Great topics
Kari,
A friend referenced your neuro content that she finds helpful in her work. When I read watched you, I found I was already subscribed to your podcast. Small world! I love your topics and believe there is so much we need to do to help the newest nurses.
I’ve just listened to your walking ICU episode- fascinating. I have worked in oncology for many years. Your guest shed light on the patient experience I never would have considered as a nurse outside critical care. I learned so much!
Thanks for this learning opportunity. I will email you separately and hope we can connect.

Audio and playback issues
I love this podcast! So informative and easily digestible. The only thing is sometimes the audio isn’t the best and certain guests seem to be whispering so I can’t hear very well. Also the past two episodes for some reason won’t load and I can’t finish listening to. Other than that one of my favorite nurse podcasts!
Comfort & brain food
As a new grad nurse working in a small critical access hospital with no formal grad nurse program and a relatively unstructured orientation, I really appreciate this podcast. I love the mix of informational and emotional support. I find it very grounding and validating.
