I think a lot of us want to earn extra money but don't know where to begin.

The truth is, you don't always need a lot of money to start. Sometimes you just need to make use of what you already know.

What's stopping you from giving a side hustle a try?

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

@DarkHorseEntre1 Exactly! I think that's where a lot of people get stuck. There's always another side hustle promising better results, so people keep switching. Sometimes it's better to give one idea a proper chance, learn as you go and see what works.

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

More people want to earn extra income, but knowing where to start can feel overwhelming.

You don't need to try every side hustle you see online.

Start with what you know, what you can learn and what people actually need.

What's holding you back from starting?

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

@CyberCollectin I love this! 😊 Vintage reselling is such an interesting side hustle. There's something satisfying about finding pieces that someone else will love. And it's nice when you can turn something you enjoy into an extra source of income.

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

@11th_April__ I'd look into virtual assistance, freelancing or tutoring online. It really depends on what skills you have and how much time you can spare. I'd start with one, see if there's demand and build from there rather than trying too many things at once.

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

@therandoms2024_ I'd suggest freelancing, virtual assistance, tutoring or selling digital products. But I think the best place to start is with a skill you already have. It's easier to build from there than jump into something you know nothing about.

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

@iitsNoahhhh I'd say start with something you already know how to do. Maybe tutoring, freelancing or offering a simple service online. You don't always need a lot of money to start. Sometimes it's about making use of the skills you already have.

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

@GrumpyRn74 I think a lot of nurses find talking about themselves harder than talking about their patients! 😂 Sometimes we forget just how much we do every day. You've probably got more to share than you realise. 💙

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

@nesravomigarbi Absolutely! 👏 It's not just about what you know, but how you respond when things go wrong. Staying calm, recognising deterioration and escalating concerns quickly can make all the difference. 🩺

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

@nr_davidolise That's an interesting interview question! 😅 I'd probably smile, but still treat them like any other patient. Everyone deserves the same care, dignity and professionalism, celebrity or not. 🩺

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

@Trainlikedime Haha, sometimes you just have to trust yourself and go for it! 😂 Clearly, it worked out for you. So happy for you! 💙

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

🩺 “Tell me about yourself.”

A simple question that can leave nurses stuck!

Here's a tip:
✅ Share your nursing background.
✅ Highlight your strengths.
✅ Explain why you want the role.

Keep it natural, not memorised.

💙 Which interview question do you struggle with most?

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

@SheTheDee152811 @hermionegingol1 That makes it even more upsetting, Dee. There was really no need to make you feel uncomfortable over something that wasn't relevant to the job. Interviews can be nerve-racking enough without being treated that way. 💙

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

@RecruitmentPq That's a good point. Having other options can take some pressure off. I also think preparation helps. When you know your experience and can talk about it naturally, interviews feel a little less intimidating. 😊

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

@SheTheDee152811 @hermionegingol1 That's awful, Dee. Nobody deserves to be embarrassed like that during an interview. If driving was essential for the role, it could have been explained respectfully. I'm sorry you experienced that. 💙

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

🩺 Ever been asked how you'd manage a busy shift during a nursing interview?

Don't just say, “I'd manage my time well.”

Explain how you'd assess patients' needs, prioritise urgent care, communicate with your team and ask for help when needed.

Patient safety always comes first.

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

@TressaBell39905 Hope the interview went well! 🩺 It’s lovely to see someone returning to an area of nursing that clearly means so much to them. Wishing you the very best with this next chapter. 💙

[Crepee Vault | Digital Guides & Toolkits @CrepeeVault]

🩺 A medication error comes up in your nursing interview. What would you say?

Start with patient safety. Then think: escalate, assess, follow local policy, document and reflect.

You don’t need a “perfect” answer. Show that you would act safely, honestly and professionally.
