Hey everyone I run a podcast called Just One Drink where we usually do one‑on‑one conversations, but I’m switching things up. I want to start featuring real stories from real people based on different topics.

For this episode, I’m collecting crazy, unforgettable, or “you wouldn’t believe this happened” stories from anyone who works in the medical field, nurses, EMTs, CNAs, techs, med students, ER staff, anyone with firsthand experience.

You can stay completely anonymous or share your name, whatever you’re comfortable with.

If you’ve got a story that still sticks with you, I’d love to hear it.

Hello,

I am a previous nursing student who had to drop out my last semester due to financial responsibilities and haven't returned. I am currently a certified paralegal working in a PI firm and considering going back to healthcare to escape desk work. I'm being paid 25hourly working 50 hours weekly. And honestly back at my healthcare career prior I really miss it all but being inpatient as a tech didn't pay well. I saw a course that actually pays you during it so I'm strongly considering it! Pros and cons?

Hello -

My nephew was recently accepted into a local EMT program. We had offered to pay for the program but he was given a full ride instead. How can I best support his education and/or career seeing how he won't need us to pay for the schooling anymore? I want to give him practical things that will support him long term in his career.

Sincerely,

The Proudest Aunt and Uncle
