Rate Your Pain! ER Nursing Stories

This week we touch on the horrible situation that many children face - child abuse or non-accidental injury. As emergency nurses we have seen far too much child abuse and have horrible stories to show for it. Reminder to all nurses - take care of yourselves and each other and utilize your EAP if you need it. We love you all!

Recording from San Antonio and Nashville, Donelle & Sarah take you on a journey of all things cardiac. We talk about our favorite rhythms, pre-cordial thumps, and other interesting heart stuff. Donelle forgot her pop blocker so the audio is amateur lol but we try. We are nurses, not audio engineers!

Sarah bravely tackled dodgy internet service to bring stories from behavioral health patients and Donelle has some very interesting self-harm stories. **Warning** this episode deals with mental health issues and suicide.

After a short hiatus due to life and other things, Donelle & Sarah are back with some pretty cool stories about fractures, dislocations and all things broken.
