About this listen

 At the Nurses’ Station Welcome to At the Nurses’ Station — the podcast where we dive into the unfiltered world of nursing beyond direct patient care. Hosted by Kelly and Sam, two experienced nurses with a lot to say (and maybe a few things to rant about), this is your place for honest conversations about the highs, lows, and everything in between. From the chaos of triage to the dark humor that gets us through a tough shift, we’re talking about the parts of nursing that don’t make it into the textbooks — workplace dynamics, cultural shifts, and the emotional toll of this profession. Whether you’re a new nurse figuring it all out, a seasoned pro wondering how you’re still standing, or just someone curious about what really happens behind the scenes, you’re in the right place. Expect real stories from the trenches, expert insights, and the kind of humor only nurses will understand. Grab your coffee (or wine — we don’t judge) and join us for some much-needed nurse therapy. 👉 New episodes every week. Subscribe and stay connected — because at the nurses’ station, no topic is off-limits.
