032 Cry Baby!!

Nursing school taught you how to pass a test. This job teaches you how to survive a shift.In this episode, we’re talking about what hits new nurses the hardest—time management, prioritization, and realizing very quickly that not everything is as “by the book” as you were led to believe.We break down how to actually decide who comes first when everyone feels urgent, why task lists fall apart the second the shift starts, and how real-world nursing forces you to think fast, adapt faster, and sometimes just pick a direction and commit.We also get into the disconnect—what school teaches vs. what the floor demands—and how older nurses were trained in a completely different environment that didn’t come with PowerPoints and test strategies… just pressure and repetition.This isn’t about doing everything right. It’s about doing the right things first… most of the time.Because nobody warns you— you don’t learn how to be a nurse until you already are one.Leave us a message!! We want to hear from you!!! Thanks again for listening to us!

No hazards. No plan. Just confidence and a license they got yesterday.This week we’re talking about teenage driving—the boldness, the chaos, and the absolutely unearned belief that nothing bad will happen… right before it does.From “I didn’t see them” to “I thought I could make it” to decisions that defy both logic and physics—we’re breaking down the crashes, close calls, and moments that make you question how any of us survived learning to drive.Speed? Optional. Awareness? Debatable. Consequences? Immediate.Leave us a message!! We want to hear from you!!! Thanks again for listening to us!

Somewhere between “they’ll grow out of it” and “should we call animal control”… there are feral children.This week, we’re talking about the tiny humans who skipped manners, fear, and basic social norms—and chose violence, chaos, and absolute audacity instead.From public meltdowns that could qualify as extreme sports… to parents who’ve clearly accepted their fate… to the moments that make you question if kids are okay (they’re not)… we break down the wild, the unfiltered, and the completely unhinged reality of feral kid behavior.No structure. No reasoning. Just vibes and destruction.If you’ve ever witnessed a child do something so bold it felt illegal—this one’s for you.🎙️ Unhinged Essentials And we did this for money?Leave us a message!!

New voice, same level of questionable decision-making.With my cohost still on hiatus, we’ve got a fresh perspective stepping in—and somehow we immediately end up talking about Chinese food, things you absolutely should not be finding in it, and why eating in the ED is always a gamble.Somewhere along the way, we also get into being trapped in an elevator… because of course we do.It’s a mix of food opinions, mild trauma, and the kind of conversations that spiral way faster than expected.Welcome back to Unhinged Essentials. Nothing is under control.Leave us a message!! We want to hear from you!!! Thanks again for listening to us!

GI bleeds, mystery substances, and the kind of conversations that should probably never happen out loud… but here we are.This episode takes a hard left into the disgusting side of healthcare—where smells don’t lie, gloves are doing their best, and sometimes you learn way too much about what people have been eating.From poop under the nails (yes, we went there) to food preferences that will absolutely ruin your appetite, this one is not for the weak. Or the currently eating.You’ve been warned.Leave us a message!! We want to hear from you!!! Thanks again for listening to us!
