- What I’ve been missing!!
I can’t tell you how long I’ve been looking for something like this podcast. I have been out of practice for years, doing CE’s to keep my license active, and desperately searching for practical information that actually informs the fundamentals and beyond. I am headed back to the hospital and this is easing my nerves. Thank you for your work here and I hope it continues for a long time.

United Statesa month ago - Slight correction
I started listening to this podcast when I was in nursing school and never stopped! At this point, I’ve been an ICU nurse for four years. I appreciate being able to brush up on a wide variety of topics, since I work in such a specialized field (the Burn ICU). Having said this, I have a slight correction for Nurse Mo. recently the burn episode was re-aired, along with a new burn pod-quiz. Both had the same (very common) error that I wanted to point out to make sure your listeners aren’t overestim... more
Apple Podcasts5Burn ICU GirlieUnited Statesa month ago - Slightly poor taste
I appreciate the valuable clinical content in this nursing podcast, particularly the discussion on pain scales and drug-seeking behavior. However, one example given about a patient eating fried chicken and laughing came across as culturally insensitive and in poor taste. I think a more neutral, individualized example would help avoid reinforcing stereotypes and ensure that all listeners feel respected.
Apple Podcasts2sleays great dealsUnited States4 months ago - New BSN grad here!
Nurse Mo has helped me so much throughout my entire BSN program! I read the Nursing School Thrive Guide in 2022 before I started my program in January of 2023 and listened to her Podcasts immediately after finishing the book and realizing she also had a podcast! Even my 7 year old daughter has learned from Nurse Mo (her favorite is the flash card podcasts). I got my BSN on December 13 and was even on the Dean’s List. ❤️ Recently accepted a job on a trauma/neuro unit as an RN and I am so thankful... more

Nurse Mo, I can’t thank you enough for your podcasts on all things nursing, as well as your articles, videos and online resources. I just graduated yesterday with a 4.0 in my ADN program, despite working and raising a family of 3 kids. Audio studying was a key component for me, and your voice was with me over countless hours of commutes, getting things done around the house and walking around the neighborhood. I’ve shared so many episodes with my cohort buddies that they know me as the “podcast ... more
