So fun and informative to listen too, thank you Kati!
I’ve been binge listening to Kati’s episodes like it’s Netflix! As a hospital pharmacist, who has worked alongside critical care nurses, these episodes have given me a greater appreciation for nurses overall as I have a front row seat to listen to your experiences, understand your viewpoints and develop professionally with you. Great podcast!
Katie combines science, nursing wisdom, and practical sense. She inserts humor appropriately and is a stern nurse role model at other times.
I’m a month into my accelerated BSN program and I am not exaggerating I have learned more from this podcast than my nutrition and patho classes combined. I love breaking up studying and going for a walk and listening to this. They don’t teach you a lot of this in school! I love the topics and you are v relatable. Thank you !!!
Kari,
A friend referenced your neuro content that she finds helpful in her work. When I read watched you, I found I was already subscribed to your podcast. Small world! I love your topics and believe there is so much we need to do to help the newest nurses.
I’ve just listened to your walking ICU episode- fascinating. I have worked in oncology for many years. Your guest shed light on the patient experience I never would have considered as a nurse outside critical care. I learned so much! more
