Rate Your Pain! ER Nursing Stories

The second part of the story of Charles Cullen who is one of the most notorious and scary serial killers of all time. We pick up when Charles has got a job at Somerset Medical Center and begins working with his friend Amy Loughren who will ultimately be instrumental in taking Charles down. Amy, you are the true hero of this story! Oh, and this week the audio is much better lol but not perfect because we are amateurs y'all! :) Enjoy!!

This week we have the first of a 2-parter on serial nurse killer Charles Cullen. 
Firstly, this is definitely amateur hour - Donelles audio is crap but we are rolling out this episode anyway because it is so interesting!
We will get our act together for the second part of the story of Charles Cullen next week. We promise!!

This week we touch on the horrible situation that many children face - child abuse or non-accidental injury. As emergency nurses we have seen far too much child abuse and have horrible stories to show for it. Reminder to all nurses - take care of yourselves and each other and utilize your EAP if you need it. We love you all!

The hills are alive with the sound of beeping alarms... Sarah and Donelle delve into the sounds of nursing this week - a zombie apocalypse, wailing, wheezes and stridors. Be sure to send us your stories to [email protected] and check out the website ernursingstories.com.

Pseudomonas, Fourniers, Empyema, C. Diff and many other things that make you go PHEW!! Smells in nursing are a part of the job and this week Donelle & Sarah do a terrible job trying to describe all things smelly. Whatever you do - do NOT google Fourniers gangrene... and definitely do not google Fourniers and Harvey Weinstein...
