Episode 1!

In episode 1 of the Nurse Gwenny podcast, Nurse Gwenny and her husband Josh introduce themselves and explain that the Nurse Gwenny platform exists to help others realize their potential and pursue their dreams. Josh, who is not in healthcare, shares his background building a lawn and landscaping business and describes how he supports the platform by building the website and LMS, handling customer relations, editing, and converting their barn office into a studio. Gwenny outlines the podcast’s mix of clinically focused episodes and occasional soft-skill topics like leadership and de-escalation, previewing upcoming guests and themes drawn from ER and flight nursing. She shares what she loves about nursing, the patients she finds most challenging, how she decided to become a nurse after her brother’s injury, and the meaning of her mantra “just do the next right thing,” which guides both life and high-acuity transports. They close by encouraging listeners to reflect on something they’re proud of.
