Hold My Stethoscope
Hold My Stethoscope is where emergency room chaos meets real life resilience. Hosted by longtime ER nurses turned educators, Brittney and Felicia, this show brings you unfiltered stories from the trenches of emergency medicine, laugh-out-loud nurse humor, and the kind of dark comedy only healthcare workers truly understand.
But it’s more than just war stories. Felicia is also navigating her toughest diagnosis yet—pancreatic cancer—and she’s sharing that journey with the same honesty, strength, and sarcasm that carried her through countless night shifts.
Together, Brittney and Felicia tackle it all: from unforgettable ER moments and “did that really just happen?” patient encounters, to teaching pearls for nurses and raw conversations about life, illness, and finding joy in the chaos.
Whether you’re a nurse, healthcare worker, student, or just someone who loves real talk with a side of humor, this podcast will make you laugh, cry, and feel a little less alone.
