Derailed (ft. April’s Cat)

This week we are joined by Kirsten, a nurse born and raised from South Africa. We discuss life and nursing in South Africa, "typical" patients that are seen, overdoses (or lack of), and Kirsten shares so many interesting and hilarious stories including a DAT that will make you cringe. 

This Episode we are joined by Monique Jolicia aka "The Traveler!" We discuss the pros and cons of travel nursing, representing not only the hospital but more importantly representing her race while working, bear alerts or lack of, and much more! Monique blanks when asked "what's the craziest thing you've ever seen?" So naturally, April graciously substitutes the question with, "What's the strangest thing you've ever seen shoved into an orifice?"..... Any guesses?  For your guide to travel nursing and to see Monique's COVID journey documented, subscribe to Monique Jolicia on YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/TheTravelNurse  Visit our website and write in to us to be featured!  Https://emergencyentrance.wordpress.com 

This episode we are joined by Sarah, who started as a new grad in the ER and now has 5 years under her belt (and proved that by dropping some absolute knowledge BOMBS on us.) **Disclaimer** We cover some heavy topics including death, coping with patient death, trauma, and breaking down the barrier of being "emotionless." With that.. we of course share some or a lot of laughs, "and I quotes," and Sarah exposes her own DAT.  Visit our new website: Https://emergencyentrance.wordpress.com 

This week we have some..... interesting (to say the absolute least).. "and I quotes". Then we are joined by Kenny from the new podcast "The Coach and Caveman Show," for an amazing conversation on his Covid experience that will have you feeling all of the feels. Although some topics are hard to face/hear/talk about, it is the transparent truth.  Check out "The Coach and Caveman Show" here https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-coach-and-caveman-show/id1545067912

This week we introduce a new segment called “And I quote” where you get to put your imagination skills to “good” use. Katie may or may not have gotten kicked out of a FB group and most importantly we are joined by Eric, BSN, RN, Paramedic, CCRN, CFRN, CEN and he is a flight nurse (aka bada**!)

We may be sleep deprived but we’re back! This week we try and recall the blur of the last 2 weeks, April gives a titty update and confesses her life hack of letter writing.

This Valentines week we take a dip into our “creative” sides and become poets. We are joined by Shannon, an amazing ER nurse who shares great stories & experiences.

This week April doesn’t leave anyone in the dark while explaining why KT was solo last episode and doesn’t hold back on the “C” word. All love, support, and good energy is welcomed & greatly appreciated this week and the weeks to come! All & all... a giant middle finger up to the “Titty Committee”.

From sticking your head under the bathroom sink to arm-barring pt’s... The train this week is slightly off of the rails.

This week take a slight dive into the dark side (night shift) but are joined by Samantha who is a NICU nurse but also a NICU mom she shares amazing insight on life as a NICU nurse but also a NICU mom... & we may or may not be back with DAT we did this week!
