Who are we

Everything you want to know about All One Nurse


If you’re in nursing school or navigating your first 1–1.5 years as a nurse, this space was created with you in mind. This is where you can breathe, learn, grow, and feel supported as you step into one of the most meaningful callings in the world.


The transition into nursing is beautiful, challenging, stretching, and sacred. But it can also feel overwhelming — especially in your first year and a half. All One Nurse exists to walk with you through that season.

Here, you’ll find support that helps you grow:

  • Clinically — building judgment, confidence, and competence
  • Emotionally — navigating stress, doubt, and the weight of caring for others
  • Spiritually — staying grounded in faith when the work feels heavy
  • Professionally — learning how to thrive, not just survive.

    This is a community that sees you, values you, and believes in the nurse you’re becoming.

You Belong Here
Whether you’re studying for licensure, preparing for your first shift, or trying to find your rhythm as a new nurse, All One Nurse is here to remind you:
You are capable.
You are growing.
You are needed.
And you don’t have to walk this journey alone.
Explore the podcast, mentorship, and resources designed to help you become a whole nurse — inside and out.


Founder Story

Who’s Behind All One Nurse?

Hi, I am Shenell Thompkins.

I’m Shenell Thompkins — nurse educator, mentor, and host of the All One Nurse Podcast.

For over 13 years, I’ve worked across Progressive Care, Cardiovascular ICU (CVICU), and Critical Care education. Today, I guide new nurses through orientation, clinical development, and the emotional transition from student to practicing nurse.

People often describe me as personable, easy to talk to, and genuinely kind — and I bring that same heart into every resource, conversation, and piece of content I create here.`

What people say

Rachell Dumas, MSN, RN

I had the pleasure of being a guest on Shenell Thompkins’ All One Nurse podcast and she is truly a light in this space. She creates an environment where real conversations can happen and her ability to guide meaningful dialogue is a gift. Her topics are impactful, honest, and deeply relevant to the challenges we face in healthcare today. Shenell brings so much knowledge about the system itself and understands the realities that patients and providers navigate. We were able to have an open and sincere conversation about that intersection and it reminded me why voices like hers matter. It was a joy to be part of her show and I am grateful for the experience. I highly recommend the All One Nurse podcast and I hope Shenell continues to thrive in this space because these conversations are needed now more than ever.

Ebony Gonzalez MBA-HCM, BSN, RN, NI-BC

Being a guest on the All One Nurse podcast was such an exciting and meaningful experience for me. I can’t thank Shenell enough for providing this opportunity to me. This was my first experience as a postcast guest. Shenell and I immediately connect through our shared passion for supporting new nurses. The conversation felt natural; I felt like I was speaking with a life long friend. It was purpose-driven, and in line with the work I do to help new graduates thrive. I left our conversation energized and motivated to do more. For anyone considering partnering with All One Nurse, know that your voice and story will be honored.
