If nursing has taught me anything, it’s that people experience you based on their pain, fear, and stress. It’s not you, is them. So take the compliments with humility and the insults with grace.
To the ED preceptors: You train in the fire. You teach in the storm. You don’t just guide but also mentor. You throw new nurses into the deep end and make sure they swim.
Thanks for showing the next generation what it really takes to survive in the ED, own the room, and save lives. You’re not just mentors, you’re nurse leaders.
Just a quick hello after a long work week I hope you’re doing well. Stay tuned for more podcasts coming soon.

NEW EPISODE ALERT FOR HNTKYP:
In this episode, Kevin and Dr. Wolf delve into a critical but often underestimated condition: alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS).
