Talking Race, Gender and Nursing with Navy Corpsman, Kevin Gibson BSN, RN Nov 03, 2021

Show notes

SPECIAL ALERT: Adrianne is going to be in Nashville 11/20/21 at the NursesPodCon with some of your favorite nurse podcasters. Tik Tok phenom will be MCing a full day of live podcasts, CEUs, meet and greets, and whatever other shenanigans they can think up. In-person spots are VERY limited. Get your virtual or in-person tickets at goodnursebadnurse.com and go tell Adrianne hello!
--------
In this episode, Adrianne has a good, long talk with ICU nurse, Navy Corpsman, and podcaster (AKA The Boot Nurse) Kevin Gibson. And, boy, the places this talk goes.
Kevin shares his journey of completing nursing school while on active duty and all the successes and challenges a journey like that brings. From his grueling schedule to his training in combat surgery, he recounts all the details of how he made it through while accomplishing some cool sh!t along the way.
Kevin also opens up on the topic of being a Black man in a predominantly female profession, focusing on his different intersections of life - gender, race, and the experiences he's had. Kevin also imparts some sage advice for young Black men considering nursing themselves.
All of this is very serious important talk, but don't let that fool you. Kevin is a fun, lighthearted person and shares some great stories. A few stories were left out - like his battle with a scorpion in his garage, and dealing with the Jan Brady of nurses (for those of you old enough to get the reference).
If you want to hear the full, uncut interview with Kevin, you have to click over to The Nursing Uncensored Breakroom at Patreon.com/NUbreakroom.
