Episode 73 of the Hope4Med podcast features DNP Veronica Sampayo. During this conversation, Dr. Sampayo shares with us how a health scare for her husband completely changed the trajectory of her life. She details the emotional turmoil as well as the mental and physical effects she has experienced throughout her healthcare career. Dr. Sampayo has had numerous transitions, from bedside nursing to Nurse Practitioner to Doctor of Nursing Practice. It was during those various career transitions that Dr. Sampayo saw a gap in the healthcare field in the form of a lack of sufficient career knowledge to support the transition from the role of nursing to the Nurse Practioner; a gap she now fills through her work as CEO and Chief NP at The Clinicians Life.
