About Megan Reed

I am an ICU nurse and previous college athlete and graduated from Bethel University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I began my nursing career in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit and spent 3 years there. Recently, I began my journey as a travel nurse, and I have been a critical care travel nurse for just over 1 year working the front lines of Covid-19. As a critical care nurse, I have in-depth nursing experience in surgical and vascular recovery, open heart surgery, neurology, and trauma. I grew up in the Midwest but have found myself traveling all over the country and world in my nursing journey, as well as in my free time. I am a big advocate for the mental health of registered nurses and run a small blog for nurses to share their experiences and feelings in a safe space. Over time, I have obtained several nursing licenses and have continued my education to further my knowledge. Through my experiences in healthcare and the knowledge I’ve obtained, I enjoy using my free time to help educate future nurses that will soon be embarking on their own journey in healthcare.
