In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Professor Dannette Mathis, a seasoned nurse with 11 years of experience and a beloved faculty member at Concordia University, St. Paul. Dannette shares the unforgettable story of the moment she truly felt like a nurse—when clinical skills met human connection and purpose came to life.
Together, we explore the deeper meaning behind the profession—how nursing goes far beyond procedures and protocols. It’s about seeing the whole person, being present in sacred moments, and remembering the “why” that keeps you grounded through it all.
