Things We Love About Nursing Vol. 1 Nov 14, 2017

Show notes

Adrianne wakes Andrew up from a deep sleep to make a list of things we love about our profession...you know, normal stuff.
Bet you won't guess some of the things on our list. No, this time we don't include spontaneous vacation time or patients that can clean their own behinds, but we think our selections rank at the top. This is just the first part of many as we attempt to balance out all the complaining we did in our 'Pet Peeves' episodes.
What are your favorite things about nursing? We'd love to hear your comments and stories.

Show notes

Weeee'reeee back with part 2, answering a list of listener questions, but for the second half, we'll be doing things more rapid-fire style. Well, rapid-fire for us, which still makes for a long episode.
We talk about how to get "unstuck", how to deal with bosses of all kinds, and much more.
We also want to thank allnurses.com for being such a great resource for nurses. We talk about our real life involvement with the site, and hope to soon have some postings of our own there.
Go check it out - fall down the nursing rabbit hole with us.....from CNAs, to students to RNs to advanced degree nurses, they're all there talking things over.

Fan Mail Pt. 1: Confidence (or lack of), hospital beds, languages, and pulmonary toileting Oct 23, 2017

Show notes

First, we got fan mail! Tabitha reached out to us with a few topics she wanted to hear us tallk about, and we sure as hell did. Two hours worth! You get one hour this week and one hour next week, so don't go anywhere.
Also, we recorded this episode on the fly while Andrew was travelling - he was awesome enough to go to the big box store and buy a headset at 5am so we could do this.
That said - be kind, the audio quality at times reflects the fact that we pulled this ish together before the sun was up. Sorry for the pops and crackles, but like I've said before, this is real life, y'all.
Listen in as we talk about a million things from confidence (or lack of), beds, languages, pulmonary toileting, and lots of stuff in between.
Come back next week for part 2!

In the second part of this long, middle-of-the-night convo between Adrianne and Andrew, they pick up where they left off, addressing the cliff-hanger from episode 10. They also talk about nurses who are ill, finding natural talents and knowing boundaries. Adrianne may or may not have almost been struck by a train at some point during this recording.

TravCon, Germs and Tangents Pt 1 Oct 02, 2017

Show notes

We're going to go ahead and use the cliche "better late than never" on this one.
We took a week off, and good thing, because all sorts of stuff happened. We talk about a lot of it, but mostly we stick to Andrew's adventures at TravCon a couple weeks ago and the horrific illness that he got as payback for having such a good time there.
And it wouldn't be an episode of Med Room Chronicles if we didn't do the jitterbug in and out of a ton of random, unrelated topics. Stick around for all of this epic convo - and don't worry - we edited out all Andrew's coughs and maybe a couple cough-farts - you'll never know for sure.

Night Shift Brain Fog Sep 18, 2017

Show notes

"But you only work three days a week...."
A phrase that infuriates any nurse, but especially night shifters.
Andrew and Adrianne are both caught in The Fog as they record this episode about The Fog itself, series of intoxication-like symptoms that occur after working several nights in a row. They also go on a tangent about hourly rounding and bed alarms, and Andrew confesses his lack of trust in a certain group of people.
