Hi, I'm Ellie
I’m a nurse practitioner, toddler mom, and former bedside nurse who’s no stranger to burnout, career pivots, and wondering “what’s next?” After 12+ years in nursing and several nontraditional roles, I started TNN to help other nurses find career paths that actually fit their lives.
This space is here to give you real-world resources, career deep dives, and honest conversations about leaving the bedside — without judgment, overwhelm, or another expensive certification.
