this episode is nothing short of chaotic, join me as we delve into the truly fascinating world of trauma and the diamond of death. learn how giving blood can actually worsen outcomes and how the body works oh so harmoniously to ensure you don't make it. (though, if you finished feeling more confused than enlightened, please let me know in the comments and i will work on fixing my explanation!)

continuing on from last episode we delve into 2 cases aptly named marcus and marcus #2 (sorry to all the marcuses out there) of pulseless limbs leading to code strokes. enjoy!

this string of words may be familiar to some keen listeners, but yes i have a new first arrest story, more involved than the last. but the only way to know how it went and what it was about is to listen! let me know if you relate or tell me if you've got stories of your own in the comments, i'd love to read them.

these last 10 months of postgrad have been eye-opening to say the least. join me as i discuss my experiences and feelings about postgrad. this is a very rough episode, think of it as a conversation between friends !

welcome to season 2. back to the rougher, more personal type of recording as i go through the last hurdle on my journey to CCRN, triage. now i have unlocked all aspects of emergency and can work everywhere. though i am still a newbie and still have loads to learn, but today we go through the basics of triage.

today we discuss the mental health and wellbeing act 2022. everything that surrounds it that is pertinent to emergency nursing.

i also provide my view on privacy (or lack thereof) of some while in crisis. if you listen and have any questions, don't agree or have your own experience you'd like to share please comment below or shoot me and email if you'd like to remain anonymous. i'd love to engage in discussion on experiences and what we can do to make it a better experience for patients.

thank you for listening and mostly thank you for having an open mind.

welcome to my miniseries inside my main series - it will focus on mental health from an emergency perspective.

i am not a mental health nurse, i am definitely not an expert in this field. mental health nursing scope of practice as an ED nurse is incredibly small.

but today we discuss a recent code black and how parkinsons disease can impact mental state, cause psychosis and affect quality of life. we also discuss the differences and similarities between psychosis and delirium.

a long title i know, i was trying to be clever guys! today we go away (but not for long) from the lungs and enter diabetes man (aptly named after asthma man and flu man). we talk all things diabetes, type one, type two and their complications dka and hhs. i realised i did not finish my funny story adjacent to my main story so i'll just tell you now. we triaged the wrong twin! and we only realised because the patient confirmed we had the wrong twin! please if you listen through comment and give me some feedback, i'd love to hear from you all and figure out what i can do for you to make this a better listening and learning experience. enjoy!

The flu is a killer this year, no joke. today we discuss a young man that caught the flu, got extremely sick, needed to be intubated and ended up on ECMO. We talk the basics of intubation and how we monitor, and provide ongoing care as well as what is ECMO, how it works and why we do it. Lots of good stuff we talk about today, tune in and I'd always love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments too.

let's talk all things asthma and NIV. what is NIV you ask? well listen and find out! when you find out be sure to let me know what you think NIV stands for and what it is in your own words.
