May 27, 2016 Episode 2: "I think I'll always feel like a nurse" - Cathy Kuhl, RN
Spoiler alert: I am NOT an expert audio technician. There's some bumps, but this episode is so worth listening to: “Nursing is such an all
pervasive thing when you’re there, you’re just—you’re doing everything you can
to take care of these people and it’s like being a waitress, and a mom, and a
dad, and a technical person, and CNA, and all different things like that rolled
into one.”

Just under 40 years of healthcare experience, Cathy regales us with her experiences from vulnerable to profound to lighthearted. She also showed me her spectacular St. Helen's garden!

April 14, 2016Episode 1 "Camp nursing is awesome" Marianne Rudd, RN
Episode 1 – “Camp nursing is awesome” I interview Marianne Rudd,
registered nurse with 36 years of experience. We discuss her broad experience in
home health and camp nursing, changes in nursing practice over time, the difficulties
of technology and patient documentation, and the greater rewards of working in healthcare.
· “I liked the community that I could see of
nurses and physicians and people working together. That is still vital with
healthcare, healthcare that’s working well.”
·
“I did wonder, do I have what it takes? The
answer is, most of the time.”
·
“It has made me realize that I’ve been blessed
to have learned from so many people.”
·
“It’s satisfying to be in peoples’ homes, be
part of their lives.”
·
“I’ve seen the pioneers of the West Coast and Oregon
change national trends.”
