NURSE MO
In this episode, Monique Doughty a.k.a.
“Nurse Mo” shares her tips for self-love,
living life to the fullest, earning what you’re
worth, and so much more.
Monique truly defines the word ‘Resilient’:
able to withstand or recover quickly from
difficult conditions. Her life was far from
easy, and she’s failed, but her persistence
and determination kept her from giving up.
From growing up in a bad
neighborhood, to working
for $2 per hour plus tips with
a very expensive degree,
Monique never let obstacles
stand in her way. Now, she is
paying it forward and
helping young women to
live their dream life, both
professionally and mentally.

M O R E A B O U T
N U R S E M O
Monique is a Critical
Care Traveling
Registered Nurse. She
grew up in South
Philadelphia and quickly
realized that she didn’t
like what was going on
around her. She wanted
to make a better life for
herself and going back
was not an option. She
attended Hampton
University in 2006, and
since has been living a
nomad lifestyle and
traveling the world as a
nurse and influencer to
young women through
her booming brand, The
Resilient Nurse.

Key Topics

Living For You
Women are always waiting – for the perfect relationship, for
friends to get on board with what they’re doing, etc.
Monique lives for experiences in life – she has traveled to
several countries solo, just because she just wanted to go.
If you spend your life waiting for other people to join you, you
may be waiting forever and missing out on a lot of
opportunities.
Anything could happen to you anywhere, so you can’t put
your life on hold because your afraid of what could happen.
Resilient Nurse
Monique started her brand in 2014 when she began travel
nursing, she had a small following online and built it over 4
years into a larger community.
There were no resources for her to learn what it may be like
for her as a young woman of color – how to be a travel nurse,
what to expect, and more.
She speaks to young, black girls who people are telling that
you can’t do it.
She wanted to change the face of what healthcare looked
like, and she speaks to young, black women who people are
telling that they can’t do it.
She blogs about her experiences, what she does on her off
days, self care, and more to help people to understand what
it’s like to be in this career.

INCREASING YOUR
WORTH
All worth is not monetary, and you
can’t ask for something that you
haven’t worked for yet.
Monique worked for free to gain
exposure and build her brand.
She grew her worth mentally – she
believes in what she is creating – her
brand is hers and no one can take that
away from her.
Statistical worth is another aspect –
she grew her social media following
40K in just a few months.
You have to figure out what people
what to hear from you to build organic
followers.
Collaboration is very important –
partner with other brands that make
sense within your field to help build
credibility.
The final aspect is knowing how to
negotiate.
Know what you can provide, then ask
for what you believe that is worth, and
don’t back down – stand confidently in
your worth.
