“Hi, who’s on the line?” Nurse Talk radio show co-host Casey Hobbs, RN, asks with an up-for-anything tone in her voice. A caller named Mary Ellen describes “very swollen legs from my groin down to my toes.” “Oh my God, death is imminent for you,” co-host Maggie McDermott, RN, deadpans in her Irish brogue. “Now Magster, let’s not start right like that,” Casey chides.

Casey Hobbs, Host and Co-Creator of Nurse Talk

Novato, CA (PRWEB) November 19, 2009 — America’s most beloved profession—the Registered Nurse—finally has a radio home, run by and for the nation’s 2 million+ registered nurses. Nurse Talk, where “laughter is the best medicine,” launched nationally last month with the intent to peel the surgical mask off the nursing world.

Currently airing on the radio in California, Nurse Talk is now available on the Internet as a podcast and streaming audio on several sites. You can hear it at nursetalksite.com.

Despite the comic exchange, Mary Ellen ultimately leaves the air armed with some authentic healthcare advice. Nurse Talk delivers the goods with heart, humanity and laughter.

Nurse Talk is building its national/international audience and is seeking radio stations across the country to air their unique show. Casey says, “in addition to promoting good health and education, Nurse Talk’s goal is to make nursing more visible.
