It took me a while to find such a great podcast like this one! I love all of the tips and guests they bring onto their recordings. Don’t skip if you are interesting in nursing or if you are a current nurse.

I have tried listening to so many podcasts for nursing students but nothing is better than this one. I miss it so much!!! Hands down my absolute favorite.

I could NOT have found Kristen and Maddie at a better time. Beginning my own nursing journey is coming with trials and bouts of imposter syndrome, but these two superheroes help to set my mind at ease. Their genuine demeanor make me feel like I’m chit chatting with girlfriends while being educated, and intrigued by all things nursing. Thank you for the wonderful environment and continuous encouragement that you bring to the field💖

You ladies are so much fun to listen too! I’m headed to nursing school in the spring so I’ve been listening in to your podcast the last week & I absolutely love it!! Appreciate all the tips and tricks you put out💗

I’m not even a nurse but I love that this podcast is for the nurses out there! I know and work with a lot of nurses so I have so much appreciation for what they do. I recommended this podcast to the nurses that I know❤️

Hi! You all are lovely! I have a BA in Psych. I’m a military spouse and momma of a 2yr old. My hubby is deploying this fall for a year. I just got accepted to a paid CNA training program and I’m starting my pre-reqs for nursing school 2023, in august! I hope to work/do school/mom life as gracefully and healthfully as I can and these podcasts have been so enlightening and encouraging! THANK YOU Heather

I graduated a year ago and went straight into home health for some reason and have missed bedside and woke up every day wondering if I made a mistake and was missing out on my skills and furthering my education. I definitely learned a lot working in home health, tons of wound care, relationships, miles on my car, and charting to Medicare standards but I’m ready for more. I just accepted a night shift job on a med surg ICU and I am excited but oh so nervous and listening to the experiences and tips and do this not that, take this chance, mistakes, wisdom, etc has helped me relax so much about it and I can’t wait to start and to learn more and more!! I feel like I can already relate to so much from past experiences and other nurses stories too! Keep them coming!

Thank you for shedding light on real life on nursing for the newest nurses out there! I find that your conversations and interviews give nurses an idea on how life is in the early years of nursing. Nurses need to know the real world of nursing and need to know that they are not alone.

First off, I find this an excellent podcasts and I am a weekly listener. The hosts pick relevant topics, and have a raw energy that keeps the listener excited, engaged, and interested. For me, it is building my courage to make a big career change AND educate me on the field so I can hit the treadmill running! There are two things I think could be opportunities to improve (which I love this podcast, I recommend it to others, and want to see it continue to be successful! The first is the hosts need to be more mindful they aren’t talking over one another. I love the raw energy in the conversations, and allowing each other to finish their ideas will help the listener follow the conversation better without distraction. The second would be, as the audience of this podcast is geared towards newbies (me), it would be valuable to break down the acronyms and jargon a little more. For example, in the episode discussing the top 5 items the hosts couldn’t work without, a reference is made to a “3 part” (?) stethoscope. I think this could be a valuable tip, and would be an excellent educational opportunity to educate the audience on what that means. When the hosts discussed the different personality types per department, a lot of jargon is used, but as a new nursing student I don’t yet know what the difference between a “floor nurse”, and “charge nurse”, and several of the acronyms used. I’m optimist that once I’m in the field more it will feel more like second nature, but for now it can be difficult to follow without that background.

Y’all, this podcast is amazing!! Maddi and Kristen are so real, and talk about everything from general life to specific advice and topics regarding nursing! I am hopefully going to start my program this year and when I want to listen to a nursing podcast, this is one of my go-tos! The one they just put out about living in the moment and not being consumed by where you want to be next, an absolute slap in the face (in a good way 😂)! It was exactly what I had needed the other day. Kristen and Maddi, keep it going!! 💜💜

I graduated two years ago with a bachelors in marketing and I’ve decided to go back for nursing and I’m so excited! It’s obviously a little overwhelming and scary and this podcast is so great at giving so much wonderful information!! These two girls sound like literal angels and they’re so comforting and motivating and make nursing sound not as scary!

I’m in my second semester of my ADN program and THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE podcast EVER! The positive energy, to the point, fun chit chat of everything nursing lights the fire in me as a future nurse! ♥️

I just discovered this podcast and I love it! It’s so refreshing to hear other nurses talk about all things nursing and to relate so much! Currently 1 year into nursing with hopes to move on to a Neuro ICU. You ladies inspire me, keep it up :)

I just my first nursing job a little over a month ago and have had a hard time finding balance, filling my cup, and have felt so overwhelmed. I started listening to this podcast and my feelings have been validated and I have realized I am not alone in how I feel. I have learned so much from these two and can’t wait to keep listening! :)

I just started listening to these two ladies and they are so awesome & informative! I’ll be entering nursing school in 2022 & I’m so glad I found these ladies to give me some great insight! Drea from NC

I love this podcast so much. I am about to start nursing school and I feel like from listening to the show these girls have become like a blend of 2 mentors and good friends to me. I am a former pre school teacher turned CNA and pre nursing student, and everything they have to say gives me something new to think about! Thank you both for creating such a wonderful show and spreading your knowledge and positivity!

Love every single episode of this podcast! Listening to Kristen and Maddi it feels like you are listening in to a conversation in the break room, or between two friends after a really fun, an exciting, or an extra exhausting shift. They give so much value in a way that feels like friends encouraging you! They cover everything that goes into the life of a nurse, truly living up to their name! Couldn’t recommend this podcast more!

I love this podcast. I can relate to Maddie and Kristin as young woman and new nurse. I love the topics and feel like these chicks are my friends. Also, some of the topics are therapeutic just listening too-like the covid and death episode (I cried). Can’t hype this up enough.

Really, this is awesome for any nurse, but I can only speak for myself. Everything they talk about is so relatable and makes you feel less alone. Love listening to it on my way to work. I even get to learn new things and it’s always great to get different points of views. Good job ladies!

My absolute FAVORITE healthcare podcast. So real and helpful!

This podcast is seriously amazing. I love hearing the inside life of nurses as a nursing student. These women are truly amazing and do a great job with explaining how a nurses schedule plays out. I loved the episode about nursing/doctor communication and relationships! They hit topics that I’m always curious about!

This podcast is perfect for working RNs and student nurses alike. This podcast is kind of like talking to super supportive nursing friends who really get what it’s like to be a nurse.

So excited to hear that there will be a season 2! You ladies are really helping so many nursing students and nurses. Thank you

Absolutely loving Season 2 so far!! The integration of guest speakers (so informative and inspiring) has been awesome! Highly recommend!

Kristen and Maddi give listeners an inside look at the world of nursing while providing useful knowledge about the profession. They are so enjoyable to listen to and the podcast is a great blend of factual information and emotional insight. As a nursing student, I get so much out of each episode. Thanks guys! Keep the episodes coming!

I look forward to the new episodes each week. As a nursing student and current healthcare worker, I love being able to relate to what Kristen and Maddi are saying. I even requested a topic and they literally made an entire episode about it!! Definitely tune in :)

I start nursing school in September and this podcast has already helped me so much! Each episode breaks down its respective topic in a way that eases my anxiety and makes me look forward to continuing the grind towards being a nurse. Honest and relatable, Kristen and Maddi work so well together as hosts!

I love listening to this podcast on my way to work or on my way to clinical! I graduate nursing school in May these past episodes have helped me a bunch!

Nursing student here. I have been following both of these ladies for awhile now and am HOOKED on this podcast! Can’t wait for more episodes ahead!

Kristen and Maddi bring so much knowledge to new nurses. I feel like I am right there part of their conversation! Looking forward to future episodes to come!

I am a new nurse and found your podcast. Listening to your voices is so soothing on my drive to work. Podcast makes me feel like I’m part of the conversation!

They go over the same thoughts and feelings a lot of new nurse grads have once done with nursing school. Love it! Highly recommend!

New nurse here getting my footing in the profession, all the things they talk about are things that we all experience/experienced coming out of school. Great talking points and content overall though, excited to see more of these in the future.

This is the podcast every nursing student and nurse has been waiting for! I’m enjoying listening so much and I can’t wait for more episodes. Keep up the great work, ladies!

Loving this podcast so far! I’m in my final year of nursing school and love hearing what these 2 have to say.

RUN, don’t walk to this podcast! Their positive energy is infectious and their experience + knowledge in nursing is deep. You won’t be disappointed! :)

I’m studying for my NCLEX at this very moment, and this podcast made me feel calm and comfortable and like I was listening to friends! Thank you! I’m so excited for more episodes!!

This is just the type of podcast I’ve been looking for as I start my last semester of nursing school!! So happy to have found you via Barbara @yournursingeducator Looking forward to upcoming shows! 👩🏼‍⚕️

Maddi and Kristen have so much insight and it feels like I’m in on their conversation! Love love love!
