In this episode, Adrianne chats with Vanessa Peck, a Pediatric Cannabis Nurse in Vermont. We’re here to talk about the promise and potential of treating life-altering and life-limiting childhood conditions with the very controversial, very versatile cannabis plant. Open your mind and desire to learn as you listen to this conversation about the world of Cannabis for Kids.

In this episode, Adrianne dives into what it takes to be a CRNA with a nurse who's done it, Jenny Finnell. This episode covers all the down and dirty of becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, you know, one of the angels who keep us asleep during surgery and other procedures.

In this final installment of Adrianne’s marathon chat with flight nurse and author, Robert P Harris, they are

on a roll. Despite heading into hour three, there is no shortage of things to talk about.

It’s time for part 2 of Adrianne’s conversation with Robert Harris, flight nurse and author of the book, The Flight Nurse Bible: A Field Guide to Awesomeness. This is hour two of their nearly four-hour conversation.

Renee is a substance abuse and psychiatric nurse who works for her state’s mental health department overseeing individuals in the community. She has an interesting story, as you can gather from the title of this episode.

This week Adrianne wakes her friend, night nurse and Doctor of Nursing Practice, Nurse Lo from her slumber to bring you the dish on the DNP life. They cover a lot of ground including the trajectory of Lo's career from LPN straight through to DNP with no breaks. She also talks about what it's like to do it all as a mom. 

This week you're dropping in on the conversation Adrianne had with her old pal Lindsay, a traveling nurse and cool human that she can literally talk to for hours and hours on end. They cover many topics in this episode including how Lindsay caught the travel bug, weighing the pros and cons of different contracts and locations, her adventure dog, licensing for travelers, and getting tricked into wiping butts of patients who really can do it themselves.

In this episode, Adrianne is joined by nurse and medical examiner investigator, Dorothy. She's lived a very interesting nursing life so far and has such great perspective on being an advocate for all patients. Dorothy is going to tell us all about her days in the Operating Room, home hospice and how she goes about investigating the deaths of people all over her county. NSFW but, boy, is this interesting.
