Welcome back to At The Nurses’ Station, the podcast for nurses about everything except the patients 🩺✨

In this episode, Kelly and Sam fully embrace the realization that they are… not young anymore. And honestly? That’s kind of the point.

This conversation bounces from early internet nostalgia and T9 texting, to working Thanksgiving shifts, to inventing the greatest holiday tradition healthcare has ever seen: Trash Giving. Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like. Fast food, queso, candy salad, and zero guilt.

From there, things go exactly where you’d expect nurses to go: Facebook scams, online dating horror stories, and the humbling realization that technology has moved on without asking our permission.

The heart of this episode is an honest, funny look at how technology has changed nursing. From Voceras and medication pumps to the skills we used to rely on daily, we talk about what tech makes easier, what it makes worse, and what it might be quietly taking away.

It’s funny. It’s a little unhinged. It’s incredibly relatable if you’ve ever counted drip rates, worked a holiday, or realized you trust coworkers way more than the internet.
