Emergency Entrance

This week we are joined by Kirsten, a nurse born and raised from South Africa. We discuss life and nursing in South Africa, "typical" patients that are seen, overdoses (or lack of), and Kirsten shares so many interesting and hilarious stories including a DAT that will make you cringe. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/katieapril/message

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?
