Listen "Episode 5: From Pandemic Nursing Student to Full-Time COVID Nurse, ADN vs BSN, & A CRAZY First Day with Mary, Part 1"

Episode Synopsis

This is a a special two part conversation with Mary, a new grad night shift COVID nurse. Mary, @maryeuline on instagram, is an incredibly compassionate, caring, and optimistic person. I had such a great time getting to know her that we actually talked for TWO HOURS! I wanted you guys to have the same amazing experience getting to know her as I did, so I broke this episode up into two parts. This week, we talk about her experience finishing nursing school during COVID, feeling unprepared to enter the professional clinical setting, ADN vs BSN, and her crazy first night off of orientation taking care of a COVID patient! For nursing students/newly licensed nurses looking to enter the profession, Mary and I talk a lot about the early stages of that transition, provide great insights and advice, and talk about how COVID may impact what the transition looks like for you. Stay tuned next week for part two, where we get into the REAL TEA of Mary's day-to-day experience being a 22-year-old COVID nurse, and the physical and emotional impacts of this experience on Mary's lifestyle and outlook.
