On today’s episode of the Buckle Up Podcast Universe with Brandon Rush and Mama Rush, we welcome James, an RN and BSN, who shares his incredible journey from growing up on the West Coast in Oregon to serving in the Navy and ultimately finding his calling in nursing.

James talks about following in his father’s footsteps by joining the Navy right after high school, the valuable lessons he learned during his service, and how those experiences shaped his decision to become a nurse.

We also dive into his personal life — James is a proud new father to a three-month-old, and he opens up about the joys and challenges of fatherhood. He shares the story of how he met his wife, their dating journey, and his passion for working with children and caring for his patients.

It’s a fun, heartfelt, and insightful conversation that blends personal stories, career inspiration, and a touch of medical insight.
