Welcome to Shift Happens, the podcast where the reality of healthcare meets unfiltered truth. Hosted by Nurse Millie and Nurse Tara, this show is the ultimate digital breakroom for medical professionals who are tired of the TV-perfect hospital stereotypes. From navigating the heavy, unfiltered realities of being Black in scrubs and battling systemic burnout, to laughing through the most chaotic "Against Medical Advice" patient stories, Millie and Tara say exactly what you are thinking during a 12-hour shift. Whether we are breaking down "The Chief Complaint," spilling "Nurse Confessions," or just venting about hospital politics, Shift Happens is here to remind you that you cannot survive this industry without your work besties. Clock in, grab your iced coffee, and join the shift.
