ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens on shift doesn't always stay on shift! In Episode 17 of Shift Happens, Nurse Millie and Nurse Tara discuss everything that happens inside the hospital that never makes it into the chart. If hospital walls could talk, they would tell you about the unspoken rules of the nurse's station, the unofficial hiding spots when you just need 60 seconds of silence, and the hilarious non-verbal conversations coworkers have behind their masks. In this episode, the hosts debut a brand new segment, "Rapid Response," and tackle the sticky situation of healthcare workers creating social media content on the job during "Code Trending." Plus, Millie shares a hilarious story about a patient sneaking in Popeye's chicken on a heart-healthy diet, and Tara shares a beautiful, emotional story about braiding a trauma patient's hair in the OR to preserve her dignity.
