Why is everyone so obsessed with nurses?

In the first episode of The ER Edit, ER nurses Caitlin Armstrong and Karlie Tooley introduce the podcast and talk about the fascination people have with nurses, the stereotypes surrounding the profession, and what life in the emergency department is really like.

They share their experiences as ER nurses and moms, discuss how social media helped spark the idea for this podcast, and unpack the difference between the glamorous version of healthcare people see online and the reality of working in emergency medicine.

Grab a coffee, take a breath, and clock in with us for the very first episode of The ER Edit.
