New Nurse Podcast

     This podcast for new nurses, specifically ICU nurses, provides a fantastic source of first-hand experiences covering topics such as spinal precautions, IV bags, and death in the ICU. You can download these podcast episodes, or stream them from iTunes or the website directly. Each podcast is free. This is a no-nonsense podcast, sometimes covering some morbid and touchy topics, but it is refreshing to hear about what really goes on in hospitals and emergency rooms.

     Patient death is a grim reality when you are a nurse. The podcast "Death in the ICU" discusses how to deal with expected and unexpected deaths in the ICU, how to break the news to the family, and how to personally handle being in the presence of death. I highly suggest listening to these podcasts, even if for entertainment purposes as they are very fascinating.
