   Vital Signs of a Nurse Friendship w/ Addison

   Grab your coffee (or post-shift snack) and hang out with us 🩺✨ In this episode, Addison and I catch up on life lately—from what’s been happening at the bedside to what it’s really like juggling nursing careers and social media content creation. We react to Reddit threads and listener submissions, share stories from the hospital world, and talk honestly about the healthcare industry, boundaries, and the weird overlap between being a healthcare worker and being online. It’s part vent session, part storytelling, and part “wait…that happened to you too?” Laugh with us, cringe with us, and join the chat as we unpack nursing, the internet, and everything in between. You’re not alone—pull up a chair and let’s talk. Follow us on Social: The Guest: @theofficialaddison The Pod: @friends.and.enemas The Host: @scrubhacks

But unless they staffed full time sitters for every patient that was not fully alert and oriented and even some of them. They're not always going to call you. Especially on the stroke unit, you've got a bunch of these 40, 50-year-old men who were fully active running marathons the day before, and now they're dependent on everybody for everything, and they hate it.
