On TPR Podcast Presents, we bring you the very best from the Troy Public Radio podcast Catalogue.
Today’s selection comes from The Rounds, which is a podcast about nursing education where hosts Kait Nesbitt and Brooke Moseley gather stories from nurses on the front lines of our healthcare system.
But this episode is much bigger than just nursing education. Kait and Brooke are talking to Olivia Thurman, a nurse who previously worked in hematology and oncology, or HEMOC, at Children’s of Alabama.
Olivia’s daughter was born with a rare genetic condition that required a bone marrow transplant and caused her to spend months in the neonatal intensive care unit.
