I've been an RN for twelve years; I've worked in med/surg, ICU, as a nurse manager and now I'm back to bedside in the Emergency Department. From the patriarchal systems that place us and our patients at risk to not having enough time to pee, each episode covers what it's like to be a nurse in the hospital today. I'm your host, an ED RN and I hope you'll stick around to listen.

Receipts:
Healthcare is big business...
