I Will Always Remember You (My Journey Part V)
Description
Welcome to The Nursing Podcast, where we dive deep into the real-life experiences of being a nurse. I'm Jon Haws, RN, founder of Nursing.com, and today, we continue my journey—picking up from landing my first ICU job.
In this episode, I share the raw realities of my 13-week neuro ICU internship at a Level 1 trauma hospital, from my first nerve-wracking shift to the heartbreaking cases that shaped my career. I reflect on the profound impact nurses have, including a moment I'll never forget—when a grieving mother hugged me and said, "I will always remember you."
I also discuss the challenges and rewards of precepting new nurses, the chaos of ICU life, and the lessons that stuck with me over the years. Join me as I break down what it truly means to provide comfort and care in a patient's most vulnerable moments. Let's get started!
Happy Nursing!
