No Really, I'm Fine
Healthcare is riddled with challenges: navigating complex social dynamics, competing economic interests and managing near impossible expectations. On a daily basis, this leads to stressful, even traumatic situations for those providing care. How do healthcare professionals cope with the emotional impact? Join Mike Larson and Aaron Metcalf as they explore their stories in this podcast, No Really, I'm Fine!
No Really, I'm Fine
Chelan Metcalf, RN "Violence in the Room"
This week we welcome the delightful and insightful Chelan Metcalf! Chelan is a nurse in on an acute med-surge floor and did her RN training in the thick of covid. She brings laughter and tears in this episode as she explores her unique (and deeply moving) call to this vocation and also explores an event of being assaulted while at work, as well as insight into the daily stresses of nursing. She also happens to be married to Co-Host Aaron Metcalf, but don't hold that against her! Thank you Chelan for your work, insight, and your courage in sharing some difficult situations.
Quick disclaimer: this episode does have a story of violence. Please do practice discretion in listening.
