Drunk or Delirious?

We talk about the next gen NCLEX and what to expect when taking the test and how she studied. We also talked about her negative experience during her clinicals with a preceptor who had the "nurses eat their young" mentality. We are so proud of you Katie and can't wait to see all that you accomplish in the nursing field!

We talk all things pediatric nursing, what it's like being a male in a female dominated profession, nightshift life and the true meaning of drunk or delirious, going to nursing school during COVID, and of course...the dreaded NCLEX. Kash opens up about taking the NCLEX multiple times before passing and has tips for anyone in nursing school or studying for the NCLEX now.

In this episode, we discuss the trial of Lucy Letby. Lucy was a NICU nurse in London, who was arrested in 2018 for murdering 7 infants and the attempted murder of 10 other infants. We discuss the details of the accusations and the trial that we are aware of so far, and our thoughts as NICU nurses.
