Tay & Taylor Lautner: Your Nursing Questions Answered
Today’s episode has been a long time coming as girl Tay answers all of the Lemon Drops’ questions about her nursing career, a topic near and dear to her heart! But first, your two hosts answer some Citrus Got Real Q’s, one involving a surprising twist in childhood crushes. Then, in anticipation of Nurses Week, Taylor asks Tay about all things nursing, from her nursing school experience to coping mechanisms at the bedside to egos in the workplace. There’s no wonder why, in our healthcare system especially, nurses are facing burnout and struggling with mental health, and Tay is sharing her own experiences and giving advice to any healthcare professionals who may be facing similar struggles. Tay also shares a very exciting partnership with CeraVe and The Daisy Foundation in an effort to support all the extraordinary nurses out there.
