In Episode 4 of The ER Edit, we talk about the things we wish we knew before becoming nurses. From feeling completely unprepared as new grads to realizing how much you actually learn on the job, we break down what nursing school teaches you and what it doesn’t. We also talk about student debt, ADN vs BSN, calling doctors for the first time, and the mental load that comes with working in healthcare. This episode is honest, a little funny, and something we wish we had heard before starting our nursing careers. — — — — — — — — — — LISTEN TO THE ER EDITSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ab8DoFQ3hTyQvIE69O2YR?si=fea43e1cda3140f0Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-er-edit/id1884089840YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theERedit FOLLOW THE ER EDITTikTok: @theEReditInstagram: @theERedit_ CONNECT WITH THE HOSTSCaitlin Armstrong: https://www.tiktok.com/@caitarmstrongrn_Karlie Tooley: https://www.tiktok.com/@ktooley89Business inquiries: theeredit@gmail.com — — — — — — — — — — The views and opinions expressed in this episode are those of Caitlin Armstrong and Karlie Tooley and do not represent the views, policies, or positions of their current or former employers, hospitals, healthcare organizations, or any affiliated institutions.
