Clock in with Nurse Millie and Nurse Tara for one of our most personal episodes yet. Today’s shift report is all about the phone calls that change your life in a matter of seconds.

We are sharing the exact moments that shaped our nursing careers and our lives outside the hospital. Tara details the joy of getting her CRNA school acceptance while pregnant, and the devastating call about losing her close friend and colleague. Millie opens up about the tragic loss of her 18-year-old brother, how hospice nurses inspired her path into gerontology, and the hilarious crossroads where she had to choose between accepting her nursing school spot or joining the cast of Bad Girls Club.

Plus, we are issuing our official "Treatment Plan" for dealing with grief, making peace with the people you love, and adapting when life flips upside down.
