Episode 3 - Emergency Nursing Care
from The Passionate Pawedcast Hosted by Crystal Adamek
This week on The Passionate Pawedcast, we're in the emergency room. Joining us is Randi Freestone, RVT with 15 years of experience across emergency and critical care, who's spent the last decade thriving in one of the highest-stress corners of vet med. Randi breaks down what emergency nursing really looks like: triaging before the doctor even arrives, the misunderstood scope behind the word "technician," and why transparency with scared, advocating pet parents builds trust instead of slowing you down. We talk the emotional toll of the job, why taking care of yourself is non-negotiable after a 12-hour shift, and how staying "off the floor" mentally is never really the plan for a true ER lifer. Packed with hard-earned wisdom, a few laughs, and the reminder that this work is as fulfilling as it is relentless. Don't miss it!
