Introduction to Personal Finance For Nurses

This opening session lays the foundation for smart financial planning, tailored to the realities nurses face. Drawing from personal experience and real-world examples, Dr. Richman introduces key financial concepts through a lens of accessibility — from saving early and avoiding risky stock-picking to understanding the hidden impact of inflation on your future nest egg.

You'll explore how much you may need to save for retirement, why healthcare costs later in life matter, and the true burden of college expenses for children. This video also introduces the basics of risk management in investing and takes a balanced look at whether hiring a financial planner is worth the cost — especially for those working within tighter income ranges.

This is a grounded, relatable introduction designed to help nurses build confidence and clarity as they begin to take control of their financial future.
