How each of us practices medicine is uniquely shaped by our experiences. Christine, a nurse practitioner as well as former EMT & Army medic, speaks with medical professionals from all specializations across the globe about the stories that have influenced how they practice medicine. Paramedics, nurses, doctors, & more recount tales that range from funny to wild to profoundly moving, but no matter the role, culture, or country, all are working to make humanity better any way they can.

People who are drawn to healthcare tend to be amazingly compassionate, resilient, and hardworking, but the path each of us takes to our goals can vary just as much as the types of careers that exist in medicine.
Registered Nurse, Robin, candidly shares how her prior jobs as an exotic dancer & stripper taught her valuable skills that translate unbelievably well to MedSurg nursing and the ICU. After all, dealing with drunk men at a strip club is not much different than handling a combative GSW patient and their rowdy family members; only the shoes are a bit more comfortable.

Christine chats with Eliza, an American nurse living in the United Kingdom, about the differences between US healthcare and the National Health Service. While there may not be nurse practitioners, as much gun violence, or health insurance woes the heart of nursing stays the same. However, you may want to choose your words carefully, a common term in American English just might be embarrassing British slang.
