It's An ED RN
I've been an RN since 2011; I've worked in med/surg, ICU, as a nurse manager, then back to bedside in the Emergency Department (which is when I started this show), until recently when I left the hospital to teach nursing at a University. No matter where you are in your nursing career, there's something here for you. I'm your host, an ED RN and I hope you'll stick around to listen.
