Night Shift Myths: Throwback Episode ft. Andrew Craig
Nursing Uncensored addThis episode is taking us back to August of 2017 when Nursing Uncensored was still called Med Room Chronicles: Nursing Uncensored. This episode was lost in the cloud til recently. So Adrianne polished it up and is presenting it here for your amusement.
Andrew and Adrianne talk about common myths held about nurses working the night shift. Night nurses can’t help but cringe when folks say to us “you must love how quiet night shift is, with all the patients sleeping”. Um, not exactly.
This episode lays out some 3rd shift truths - but make no mistake, we love our staff on all shifts - we can’t do this without each other.
Listeners beware, this was recorded via phone while Andrew was speeding down a Midwestern Interstate. The quality is not what we’ve grown into here at Nursing Uncensored, but this conversation was so good, it couldn’t be lost in a vault forever.

Dan DiMonte: The Kitchen Table Sessions @ NUHQ: Pt. 1
Nursing Uncensored addAn old pal of the show, nurse and touring multi-instrumentalist Dan DiMonte stepped into the Nursing Uncensored Headquarters for a little kitchen-table-chat and a cocktail or two. In this very long, late-night conversation, we covered so much - too much for one episode.
In part one, we tackle a listener question about how Dan maintains relationships of all sorts while on the road - both from the nurse and musician's perspectives. We talk about what it means to 'catch up' with old friends who follow our every move online, the amount of effort various relationships require, and the similarities between nursing and improvisational jazz.
If you know us, no topic is off limits and no segue is too much of a stretch.

Nursing Uncensored addDorothy returns once for her 4th Nursing Uncensored Appearance! Actually, this is the second half of our hours-long discussion. You heard the first half in the episode, Dorothy the Medical Examiner Investigator Returns.
In this episode, her and I break down palliative care vs hospice.
We discuss what they are and the differences between the two, work on dispelling myths and explain benefits.
We also talk about the American relationship, or lack of, with death. We venture into what death looks like and how family members can be involved in the care provided at end-of-life.
Dorothy gives us a book recommendation on the topic of America and the development of the funeral industry: The American Way of Death by Jessica Mitford (not sponsored).
We do a PSA for Advanced Directives - if you're an adult with a beating heart, you need one.
We talk about end-of-life cultural considerations in the hospital, as well as briefly dip our toes into the topic of Death with Dignity and human euthanasia.
If that isn't enough, I'm sure there is more we've forgotten to list here.
Enjoy your journey into getting more familiar with one of the few things that unite us all, death.
