Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 5 ratings
  • Who knew nurses had something to say of political interest?

    I find this an interesting concept- experienced nurses talking political. It’s kind of like the intersection of politics, health stuff, and current events. So far seems non-partisan, but the hosts sound skeptical that American policy will be for the good of all. I’ll keep listening.
