Double board-certified Family and Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Chinelo A. Okoye joins the show to speak truth—boldly and clearly—about the real image of nursing. As the founder of Nurse On Purpose, Chinelo is on a mission to dismantle media stereotypes and uplift the truth: nurses are critical thinkers, leaders, researchers, and autonomous professionals who shape the future of healthcare.

In this episode, she breaks down:

The harmful myths TV and media keep reinforcing about nurses

How she turned her frustration into a purpose-driven movement

The truth about what nurses actually do, especially those with advanced degrees

Why representation matters in healthcare—and how to fix it

If you’re a nurse, aspiring nurse, or just someone who wants to understand the heartbeat of healthcare better, this one’s for you.

💥 When purpose meets power, the world takes notice. 💥
In this episode of When the Moment Chooses You, I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Nurse Alice Benjamin, MSN, ACNS-BC, FNP-C — known across the nation as America’s Favorite Nurse — for a conversation that will stay with you.
After losing her father to a preventable cardiac arrest, Nurse Alice made a promise: to become the best cardiac nurse in the world. And she did. But her impact didn’t stop at the bedside. From the ER to national television, she’s using her voice to break barriers, educate communities, and empower others to rise.
🎙 In this episode, we explore:
✨ The moment that changed her life
✨ How she claimed her seat in national media — without waiting for permission
✨ Why walking in your story is the most powerful thing you can do
✨ What it truly means to stop playing small
✨ Her advice for overcoming fear, burnout, and self-doubt

🌟 Powerful Quote from When the Moment Chooses You 🌟

“Don’t wait for permission. Your journey, your story, and your voice are the perfect tools to change the world—right where you are.”
— Charlene Johnson, MSN, RN

I wrote these words as a reminder—not just to readers, but to myself.

Too often, we wait for validation, a title, or the "right time" to make our impact. But the truth is: the moment is now, and the moment has chosen YOU.

💥 Your lived experience is enough.
💥 Your voice carries weight.
💥 Your presence can shift a room, a conversation, a culture.

As we celebrate Nurses Week and continue the work beyond, I challenge you to stop shrinking. You are more than qualified to lead the change you've been waiting for.

✨💫 Legacy in Motion 💫✨

“In the face of adversity, we discover our true strength. With courage as our guide and compassion as our fuel, we transform pain into power and darkness into light. This is not just our journey. It’s our legacy of inspiration, empowerment, and transformation.”

Every challenge you’ve faced was never meant to break you—but to reveal the fire within you. 🔥
You’ve carried burdens, held space for others, and stood strong when it would have been easier to shrink. That is legacy. That is leadership. That is YOU.

💭 In When the Moment Chooses You, I share those traumatic moments that turned into triumph. What’s one moment where you turned pain into purpose?
Share below—I want to celebrate you. 👇🏽
