Like, is that something that you struggled with?

Yeah, I'll say, Josh, that working as a nurse, it's one of the few fields that can really humble you.

I spent a lot of my time with people at their lowest part of their life and doing things that would be seen as like, you know, a dirtier job.

And having been in those situations and looking around me and being like, I'm caring for this person at their most vulnerable moment,

it's never made me feel too above anyone.

It's always made me realize that we're all on this together.

Yeah, yeah.

Because I'll tell you right now, just, you know, nurse to potential patient, right?

I'm like, I'm bad about going to the doctor, and I think it's because in hospitals, there's a lot missing of what you do.

Do you know what I mean?

When you go to the hospital, when you go to the emergency room or something, it's like you already have your own fears.

When I've had to go to the emergency room, sometimes I'm genuinely afraid that the nurse, the doctor's gonna be like, that's new.

I don't know what that is.

But at the same time, I think if someone, you know, was sitting with me and they were not just necessarily even ask me questions about myself, they were asking me interesting questions, thoughtful questions, and they were getting to know me as as a person.

I think I wouldn't even notice the shot.

I think I might be like, oh, but like it's in the middle of telling them about my life or something.

Yeah, that's the part of nursing that I fell in love with.

The first time I ever shadowed a nurse.

Obviously, she did medicine, and she took care of the patient in that aspect, but really, she healed them through her words.

Like, she made the patient feel comfortable in an otherwise very uncomfortable setting.
