Feeding Our Young
Encouragement for today's student nurse... and life lessons for the rest of us!
Have you ever heard the phrase “nurses eat their young?” Feeding Our Young® is more than a podcast – it’s a movement. It’s a desire to see new nurses of all ages be supported and uplifted by their peers.
Join the movement! COME and hear host Eric Miller's vision for a radical culture change - in nursing, healthcare, and elsewhere; then STAY for a stable of all-star nursing students, nurses, and nurse educators!
They might make you LAUGH...
they might make you CRY...
but they will all definitely make you THINK...
and be ENCOURAGED!
