In this episode I talk about team dynamics. "Playing nice in the sandbox" means you don't have to like one another, but all team members will need to express mutual respect and accept each others contribution to the overall care of the patient.

Everything about nursing involves sacrifice. Everyone around you will make a sacrifice. You will make sacrifices almost daily. If you plan on having anything related to Nursing as part of your life, you might want to become friends with idea of sacrifice.

Nursing will change you. You will not be the person you were prior to becoming a Nurse. And as a Nurse you will evolve and change as you progress in your career. The Nurse you are at year one will not be the Nurse you are at year 5. Chang is inevitable.

I talk about "Sleep is optional' in the profession of Nursing. How little sleep we actually do get during the 'flip-flop' and some tips that might help you sleep when working the dreaded NOC shift.

In this episode of the podcast I experiment with how I'm recording my new podcast. I talk a little about the myth of being too old to enter the Nursing profession. There is no such thing as being too old. And it's never too late. Nursing is my 3rd career. I started in my 30's.

The first episode of my new Podcast, The Nurse NIche: All things Nursing. I ramble on about how I'm giving the world of podcasting a try.
