Special Note from Adrianne

March 25, 2024

You guys……it’s season 10. Can you believe it?

Now, if you're an OG listener, welcome back, my fellow bedside buddies! And if you're new here, welcome and hold on tight. I'm Adrianne, an eight-year veteran in the nursing trenches, your resident truth-teller, and the fearless solo producer of this show for the past seven years. Yep, you heard that right – seven years of talking to tons of nurses, some doctors, students, and a bunch of other awesome people in the healthcare universe.

Now, you might be wondering where I've been. Well, y’all, I took a little hiatus – a nurse's gotta refill that cup and sometimes it takes a while? I'm back, and I've got a stethoscope full of fresh, exciting content just for you.

This season, we're shining the spotlight on some of the most intriguing nurses out there. These are the unsung heroes with stories that will leave you inspired, amazed, and maybe a little bit incredulous. We're also diving headfirst into those topics that might be whispered in the break room but rarely spoken about openly in the nursing community.

Get ready for conversations that peel back the layers of our profession – the good, the challenging, and the downright absurd.

We're not holding anything back because here at Nursing Uncensored, we believe in keeping it real.

So, whether you're a seasoned nurse, a nursing student, or just nursing a curiosity about the world of scrubs and stethoscopes, this is your space. Let's laugh together, learn together, and, most importantly, let's lift each other up.I'm thrilled to have you along for the ride, and I promise, this season is going to be like nothing you've heard before. Welcome to Nursing Uncensored – where the scrubs are real, the stories are uncensored, and the laughter is the best medicine.
