An Uncommon Remedy To Empower The Next Generation Of Nurses!

Mona Clayton, MSN, RN is the Founder and  Executive Director of The Nurses Pub. A single parent during nursing school, Mona felt the need to give back to help others with challenges that were faced while embarking on a nursing career.

Her passion for helping single mothers prompted her desire to develop programs useful to build future nurses; in particular single mothers from disadvantaged communities and in 2018 kickstarted the 100,000 future nurse global campaign. 

One of her greatest achievements was having her first published book, "From Student to Nurse: Surviving The Journey As Painlessly As Possible" to be accepted on the shelves of Barnes & Noble Booksellers. She is also the publisher of  "The Survival Journal for Nursing Students," and "The Bedside Report: The 5 W's That Can Put an Ache in Your Successful Nursing Career" e-book. 

Her inspiration for becoming an author was driven by the tutelage of Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer at Faithful Central Bible church in which she is a member. 

Mona received her Associate of Science in nursing degree from Los Angeles Southwest College, a Bachelor of Science in nursing degree from the University of Phoenix and completed the Master’s degree in Nursing Education at  Grand Canyon University.  She also acquired undergraduate studies in journalism and pharmacology and is pursuing her Executive MBA from Pepperdine University.

Nurse Mona's achievements for working to build the nursing community are: Recipient of "Nurse of the Year"  for Los Angeles County Healthcare System; "Mayor's Recognition Award;" "Mayor's Commendation Recognition Award;" "National Super Phoenix" for the University of Phoenix Organization. A Finalist for the Health Care Leadership Award by the "Los Angeles Business Journal,” "Distinguished Alumni Award" for University of Phoenix Southern California (Selected 1 of 12 out of 92,000) alumni in 2017 and in 2018, nominated for the "Leadership Impact Award," the (Top 3) alumni from University of Phoenix Southern California,  "Love Inspiration of the Year Award, ” and the “Inspired By You” inspirational award presented by The University of Phoenix Southern California.

Mona's ultimate quest is to become a global resource for students seeking nursing careers and to become the remedy to defeat the nursing shortage.
