In this week's episode, I sit down with Danielle, a 12 year ICU RN, and discuss her decision not to get the COVID-19 vaccine and the consequence: her unethical termination. Danielle goes into passionate detail of her right to decide what goes into her body. We also trail off-topic (this is our norm) and discuss issues with workplace violence, employee retention, pay disparities, and how we've handled unruly residents. This is a great episode to honor people who fight for their right to self-determination! #stayunapologetic  -----------------------------------------------   Follow our social media for up to date posts about what is happening in the nursing world, fun NSFW nursing memes, and what Nurse Rob does with all his new found free time!

In this episode, I give the host reigns over to one of my closest friends to interview me about how I came into healthcare  and some of my experience and views of the current state of healthcare (Gen Z nurses, unionization, compact licensing, etc).  We also get a little glimpse of healthcare from a lay person's perspective and concerns. This is a raw and unedited conversation, definitely NSFW!  Ignore intro music snafus, still working on using the new Rode Procaster. -----------------------------------------------  IG: theunapologeticrnpodcast  FB: The Unapologetic RN  Twitter: RNunapologetic  E-mail: [email protected] ----------------------------------------------- Copyright-free music in this episode is found in the YouTube Audio Library: Free Me (Instrumental) - NEFFEX.
