    This Episode we are joined by Monique Jolicia aka "The Traveler!" We discuss the pros and cons of travel nursing, representing not only the hospital but more importantly representing her race while working, bear alerts or lack of, and much more! Monique blanks when asked "what's the craziest thing you've ever seen?" So naturally, April graciously substitutes the question with, "What's the strangest thing you've ever seen shoved into an orifice?"..... Any guesses?
