Rounding out the trifecta of wonderful nurse guests this month on Maybe Medical is Flight Nurse Colleen R.! We covered how she feels you need to be able to fly by the seat of your pants to perform in her role, as well as have an emergency and critical care background. We talked about work and home partnerships and how to balance it all while supporting each other. She was extremely inspirational and I can not express my gratitude enough for her taking the time to sit down with us. Thank you Colleen!
