  • Pharmacist on your radar!

    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!

  • First Nursing podcast I regularly listened to

    Katie combines science, nursing wisdom, and practical sense. She inserts humor appropriately and is a stern nurse role model at other times.

  • So good

    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 !!!

  • Great topics

    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
