Nursing School: A Slim Experience

What this episode covers

The Slim and Thick W.C. Podcast is a space for those in the community. Join two black femmes as they unapologetically take up space to provide knowledge, resources, and dialogue on current important topics. From politics to Tik Tok, two sisters provide an inclusive space for community organizers and marginalized populations to gather for a moment in a space made for them. It's a labor of love from us to the community that we love to serve. Nursing can be described as both an art and a science; a heart and a mind. At its heart, lies a fundamental respect for human dignity and an intuition for a patient's needs. This is supported by the mind, in the form of rigorous core learning. Due to the vast range of specialisms and complex skills in the nursing profession, each nurse will have specific strengths, passions, and expertise. Slim has been pursuing her Nursing Degree for awhile now and we finally had time to sit down and talk to her about her experience in school. This interview has been a long time in the works and we are so excited to share her perspective going through Nursing School. I wanted these types of sit downs since I started our Career Series where our Career Guides for students are housed. So check out the interview and the website for all the content!  WE appreciate and extend heartfelt gratitude for all the workers, professionals, and students in our community who have been working so hard through this time of the Pandemic. WE also hope to provide support and let you know that we see you as well as all the struggles that have gone on this past year. Be it student debt and day-to-day grind of just trying to motivate yourself to get through another anxiety filled class to the parents/caregivers who shoulder on at work while juggling their own financial and mental health needs. WE see you and we appreciate you, here's to hoping that more support is garnered for all who desperately need it. Until then we will try to do what we can on our end. Thank you again.  8 mins - Slim's Mental Health Episode 14 mins - The Story 22 mins - The Cost of an Education 27 mins - Workplace Violence 37 mins - We Eat Our Young Visit the Website for more information and resources: slimandthickwcpodcast.com Like and Follow Us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/slimandthickpodcast/ Listen to us on Anchor: https://anchor.fm/slimthickwcpodcast
