このコンテンツについて

 At the Nurses’ Station Welcome to At the Nurses’ Station — the podcast where we dive into the unfiltered world of nursing beyond direct patient care. Hosted by Kelly and Sam, two experienced nurses with a lot to say (and maybe a few things to rant about), this is your place for honest conversations about the highs, lows, and everything in between. From the chaos of triage to the dark humor that gets us through a tough shift, we’re talking about the parts of nursing that don’t make it into the textbooks — workplace dynamics, cultural shifts, and the emotional toll of this profession. Whether you’re a new nurse figuring it all out, a seasoned pro wondering how you’re still standing, or just someone curious about what really happens behind the scenes, you’re in the right place. Expect real stories from the trenches, expert insights, and the kind of humor only nurses will understand. Grab your coffee (or wine — we don’t judge) and join us for some much-needed nurse therapy. 👉 New episodes every week. Subscribe and stay connected — because at the nurses’ station, no topic is off-limits.

    I Wanna Hold Your Hand
    2025/10/14

    Hey, Nurse Squad! 👋 This week's episode? Total gem. We roped in our rockstar pal Andie Daisley, certified Child Life Specialist extraordinaire, for laughs, life hacks, and low-key therapy sesh. Summer's fading (smoke + heat = grumpy town 😤), but our chat? Pure fire. Grab your iced latte (or EpiPen – more on that! 💉), and dive in.

    Summer Slump & Walgreens Woes: Real Talk Starter! ☀️😩

    End-of-summer blues? We're feelin' it. Smoke's choking us, heat's melting brains – full moon weirdness without the moon? Yikes.

    * Kelly's epic beef: Fought a Walgreens warrior over son's EpiPen (bee allergy drama 🐝). "Two weeks of nonsense? Fired! Never stepping foot again." (No ads here, folks. 🚫)

    * Weekend wins: Sam & Kelly teamed up – traumas, great crew, even schooled a sassy teen on mom respect. "Fun all around! 🎉"

    * Smoke squad: Heat making peeps squirrely? ER vibes confirm: Chaos incoming.

    Meet Andie: Kid Whisperer & Hospital MVP! 🧸❤️

    Andie's our guest glow-up: MA in Child Life (thesis on grief support? Deep!), BA in Human Services + psych/sociology minors. Since 2017, she's been slaying at our hospital – from ER to peds oncology, PICU, and even adult units for kiddo visits.

    * Role rundown: "Help kids/families cope with hospital hell. Play's the kid language! 🛝" Prep for procedures, diagnosis education, grief support – she's the advocate normalizing scary stuff.

    * Swing shift superstar: 12-hour hustles, solo after 5 PM. "Collaborative team – we cross-cover like pros!"

    Pro tip: Elevator pitches? Andie's got 'em. "Kids in uncharted territory? We're the guides." 🗺️

    Kid Coping Magic: From IV Drama to Grief Hugs! 💉😢

    Andie's wisdom bombs? Gold for any nurse/parent. Play heals, honesty rules, and teens? Handle with care (and sass checks).

    * Play power: "Universal kid lingo! ER's fast – no full sessions, but bubbles/iPads distract like bosses. 🎈" Normalize the wild: "This is scary – let's chat at your level."

    * Procedure prep: Age-tailored truths. Toddlers? "Cold & squeezy!" Teens? Full deets. "No surprises – builds trust. 🤝"

    * Grief guru: Sibling support post-loss? "Memory boxes, books, honest talks. 'Mom's body stopped working.'" (Heart-wrenching but healing. 💔➡️❤️)

    * Family fails: Parents blocking prep? "Step out if needed – kid's calm > your panic." Siblings? Include 'em safely.

    Bonus: Andy's "zone of proximal development" flex – pushing just enough for growth. "First cardio version? Nailed it. Now I know!" ⚡

    Rapid-Fire Fun: Tapeworms, Taxes & Trauma Thrills! 🐛💸🚨

    We hit Andy with the silly Qs – laughs ensued!

    * Illegal but should be legal?

    * Legal but should be illegal?

    * Fave ER scenario?

    * Tapeworm tolerate?

  • Crunch WARS!

    Crunch WARS!
    2025/09/30

    Crunch Wars: Hippie Hacks vs. Nurse Real Talk! 🌿💉😂

    Hey, Nurse Fam! 👋 Sam & Kelly here from At The Nurses Station – your chaotic escape pod for nursing gossip, zero patient drama, and a side of "wait, you do WHAT?!" vibes. This week's ep? Pure gold. We dove headfirst into Crunch Wars: that epic clash between crunchy granola life (think essential oils & moon phases) and our no-BS ER reality. Spoiler: We agree on 20%, disagree on 80%, and laugh through 100%. 😆

    Woke up grumpy. (Guilty – diet changes got me feral. Sam? Marshmallow fluff to the rescue. 🍬) But by the end, we were cackling. Grab your kombucha (or IV fluids ☕💉), and let's unpack the madness. Bullet points incoming – because who has time for paragraphs?

    What Even IS "Crunchy"? Granola Goals or Hippie Hype? 🌱✨

    We hashed the def: Liberal, eco-warrior, off-grid vibes with a side-eye to mainstream. (Mildly shady tone? Guilty. 😏) Sam's 70s hippie dreams (homeschooling FTW!); Kelly's modern "MAGA? Nah, MAHA – Make America Healthy Again!" (Health over politics? We stan.)

    * Sam's crunchy cred: Farm eggs, homemade bread, rendered tallow. "No million-acre farm? Canned beans it is. Realist mode activated! 🥫"

    * Kelly's vibe: Whole30 warrior – ditched sugar, felt amazing. "Pimples? Swollen rings? Blame the processed comeback. No bugs for dinner, tho. 🚫🐛"

    * Overlap alert: Both have healthy distrust of the government trust. (But pro-hospital births – NICU horror stories sealed that. 🚨❤️)

    Dream world: Zero processed. Reality: Kids eat dyes. We're winning at not eating bugs. High-five! ✋

    Crunch Wars Battle Royale: Thumbs Up or Hard Pass? ⚔️

    We sparred on the wild stuff. No punches pulled – just popcorn. 🍿

    * Chiropractors 🦴

    * Processed/Organic Obsession 🥦

    * Acupuncture/Reflexology 🪡

    * Red Dye Hyperactivity 🔴

    * Homeopathics/Essentials 🧴

    * Butter & Fats 🧈: Pro-natural!

    * Lotions/Deos/Sunscreen ☀️

    * Home Births 👶: Hospital or bust!

    Polarization peak: "If you're breathing, body heals!" Nah – RIP to trauma victims. Reality check, crunchy podcasters. 🙄

    Superstitions, Intuition & Moon Magic: ER Witchcraft? 🌕🔮

    Nursing's got vibes. We spill:

    * Superstitions 🐱‍👤:

    * Intuition/Psychic? 👻: Yes to gut feels.

    * Leeches/Bot Flies 🦠:

    Rapid-Fire Fun: Cele Crushes, Hype Tunes & Dream Dinners! 🎤🍽️

    End on highs – because we're volatile, not volatile-only. ⚡

    * First Cele Crush 💕: Atreyu (NeverEnding Story) + JTT. "Horse death? Hug therapy needed. Artax vibes forever. 🐎😢"

    * Hype Song on Entry 🎶: Sam: "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" (Spin Doctors – sassy AF). Kelly: "Bad B***h O'Clock" (Lizzo – thick 30 energy! "I've been through a lot, but I'm still flirty. Do-do-do! 💃")

    * Dream Instant Meal 🥩: Kelly: Ribeye (medium-rare grill magic), twice-baked potato, asparagus. Sam: Broccoli rice cheese casserole, Ritz-cracker chicken, lima beans. "Grandma's Divinity? Sentimental slay. 🧀🍗"

    Wrap-Up: Who's Winning Crunch Wars? You Decide! 🏆

    We survived (mood upgraded – fluff forgiven 🍬), but vaccines? Tabled for friendship's sake. 😂 Big Q: What's your crunchy hill to die on? Red dye ban? Moon rituals? Spill in comments – we read 'em all! 👇

    Loved this? Smash subscribe, share with your squad, and join us next week for more nurse chaos. Seat saved at the station! 🪑✨
