, Samantha's journey has been rewarding, beginning at 22.Born and raised in Memphis, TN, the first to graduate from college, the first nurse, and Ph.D. in her family, Samantha exemplifies the spirit of breaking barriers and paving the way for others. Her life's mission is to live authentically and to take up space as a quiet giant with the fearlessness to be true to her core values and her calling to care for others. Challenges and self-discovery marked Samantha's path to earning her Ph.D., which was not an uncommon theme in her overall academic journey. Samantha reflected on valuablelessons from a pivotal moment when she withdrew from her nursing school program during the second semester due to the challenges of the rigorous course load. In those tough moments, the compassion of her academic dean intervened, seeing potential in Samantha that she didn't believe in at the time. She not only persevered through nursing school but faced the additional challenge of failing her boards after graduating, only to rise again with faith and clarity regarding her purpose as a nurse educator. Samantha feels blessed to enter students' lives precisely when they need someone to understand and guide them through self-doubt.In addition to her academic and professional achievements, Samantha's commitment to making a difference extends beyond the classroom. Her dissertation research was inspiredby the struggles of Black men in her family and her patients with hypertension. Her study examined Black men's shared decision-making preferences in the U.S. Mid-South region.Furthermore, Samantha and her husband, Jeremy Calhoun, passionately serve the MidSouth through their non-profit, STS Enterprise, and Simply Faith, a women's faith coachingministry.As Samantha continues her journey, she hopes to inspire those around her and be a vessel for positive change, whether as a nurse scientist, leader, educator or simply as a compassionate human being. Samantha's self-published book, titled "Simply Faith, ABrown Girl's Book of Encouragement for Nursing School: I Already Quit So You Don't Have To," is set to be released in 2025. Samantha hopes to inspire others to live authentically, believe in themselves, and use their gifts to make a difference.

With over eight years of experience in both fields, Daijah offers invaluable advice and strategies for success, drawing from her experiences as a registered nurse and a dedicated Nurse Officer in the Army National Guard. Explore her story and uncover practical tips for navigating the intersection of military and nursing careers.PODCAST HOST: Fallon M. Flowers, MSN, BS, RN, WHNP-BC------------------------------------------------------------Grab your VIRTUAL REMOTE and tune in where you like to watch📱 💻and listen🎧: https://sociatap.com/NursingInspired/listen-up-future-nurse-podcast------------------------------------------------------------ABOUT THE GUEST: I'm Daijah Cobb, also known as The Army RN. With a rich background in both military service and nursing. For the past eight years, I've proudly served in the Military, concurrently practicing as a registered nurse for the last four. My military journey began at the age of 18 when I enlisted in the Army National Guard as a 74D CBRN soldier. Fast forward four years, and I proudly walked away from the University of Louisiana at Monroe with a Bachelor's degree in Nursing. Transitioning seamlessly into travel nursing one year later, I ascended from the rank of E5 Sergeant to a commissioned Nurse Officer in the Army National Guard. Today, I balance my civilian career as a PRN Float Pool Nurse, attending drill weekends once a month as a Nurse Officer. At 27, I stand as a registered nurse in the civilian world and a dedicated nurse officer in the Military. While military service wasn't my initial goal, it unquestionably became my best decision. What began as a means to navigate nursing school evolved into a journey that opened countless doors. I'm excited to share my insights and experiences with you as you embark on your own extraordinary path.Connect with Deijah on Insta, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube @thearmyrn.
