With Love, From South Africa

"The Traveler"

This Episode we are joined by Monique Jolicia aka "The Traveler!" We discuss the pros and cons of travel nursing, representing not only the hospital but more importantly representing her race while working, bear alerts or lack of, and much more! Monique blanks when asked "what's the craziest thing you've ever seen?" So naturally, April graciously substitutes the question with, "What's the strangest thing you've ever seen shoved into an orifice?"..... Any guesses? For your guide to travel nursing...

This episode we are joined by Sarah, who started as a new grad in the ER and now has 5 years under her belt (and proved that by dropping some absolute knowledge BOMBS on us.) **Disclaimer** We cover some heavy topics including death, coping with patient death, trauma, and breaking down the barrier of being "emotionless."
