In this episode, Adrianne welcomes old pal and fellow nurse, Mikhayla Crawford, to discuss her experiences living as a person, student, and nurse with an invisible autoimmune illness. Many thanks to Mikhayla for sharing her deeply personal experiences with us, so that we might have a better idea how to be an ally to those nurses around us with chronic illness. In this episode they discuss things like: - Working during the holidays - Moving across the country as a new grad - Her diagnosis and first encounters with nurses - Surviving clinicals - Invisible illness and it's struggles - How to be an ally for nurses with chronic illness - Advice for nursing students with chronic illness and more.
