We are so excited to catch up with Laura for the 8th episode of the podcast. We got together to chat about nursing medical outpatients, massive scary medicine exams, having panic attacks in airports, being creative in the veterinary industry and much more! Laura also produced an amazing guide to nursing the patient with chronic disease that is available on our blog https://bit.ly/33iuF3L.
