Welcome to, “When I Grow Up”. This podcast is about some well-known and some not-so-well-known careers that may be appealing to recent nursing school graduates or anyone who is interested in exploring opportunities in the nursing profession. While our original plan was to interview our guests face-to-face, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we resorted to recordings via Zoom to comply with social distancing. To that end, thank you in advance for overlooking the unexpected email dings, dogs barking, and other unplanned noises in the background.
