Hello and Welcome! I’m Joy, a Registered Nurse in California sharing my journey toward career fulfillment and financial independence as a Per Diem PACU nurse.

HENRY Nurse isn’t a financial advice site, it’s my personal journal of lessons learned, small wins, and mistakes made along the way.

Whether you’re a fellow nurse, healthcare worker, or someone navigating your own money journey and nursing career, my hope is that these stories remind you it’s okay to still be learning and that every step toward financial stability and professional growth matters.

Here, I share how I’m making my RN income work harder while also reflecting on what it means to build a rewarding and sustainable career in nursing, one paycheck, one patient, and one goal at a time.
