This week Tina is joined by Nurse Jehr at the Tennessee Student Nurses Association Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. Tina opens the show with a short message to nursing students about what they are going to encounter as they transition into new grads. Then Tina and Jeht tell the story of Dr. William Husel, a doctor from Ohio who has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of homicide after prescribing large doses of narcotics for patients being placed on comfort care. They close the show by talking about advocating for the nursing profession and what we can all do to get involved in improving this noble profession.
