When I did my time in jail, I could only dream of living abroad... Cutting out magazine pictures, making vision boards, looking at other people traveling, hoping to one day break out of this box I put myself in and do the same. Who would have thought, 6 years later, I would be living out those dreams working as a Nurse Practitioner in the UK. I mean, I'm traveling to a new country every other weekend and really living a life far beyond what i'd imagined. My Vision Board could NEVA! lol
My life has been a whole movie over the past several years! Since I got that Doctorate in 2018, I made it my #1 priority to live a #DoctorateLevelLifestyle.
Let me catch you up...First off, what are the odds... I waited until I obtained a doctorate degree to start running in and out of jail! The hood would never believe I used to go to jail everyday and walk out a free woman each time like a Boss! It’s like I had my own personal get out of jail free card!
Once the guards unlocked the gates and set me free, I roamed one of the most coveted cities in the world.... LA!! And if I could manage to stay away from jail long enough I'd even hop a continent and explore a country or two.
I guess you could say I started this travel nurse practitioner journey "doing time" the legal way... as a Correctional Health Nurse Practitioner and Doctor of Nursing.
I did my last bid early 2022 and started a new journey. This required a mental jailbreak. I felt like no company would ever pay me as much as the jail did since I was getting paid more than salary.com suggested. Plus I was TERRIFIED to go back and work on the outs. I spent 4 years inside. Jail life is the only life I knew at this point. But I wanted to experience more of the free world, so I stepped out on faith and out of my comfort zone and exchanged my jail time for a new journey! This landed me the biggest bag of my career in San Francisco! I started investing in the stock market and doing options, took my first job as a professor, started writing my first children's book (Coming Soon), and fast forward my biggest adventure yet- Moving abroad to work for the U.S Air Force in the UK! Just figuring out how to open DOORS is an adventure out here! lol Then there is the insane UK taxes but $46 flights to Italy keeps me from complaining TOO much.
Living abroad is a blast but there is definitely some fine print you need to read before you try it! lol I will let you know the REAL! Follow my journey! I am a strong proponent of using the experiences of others to help make informed decisions. Before I got started in my profession, I was right on the internet searching for what might be possible. So, I love sharing my journey to give others that opportunity as well. I'm an open book. Feel free to ask me any questions about travel nursing, my experience as a DNP or my new children's book! I love building community and as much as I travel i'm SURE i'm coming soon to a city near you so let's connect!
Welcome to my world!
Oh, I almost forgot, I still go by My Jail Name, Dr. Price in clinic, but you can just call me....

My blog is unapologetically me! In addition to world traveler meets local guide, It is the perfect combination of street smart meets book smart. Work hard meets play hard. Trap music meets christianity and encouraging optimist meets reality. My Blog is the point at which humble me meets my alter ego of comedic arrogance and ridiculousness! The point at which my love for story telling and writing collide . If you ever wondered how the brain of an only child works well... Welcome! :-)
I am collaborating with a few other phenomenal Dr.Nurses to bring you some events where we can leave the stethoscopes at the door and paint the town red! Adventures Of A Dr Nurse Children's Book Launch Coming Soon Sign up below for updates!
You already know if I was there it was a vibe or I was kidnapped… one of the two! Lol Check out my favorite place to find the best vibes for any location in the WORLD.
