Free Resources for Healthcare Professionals

Healthcare is demanding, and too often professionals are left to navigate challenges on their own. That’s why we’ve created a collection of free resources designed specifically for nurses and other frontline healthcare workers. Inside, you’ll find practical guides, legal insights, and advocacy tools to help you protect your career, strengthen your voice, and stay informed. These resources are built to empower you with knowledge and confidence—because you should never feel like you’re facing the system alone.

From Investigator to Advocate

I'm Maggie Ortiz, MSN, RN, an Author and National Speaker with over 25 years of diverse clinical nursing experience. My career took a pivotal turn when I served as a Board of Nursing investigator and administrative expert. This unique background provides me with "X-ray vision" for risk assessment, as Dr. Susan Davis RN MSN DNP puts it Founder and CEO of RescueRN, helping nurses and organizations protect licenses and livelihoods.

I founded Advocates for Nurses to transform the fear and uncertainty nurses face when holding a professional license into confidence through education: "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER," as I like to say.

I do this with creative ways like, "What Would Maggie Do aka WWMD," coined by former ICU nurse RaDonda Vaught, and this embodies my approach: equipping nurses and healthcare providers with clear plans, safer charting techniques, and the confidence to protect their license and livlihoods.

My focus is on practical nursing education and training in risk management and compliance, providing real-world, plain-language guidance to safeguard careers for licensed professionals, healthcare leaders, and attorneys. As I always say, "Make It Make Nurse Sense (MMNS) isn't just a tagline—it's my commitment to my profession.

No legal jargon. No confusion. Just actionable guidance you can trust and never legal advice, I'm a nurse with unique education training and knowledge that helps me provide educational resources in writing and speaking events.

You work hard to care for others—but who’s helping you protect yourself?

Nursing is demanding. Long hours, tough decisions, and endless documentation leave little room to breathe or feel supported.

Even with all your effort, it’s easy to feel:

  • Unsure if you’re charting the “right” way

  • Nervous about whether your documentation could be misunderstood

  • Overwhelmed by decisions that feel bigger than you

You’re not the problem. Nurses simply aren’t given enough tools to feel confident in protecting their own careers.

That’s where I come in. Through practical courses and coaching, I help you build the clarity, confidence, and direction youneed to navigate challenges and safeguard your future.

It’s not about adding more work.

It’s about learning what actually works—with clarity, confidence, and support.

The Right Support Changes Everything.

"MAGGIE IS REALLY GOOD AT LOOKING AT A SITUATION OBJECTIVELY AND FINDING THE PROBLEM AREAS.

AND THEN RECOMMENDING REALLY PRACTICAL

AND EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS.

My license, my confidence, and my peace of mind were all protected because of her guidance. Maggie is brilliant and just so good at what she does. Every time she coaches, I have an "oh, why didn’t I think of that" moment. Everything becomes so simple and makes sense."
