On today's episode I catch up with my old nursing school friend, Susan Collins. She is a firefighter turned nurse and has over a decade of experience working at a Level One Trauma Center in the Trauma Intensive Care Unit. She now holds her Masters in Nursing and is the Magnet Program Coordinator.

On this episode, Susan talks about the importance of storytelling in nursing, what "Trauma Season" means and a hit parade of the top summer activities to avoid based on her experience. To be fair - I asked her to tell us....

This episode is full of dark humor - a coping mechanism for those of us that see the worst of the worst.

Susan eloquently talks about how we often have "ghosts" that linger with us and how to cope amidst the darkness.

This is a very special episode. I hope you enjoy it!
