Danielle is riding solo this week as Jackie’s is having technically difficulties under the Tuscan sun. Fortunately, she’s joined by a dear friend, Christopher Romero, and the two reminisce on their days in the NICU. He talks about working on a Transport team and how it made him fall lout of love with nursing, then discusses his transition to CRNA school that made him rediscover his passion. He shares his favorite thing about CRNA school, and offers advice to anyone considering it. In light of the overturn of Roe v. Wade, Chris shares his strong desire to truly make a difference and provide pain management to people getting abortions, as well as members of the LGBTQ+ community wanting to undergo transition surgeries. While he feels like he’s in a country that never wanted him, he’s doing everything he can to support those around him.
