Clock Out & Connect with Marc and Shantall

Marc asked Shantall one question. She started answering it — and stopped.Would you do it all over again?In the first episode of Clock Out and Connect, two CRNAs sit down and do what nobody in healthcare actually does: tell the truth about how they got here and what it cost.Shantall traces her path from the Dominican Republic to South Florida, to the Army, to Iraq, through nursing school, CRNA training, and a COVID ICU she never should have been pulled into. Marc takes you from Jamaica to bedside nursing, watching his grandmother recover from a stroke, through the ICU, and into anesthesia school — with a family depending on him the whole way.They talk about how they met, why this podcast needed to exist, and the one question that doesn’t get answered — not yet.Whether you work in healthcare, love someone who does, or you’ve ever wondered what’s actually happening on the other side of that OR door — this is where we stop sugarcoating it.Chapters0:00 Disclaimer + cold open0:20 Welcome to Clock Out and Connect1:00 Shantall’s story from the DR to the Army8:45 Marriage, moving, and finding nursing13:20 ICU life and choosing CRNA school16:45 COVID, school disruption, and making it through21:20 Marc’s story from Jamaica to nursing30:45 CRNA school, sacrifice, and big life moves37:00 How Marc and Shantall met42:20 Why this podcast exists + Off the Record intro#ClockOutAndConnect #CRNA #NurseAnesthesia #NursingPodcast #HealthcarePodcast #Anesthesia #CRNALife #NurseLife #HealthcareWorkers #BurnoutInHealthcare #WorkLifeBalance #ORLife #ICUNurse #WomenInHealthcare #MedicalPodcast✨ Connect with us:📧 Email: [email protected]🎥 YouTube: Clock Out and Connect📸 Instagram: @clockoutandconnectpodcast📘 Facebook: Clock Out and Connect Podcast💬 Got a story, question, or an Off the Record submission?
