The Long Walk
Nurse Papa
10/01/21 • 13 min
School Is back? Oh My Gosh, our kids are now actually leaving the house to receive their education! In some ways, this return to normalcy is much more complicated than it has ever been before, but it is also a welcome return to my favorite moment of each day - the long walk.
Please don't forget to vote for my Dad Bod in the Legendary Dad Bod Competition. Your votes and donations to my svelte papa figure will help raise funds for the B+ foundation, the largest provider of financial assistance to families of kids with cancer. You can vote for me daily throughout the months of October and November to support this very worthy cause. Thanks so much!

Dear Listeners, Welcome back to Nurse Papa. Before we return to my regularly scheduled programming of the pitfalls and hijinks of parenting to young kids, I'd like to share one more chapter from my new book, Nurse Papa - 16 Meditations On Parenthood From A Pediatric Oncology Nurse.
I have to warn you once again that the subject matter of this episode might be triggering. These stories are not easy to share or to listen to, but listen you must. In this episode, called Don't Feel Like You Have To Fix Everything you will hear the story of a boy named Jason. It was the end of his unique journey which inspired me to write this book in the first place.

Nurse Papa

Welcome to this very special Father's Day edition of the Nurse Papa podcast. In this episode I reveal the slightly pathetic turn of events which helped me gain a more healthy perspective upon my role as a dad. It's hard not to harbor expectations for how we would like our lives to be. It is especially challenging to accept our limitations and failings as parents.

The Shelf Of Special Things
Nurse Papa
05/24/21 • 20 min
In this episode of Nurse Papa, called The Shelf of Special Things, I examine the way in which we all decide what is most special to us. All of us need and deserve a sacred and often secret space to guard the items which we most covet. Do you have one? Find out how this special space plays out in the Nurse Papa household. In the second half of this episode, I answer a letter from a concerned mama from Sebastopol, CA who is puzzled about how to get her three year old son to wash his damn hands in the era of the Corona Virus. It is called The Puzzle of Hand Washing. Enjoy!
Happy Mother's Day
Nurse Papa
04/30/21 • 15 min
Welcome to this very special Mother's Day edition of Nurse Papa the podcast. Today, I would like to celebrate every amazing mom out there who is simply rocking the often thankless job of parenting.
It’s a shame that our society so often down plays the contribution of all our awesome moms while at the same time, up playing the sometimes dubious contributions of the fathers. Let’s be honest, most dads would be utterly lost without the guidance of our wives and our mothers.
So, sit back and relax. Nurse Papa is about to get very real (and funny) about the state of modern motherhood. Enjoy!
