Episode Synopsis

AJ (or Andre as I know him) is a good friend of mine from nursing school. AJ was one of the first people I reached out to when I had the idea to start this podcast, and this conversation was actually recorded in early November and served as a little trial/pilot episode of the podcast! AJ is an ICU nurse in New Jersey who was in the middle of his orientation when the pandemic's first wave hit. We have a great conversation about our nursing school experience and about his experience as a new ICU nurse during the pandemic. AJ taught me a lot during this phone call. He shared with me his experience in the world of nursing as a member of multiple intersectional communities, and also taught me about the world of the nursing instagram community! It was awesome to catch up with a good friend of mine and to hear about how things are going for him, and I think this is a conversation anyone could learn from.

AJ also has awesome educational, informative, and ~if I may say so myself~ inspiring content on his instagram, @ajthenurse.
