About this listen

The Official Podcast of HIVENurse!


HIVENurse was co-founded by practicing nurses who understand the realities of the profession. Alongside faculty, mentors, and advisors, we’re building a platform shaped by nurses, for nurses.

Nurses are navigating burnout, staffing strain, and professional isolation. Traditional CE often feels like a checkbox — disconnected from real practice or growth. HIVENurse changes that by bringing professional development + authentic community together in one place.


  • Mission: To empower every nurse with meaningful professional development and authentic community connection that advance growth, well-being, and practice.
  • Vision: To be the Hive where nurses worldwide come together to learn, lead, and thrive — shaping the future of nursing through knowledge, connection, and shared purpose.

  • Becoming a Nursepreneur: How Sara Aleem is Moving Nurses from Bedside to Boardroom
    Dec 23 2025

    What happens when the skills you mastered at the bedside—advocacy, critical thinking, and rapid problem-solving—are applied to the world of business? For many nurses, the leap into entrepreneurship is the ultimate cure for burnout, but it also requires a complete reimagining of what it means to be a "healthcare provider."

    In this episode, we sat down with Sara Aleem, CEO and Founder of Elysian Medicina Digital Marketing to explore the transition from clinician to creator. We discuss the unique advantages nurses bring to the marketplace and the common hurdles they face when trading a steady paycheck for a startup dream. We aren’t just talking about business plans; we’re talking about a identity shift. Whether you are in the "just curious" phase or you’ve already launched your venture, this episode offers a roadmap for navigating the rewarding, often messy, and deeply fulfilling path of the Nursepreneur.
