'the waiting room'

it's the story of the 'highland hospital' emergency room in oakland, california that serves a unique uninsured population.

trauma, routine care, surgery, everything comes through the emergency room doors at this hospital.

it's just plain great!

this hospital very much mirrors my experience currently serving the population at 'san francisco general hospital.'

fascinating patients, incredible stories, jaw dropping histories, and daily battles. 

gets me so pumped up to be a nurse for the rest of my life.

p.s. it will be out on netflix in the coming months!
