What happens when you put more than 130 years of nursing experience around one table?
In this special episode of *Banter at the Bedside*, Abby is joined by her Nana, who has over 70 years connected to the nursing profession, and her Aunt Jennifer, a pediatric nurse turned healthcare attorney and risk manager. Together with Kaleigh, they explore how nursing has evolved across three generations—from starched white uniforms, nursing caps, and handwritten charts to electronic medical records, advanced practice providers, telemedicine, and AI.
Along the way, they share unforgettable stories from tuberculosis sanitariums, refugee camps in Thailand, pediatric intensive care, and modern critical care. They also discuss what has remained constant through every era: compassion, patient advocacy, teaching, and the privilege of caring for others.
Whether you're a student nurse, seasoned clinician, or simply curious about the history of healthcare, this conversation is a reminder that while medicine constantly changes, the heart of nursing never does.
