EP 42: Nurse Blake NurseCon at Sea 2024 Cruise Debrief Part 1 Nurses Uncorked

nurse blake cruise

It is essential for all passengers to be present at the terminal by their designated arrival time. Those who come ahead of schedule will have to wait until boarding commences, and those who are late will be placed in a subsequent boarding group. You get to do all this while sailing in exotic places around the world. Attendees can opt-in to educational sessions of their choice across various topics as well as take part in social activities on board or explore ports of call during port days. Most of us know Nurse Blake as a funny nurse influencer and comedian. However, Blake is also a strong advocate who is passionate about issues he holds dear to his heart.

All your CNEs for FREE.

So that’s the one thing that really excites me and just keeps me going and inspires me to keep doing what I do. NurseCon at Sea is a multi-day event, it’s a cruise and we have the whole ship to ourselves. I perform my show a few nights, but it’s not just a Nurse Blake cruise. We also give accredited CNEs for nurses, so I bring on 25 nursing educators.

The Ultimate App for Nurses

We also have two full days at sea, so it’ll be our longest one yet. And that’s because people wanted it to be longer. And our theme nights are sports night and fairy tales.

Where did you go to nursing school, and what was the experience like for you?

His last tour, the PTO Comedy Tour, sold over 120,000 tickets. His shows are often attended by nurses from the same unit for “bonding” experiences, nursing students, and nurse moms looking for a fun night out. NurseCon at Sea has grown to be one of the most popular nursing conferences worldwide in only a couple of years! The positive reviews and fanfare from prior attendees are proof that it is an experience of a lifetime. What’s really cool about my comedy, and just my point of view as a nurse in comedy, is any nurse or a health care worker at a hospital will be able to relate, because we all go through the same things.

Meet our awesome instructors, feel the vibe, and get inspired to become a NurseCon member.

So, now it’s becoming a tradition for some people, and that’s special. Nursing school was hard, challenging, and not easy, and I had a lot of meltdowns, but I did it. And when I was about halfway through my program in 2013, I became president of the Florida Nursing Student Association. And that sheds light on gaps in education for nurses. I attended many nursing conferences; they were all so boring in these hideous corporate centers.

To receive a FREE physical copy in the mail, sign up for our mailing! US and international addresses are allowed. A free digital version will also be available on my website. Connect with nurses around the world in our forums, or message your friends and coworkers in your very own groups. Engage with like-minded nurses, check out the Daily Conversation with Nurse Blake, and connect with your friends and coworkers. I start my tour July 25 in Anchorage, Alaska.

They dress up wild and we always kill it on alcohol sales, because these nurses are just ready to have such a good time and honestly they deserve it. I never thought when going into nursing school that I would be in entertainment or have a magazine or run a conference. I just think it’s a testament to the different avenues that nursing could take you down. Because while I don’t work in a hospital anymore, I’m still very much a nurse. Writing education programs and stuff like that. But yeah, it is pretty wild to look on my life.

Your Responsibility As A Traveler

"I first started doing live events in 2018 with nurse.org for nurse nights at MLB games and thousands of nurses would come out," Nurse Blake told nurse.org. Equipment in shipboard medical centers includes defibrillators, cardiac monitors, external cardiac pacing capability, a ventilator, oxygen tanks, x-ray machines and lab equipment. Some lines add technology; for example, select Carnival ships have thrombolytic therapy (to break down blood clots) and pulse oximetry (to test oxygen levels).

I feel like anyone could be a nurse and learn the hard skills, like inserting an IV or inserting a Foley catheter. I think the most unique skill of a nurse is the ability to communicate and connect, and you really can’t teach that in nursing school. I feel like being a nurse has helped me do what I do to connect with other nurses and to be able to do interviews like this, which I absolutely love doing. I love traveling and meeting nurses, it’s definitely a skill that I’ve been able to bring to nursing that nursing has helped me with overtime. Another fun fact, I actually worked at Disney’s Magic Kingdom as Peter Pan.

So, if you look at our pictures from NurseCon at Sea and say, “Wow, that pool is so lit,” it’s because we bring our fog machines, lasers, and lighting. We have a huge production team and staff that helps elevate the regular cruise ship experience, which is already so amazing and epic, but we want to put the NurseCon at Sea touch to it. We like to talk about topics that many other conferences don’t necessarily talk about, and that’s so special. The coolest part is that you don’t have to be a nurse to attend.

We have the NurseCon app; you can also access it on NurseCon.com. If you can’t attend the conference or need CNEs, we have a library where nurses can get them for free. I know a lot of other websites out there that say it’s free, but then you take the course, and then you have to pay for this certificate, or only one course is free. I decided to launch this during the pandemic.
