Sometimes it’s good to spend your free time listening to someone who understands what it’s like to do what you do.

Not many people can relate to the long hours, demanding schedules, emotional days that come with being a nurse.

For nurses there are plenty of podcasts that don’t just talk about the trade but reveal some much needed humor and interesting storylines along the way. Here are 5 podcasts — available on Apple Podcast, Spotify and Google Podcast — that should be on every nurse’s list:

Crash Cart Cocktails

The Crash Cart Cocktails podcast was created by critical care RNs Sarah and Angela. Their podcast focuses on them navigating the world inside and outside the hospital. Nothing is off limits from family, personal experience, nursing traumas and more.

The Cellfie Show

This podcast gives a new meaning to being “off the clock.” Tori Meskin and Sam Manassero bring you the unfiltered side of the medical world. They talk about healthcare, self-care, and all the down and dirty in between.

Nursing Uncensored
