Forget what you see on TV—welcome to the real world of nursing.

Clock in with Nurse Millie and Nurse Tara as they tackle one of the most ironic truths in healthcare: Nurses rarely follow their own medical advice. We spend our 12-hour shifts telling patients to rest, hydrate, and take it easy, while we navigate nonstop call lights and pure hospital chaos running on zero sleep.

Today, we are talking about what really happens on and off the shift, including why healthcare workers make the absolute worst patients and which of our own "golden rules" we break the most.

The charge nurse is already looking for us, so hit play and join the shift!
