This emotionally charged episode was originally recorded in early 2017 regarding the death of a patient Adrianne had known for years.

This is a monologue about coping with death as a nurse. It is emotional, so be warned that this will pull at your heartstrings.

In this episode, we get back to my conversation with Dan DiMonte, travel-nurse-turned-per-diem-nurse, about loads of things. We topic-hop and touch on Dan's desire for roots, staffing ratios and union issues, premium healthcare, and poisoning the well during patient report.

This week we dive back into Adrianne’s marathon call with her good friend and travel nurse Lindsay Dingbaum. Since they can get their gab on like pros, they covered a LOT of information like...

-The multifaceted nature of a nurse's emotions
-Advice for new travelers
-Narcotics and end-of-life-care: a nurse's discomfort
-Dealing with undesirable assignments
-Getting used to a new place as a traveler
-Designer scrubs (yes, they go there again)

...and a million other little things on their minds. 

Adrianne takes a serious moment to reflect on her decision to attend the funeral of a patient. It is a first for her, despite her early-career decision not to ever attend such an event. 

Listen to this unedited personal commentary. 

In this episode of Nursing Uncensored, Adrianne and Brad share their opinions on everything from handling online friend requests from patients to representing the profession honorably by setting personal boundaries on the web.

Additionally, Adrianne recognizes that she is an insignificant speck in the universe and Brad recounts some dumb moves he's seen nurses make on social media.
