What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m been a BSN, RN for 8 years and still find Nurse Melanie’s show helpful. I like her explanations and gives me hints for other ways to educate patients. I like the med reviews because I don’t see certain meds in my specialty, they are great reviews. Thanks you for the podcast, I wish I had your show when I was in nursing school 😊

GreenbeeBSNRN · Aug 2025

This is a wonderful podcast that shares important information in a fun and concise way. I am enjoying it as a soon-to-be nursing student in 2026 to get ahead of the curb, while enhancing my CNA knowledge now. Thank you for sharing!

Elizabeth98020 · Jul 2025

As a second semester nursing student, I’m so grateful for this podcast. I feel like I’ve been thrown into so much in nursing school and it feels impossible to keep things organized and keep up with it all. This podcast is so helpful! (Listen to the episode for head-to-toe assessment FOR SURE)

jessi alvey · May 2025

This show does a great job of explaining a lot of information at a measured pace, with quizzes that make you pay attention. The highest recommendation I can give it came from watching The Pitt (a realistic ER show on HBO MAX). After listening to most of the clinical casts, combined with EMT level knowledge, I was able to grasp most of the Dr conversations. The one drawback is that of the roughly ~50 episodes, only about half are actually clinical. The rest are about studying or being a nurse. They are interesting but won’t help you pass the NCLEX.
