When the alarms sound and the seconds stretch, it’s the acute care nurse who runs toward the chaos. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on one of the most intense roles in healthcare. What exactly does an acute care nurse do? How do you become one — in the UK or the US? What are the pay ranges, the skills, and the career paths?
Blending lived detail with observational comedy, we explore the reality of long shifts, ventilator alarms, vending-machine dinners, and the resilience it takes to hold a hospital together. Serious, inspiring, and just absurd enough to be true.
👉 Perfect for nursing students, career changers, or anyone who’s ever wondered who actually answers when every second counts.
