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.

Pediatric Oncology Nurse, David Metzger, uses words like "laughter" and "joy" when describing a typical day caring for children battling cancer. And at the end of his shift, he carries new lessons home to his wife and his two healthy kids, with an enlightened perspective on fatherhood and life. David joins us to share stories of love, life, and loss, and to chat about his book (and podcast) Nurse Papa. Episode 51 opens with the guys catching up over a bit of a therapy session, which finds Adam venting about the constant bickering between his children. How can you diffuse the situation when literally anything you say elevates the emotion even more. When the therapy session comes to a close, the guys introduce David Metzger, R.N. to the conversation. David is a father of two, and a Pediatric Oncology Nurse at UCSF Beniof Children's Hospital in Oakland, CA where he cares for children with cancer. He also hosts a podcast and recently authored a book of the same name, “Nurse Papa,” which chronicles many experiences, stories, and lessons he has learned as a nurse and a father. They discuss topics including:•  The path that led David to pediatric cancer care•  The presence and importance of humor in his line of work•  The unique relationship between nurse and patient•  The shift between caring for sick children and fathering healthy ones•  How becoming a father better prepared David for his job•  And moreMarc shares an absolute “laugh riot” of a So That's a Thing Now which involves something called “pink sauce” before the guys close out the show in typical asinine fashion.Links:Nurse Papa (the book) on AmazonNurse Papa (the podcast) on AppleNurse Papa (official website)David Metzger (Instagram)Red Vault AudioCaspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeStuffed Animal

This week Tina is joined once again by fan-favorite David Metzger with the Nurse Papa podcast. Together they tell the not-so-Bonnie-and-Clyde story of a prison nurse from Tennessee who fell in love with a prisoner and proceeded to try to break him out with a plan that would leave a trail of destruction and heartache. The good nurse story is about a nurse in the United Kingdom who decided to give dogs who are dying a happy and comfortable place to live out the end of their lives.

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. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed creating it for you. Remember, Nurse Papa the book will be available from GenZ publishing on August 17, 2021. For more information, please visit www.nursepapathebook.com. To preorder the Kindle ebook version of Nurse Papa, click here. I appreciate your support.

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!

Once again Tina is joined by fan-favorite David with the popular podcast Nurse Papa. Together they tell the fascinating and perplexing story of Dr. Esther Wadley, an American physician accused of hiring a hitman to kill her husband. And you will want to stick around for the good nurse story this week as Tina interviews Captain Diane Carlson Evans, a combat nurse in the Vietnam War who realized there was no memorial for the woman who served in Vietnam and did something about it. You WON'T WANT TO MISS her courageous and riveting stories from the front lines of Vietnam! Please support our show by supporting our sponsors!

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!  

Welcome to the very first BONUS EPISODE of the Nurse Papa podcast in which I share an illuminating tale from the rarified confines of the hospital. In this story, I will relate the very cringe-worthy reality of my gigantic mouth which is out-matched only by the enormity of my unfiltered mind. Often, I find myself navigating situations in which I really have no idea what to say or what to do. Sometimes, there is no correct way forward, but there is most certainly an incorrect way forward. Please Enjoy! If you'd like to read this upcoming cringe-worthy story after you listen to it, visit the (No) regrets challenge at vocal.media and search for Awkward Words In An Elevator. When you do, please take a moment and give your old friend Nurse Papa a positive rating and a shout out! Nurse Papa thanks you.

The balance of powers are shifting in Nurse Papa's home. The natives (my kids) are restless. Make no mistake, a rebellion is certainly underway and the main point of contention is the cleanliness and order of our shared home. In this latest episode of Nurse Papa, I navigate the creative chaos of my children as they implore with every cell of their beings: Don't Mess With My Mess. In the latter part of this episode, Nurse Papa counsels a new dad on how to best embark on a plane for the first time with his new baby. It's called Let's Fly Away, Baby.

In this episode I am joined by David AKA "Nurse Papa" for a look at how this Captain runs his ship! Find out what a hard working nurse, author, podcaster, and family man has to do to get a little action in his own quarters. We also discuss his upcoming work " Nurse Pap the Book".

In this episode, Amie and Sara sit down with David Metzger, aka "Nurse Papa" to discuss life as a paediatric oncology nurse. How do you not take it home? How do you cope with seeing children so ill with small kids of your own? Is there a silver lining to working with these children? You have to listen to find out! He's writing a book and has a podcast called Nurse Papa! Follow Nurse Papa: https://www.nursepapathebook.com Instagram @nursepapathebook Twitter @nursepapa  

Does anybody truly remember what life was like before this pandemic? So much looks and feels so differently than before. We look different to each other too. In this latest episode of Nurse Papa, aptly called When We Thought We Knew Each Other, this reorientation of attitudes, emotions, and personalities hits home in a typical hilarious Nurse Papa fashion. Enjoy!

This podcast features David Metzger, RN who is a pediatric oncology nurse based out of Oakland, California. David has written a book entitled Nurse Papa that will be released in August and also runs a podcast by the same name.

In this very special episode, called A Slice Of Fatherhood, Nurse Papa admits to all his listeners the closely held secret that he sometimes goes a bit crazy. Before I had kids of my own, I foolishly considered myself somewhat of an expert in the hearts and minds of children and one uniquely equipped to never lose my cool, but I was ever so wrong. This sad fact came to fruition in a big way one day in a crowded Costco. 

I've come to regard my experience as a parent as one unceasing punchline. I never know what to expect, but I do usually expect it to be funny. In this fourth episode of the Nurse Papa podcast, called Meta Parenting, I discover once again that, when it comes to my children, the joke is usually on me and I am absolutely okay with that. Enjoy!

One of my greatest discoveries of parenthood has been that I often have very little control over the fate of my children. Often, the achievement of even their most basic milestone has little to do with my own actions. These same goals and aspirations may even achieve success despite my dubious parental moves. This great truth inspired this third episode of Nurse Papa called Corona, The Virus That Potty-Trained My Son. In the second half of the episode, I help a mama from Oakland, California navigate her son's newfound defiance in a segment called Clean Up Or Clear Out. I hope you enjoy it and learn a bit too.
