60: 15 Years In: A Nurse’s Truth About Burnout, Purpose, and Faith | Celani de Leon

Celani shares her winding journey into nursing, despite resisting the path at first. From an early attempt at social work to hands-on experience in group homes, she opens up about finding meaning in her work, the emotional weight of nursing, and the powerful lessons she’s learned along the way. She dives into the realities of nursing school as an adult, the class divide between RPNs and RNs, and why life experience matters just as much as education. With honesty, humour, and a touch of faith, Celani reflects on what it means to care deeply, remain resilient, and be true to yourself—even when life gets messy.
