Life as a STAT Nurse – An Interview with Retired Nurse Eileen Thompson

On today's show, I interview Eileen Thompson, a retired nurse with 43 years of experience! We discuss her incredible nursing career with candor and humor. She was a STAT nurse for last part of her nursing career, where she was regularly responding to in-house emergencies, helping nurses and physicians deliver the safest care possible and advocating for patients. She shares what she loved and what was hard about the role.

It was a real treat to catch up with Eileen as we worked side by side for many years.

Thank you so much for being on the show.

Stay Safe and Stay Sane,

Nicole
