Episode Hospital Superstitions ER Nurses Actually Believe | The ER Edit Ep. 14

0:00 42:56

This episode is all about the hospital superstitions and spooky ER stories nurses swear are real. We talk full moons, never saying quiet, deaths and traumas coming in threes, haunted hospital rooms, weird call lights, near death experiences, and the nurse gut feelings that make you stop and pay attention.

It gets funny, creepy, and a little heavy in the way only ER conversations can. Caitlin Armstrong and Karlie Tooley also get into patient safety, unsafe encounters, prisoners in the ER, and why nurse intuition is not something to ignore.
