episodes
Let’s talk about code status
On this episode Phil and I discuss patient code status – or lack there of. As nurses working with acutely ill patients we often find ourselves advocating for goals of care conversations. Join us as we explore our personal reflections on how and why we advocate for not only a signed MOST, but for the important conversations that determine the choice.
Let’s talk about workplace culture
A good workplace culture has many components. This week Phil and I chat about what we find effective in fostering positive workplaces and where we think there may be opportunities for improvement.
Let’s talk about international nursing
This week Phil and I are joined by Eleanor, an Irish trained RN. Eleanor spent several frustrating and expensive years pursuing her Canadian nursing registration. Although the system has reportedly improved this process, Eleanor’s story is one that will leave no doubt on why a change was needed.
Let’s talk about burnout
On this episode Phil and I chat about the mass exodus of nurses from the profession. We discuss the rapid burnout of new nurses and what we see as potential explanations. Redefining burnout from a mid and end career concern to a new nurse problem is worth further investigation as it leaves all of us working short.
Let’s get to know each other
This week Phil and I take some time to get to know each other a bit better as nurses. We dig a little deeper into the things we like, don’t like, and hope to never have to do again as nurses.
Let’s talk about becoming a nurse practitioner
This week Phil and I chat with Taran about her road to becoming a nurse practitioner. Taran shares all the helpful tips on pursuing the NP role as well as what a day in the life looks like. Join us as we get the inside scoop on becoming an NP.

Let’s Talk About the Intimate, but not Personal Role of a Nurse
In our final episode of Season 2, Phil and I have a cathartic conversation about the nurse role. Reflecting on the notion that nursing is both intimate, but also impersonal, we share stories and experiences of times where we needed to lean in and when we needed to take a step back. Join us as we allow ourselves to have an unscripted and genuine conversation about navigating the emotional and connected work that we do.
