“I first found out about him in college when he put out funny music videos about the hospital. But he’s also got a great platform for talking about current events and problems faced by healthcare. One of my favorite episodes talks about what DNR means and how hard it can be for patients and individuals to keep those documents on file across multiple systems and their wishes understood. In this case, his guest on the show had come up with a solution to the problem. So not only do they talk about current events, but they talk about possible solutions in some cases, the ethics behind things we do, or don’t do. But he’s got creative names like the Incident Report or Morning Roundz does lots of interviews and for the most part, is pretty unfiltered about it all which I like.” — Ethan, RN BSN
The Murse’s Station
A podcast by one of our very own TNAA Ambassadors! Felino, now a flight nurse, chats with his former ICU coworker and fellow murse about all things nursing. It’s candid, clever, and full of all the dark humor nurses will immediately identify with. You can expect to hear about whiteboard rants, feel-good patient stories, and of course, feces — or as they put it, “some disgusting sh**!”
