You know the ones we mean, where you're behind before you clock in, the call lights are non-stop and you may never get to pee again.

What are your secrets? Adrianne wants to hear your tips for keeping Zen when you know the 12-hours ahead of you are going to test your patience, endurance, and sanity.

Adrianne and Andrew are talking tattoos, marijuana, IV fluid shortages and body waxing in the first episode of 2018! Season 2 is guaranteed to be interesting and hilarious as MRC digs deeper into the minds of nurses. Join your favorite long-winded nurses for more stories, anecdotes and food for thought

Adrianne just got off work (for real) and she's emptying all 7 of her scrub pockets - and narrating it just for you. This wasn't the craziest of shifts, but she still has a fair amount of cargo.

Adrianne and Allison reconvene for part 2 of this marathon conversation that spans a wider-than-usual range of loosely related topics like:
*balancing school, work, and personal life
*a couple of poor academic choices r/t exhaustion
*hierarchies and power dynamics in healthcare
*how not to flunk out of nursing school
*the best app you'll ever download
*how Allison knew she was old

Listen in as we get really opinionated and passionate about basically everything.

Adrianne wakes Andrew up from deep sleep to make a list of things we love about our profession...you know, normal stuff.

We bet you won't guess some of the things on our list. No, this time we don't include spontaneous vacation time or patients that can clean their own behinds, but we think our selections rank at the top. This is just the first part of many as we attempt to balance out all the complaining we did in our 'Pet Peeves' episodes.

In this episode, Adrianne and Andrew glide through an amalgamation of topics including but not limited to:

*The inevitable waxing of Andrew's body at the hands of his new Facebook group, Traveler Talk
*The enormous commitment of content creation
*Sexy nurse Halloween costumes
*Snot-spray and sneeze etiquette
*Holidays in the hospital
*MRC Gratitude Check

Weeee'reeee back with part 2, answering a list of listener questions, but for the second half, we'll be doing things more rapid-fire style. Well, rapid-fire for us, which still makes for a long episode.

We talk about how to get "unstuck" from a job, how to deal with bosses of all kinds, and much more.

Listen in as we talk about a million things like confidence (or lack of), hospital beds, languages, pulmonary toileting, and lots of stuff in between.

Andrew and Adrianne are both caught in The Fog as they record this episode about The Fog itself, series of intoxication-like symptoms that occur after working several nights in a row. They also go on a tangent about hourly rounding and bed alarms, and Andrew confesses his lack of trust in a certain group of people.

In this episode, Adrianne chats with Dan DiMonte, who is both a nurse and a musician living in the temperate paradise of San Diego, CA. They delve into the ways music and nursing complement each other, how Dan almost lost his mind alone in the woods, the perils of dangerous hospitals, and the exciting details of Dan's upcoming Fall 2017 tour.

The Nursing Uncensored crew talks about what Nightshift Breakfast means to them and why it's such a right of passage for 3rd shifters. Adrianne explains to Andrew that "gravy was never sexy", there's talk of pop songs, snorting anti-lipemics (don't EVER do this), and then it all crashes to an end with a tale of Adrianne's first SICU float.

We present you with episode 05: Nursing Pet Peeves Volume 2. We suspect this might turn into a series because we're so damn good at coming up with new things to add to our list.

Debriefing. Venting. Complaining. Whatever you call it, it can be therapeutic when done right -without malice or destructiveness. When someone or something is driving a nurse crazy, just having a colleague listen to them freak out about it for a second can make it all feel better for awhile. That's just one way to deal with the mind-numbing stress of 12-hour shifts.

Nursing Uncensored is a podcast which launched in August of 2017. The show is intended to educate and entertain nurses, students and the public about the realities of living life as a bedside nurse. The show was originally created by Adrianne Behning, RN, with the help of her friends and fellow nurses Andrew Craig and Brad McLaughlin, who will pop in as co-hosts once in awhile. They hope to provide education, advocacy and laughter for nurses, students and allied health workers through the use of storytelling and experience-sharing.
