Nursing Uncensored
Nursing Uncensored features candid conversations with nurses about topics that range from educational to explicit, from scholarly to scatological. NU will make you laugh, make you think, and might even make you blush with our bold opinions and dark humor. At the core of our mission is the education, advocacy, and empowerment of nurses and students. We believe in creating a space that uplifts and supports all individuals, highlighting what makes them unique and interesting. We honor HIPAA but are NSFW, so listen responsibly.
