This week on The Pulse Check Podcast we’re bringing you into the real side of nursing and real life. We’re sharing patient stories from the week that stuck with us, the moments that challenged us, and the ones that reminded us why we do this job. Then we shift into our current fitness goals, what we’re training for, how we’re staying consistent on night shift schedules, and what’s actually working for us right now.

This week on The Pulse Check Podcast, we sit down with Shawna Thomas—an experienced nurse of 20 years, a mom of four, and someone about to take on her next big challenge: starting NP school this fall.

We talk through her journey in nursing, how the profession has evolved over the years, and what it’s really like balancing a demanding career with raising a family. Shawna shares honest insight into the highs, the challenges, and the sacrifices that come with doing both.

We also get into what’s motivating her to go back to school, her goals for the future, and what keeps her grounded through it all.

If you’re in healthcare, thinking about advancing your career, or trying to figure out how to juggle it all without losing yourself in the process, this episode hits on all of it.

We’re breaking down the supplements we actually take every day and why they’ve earned a spot in our routine. From gut health to energy, recovery, hormones, and overall wellness, we’re talking through what works for us, what doesn’t, and how to be intentional with what you’re putting into your body.

No fluff, no gatekeeping, just real conversations about building a routine that supports your life, your goals, and your health.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s worth it and what’s just hype, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Pulse Check Podcast, Sarah and Sammy get real about the why behind the scrubs. 💉

They share the stories that brought them into nursing, the moments that shaped them, the doubts they didn’t see coming, and the experiences that made them stay when things got hard. From chaotic clinical days to the emotional highs and lows no one prepares you for, this episode is the unfiltered version of their journeys.

Listeners will hear laughter, vulnerability, and honest reflections on where they’ve been, who nursing is shaping them to be, and where they hope to go next.

For Sarah and Sammy, nursing is never just a job. It’s personal, messy, and meaningful.

Whether you’re in nursing, thinking about it, or just curious about what really happens beyond the bedside, this episode is a must-listen. 🫀

Welcome to the very first episode of The Pulse Check Podcast — where we go beyond the bedside.

In this kickoff episode, we’re introducing ourselves—Sarah and Sammy—not just as nurses, but as real people with stories, passions, and lives outside of scrubs. We dive into who we are, how we got into nursing, and what inspired us to start this podcast in the first place.

This episode sets the tone for everything to come: real talk about healthcare, unfiltered (and sometimes wild) nurse stories, and honest conversations about health, fitness, wellness, and life in and out of the hospital. We’re here to expand the conversation, challenge perspectives, and create a space where healthcare meets real life.

Whether you’re in the medical field or just curious about what really goes on behind the scenes, this is your inside look—and we’re just getting started.
