One minute she was the nurse—then she became the emergency. Today, Shenell RN of the All One Nurse podcast shares her story of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy that sent her into emergency surgery on shift — and the second ectopic pregnancy that followed just a year later.
We talk through the symptoms she felt that day, how methotrexate treatment impacted her recovery, and the range of symptoms that can make it hard to tell what’s really going on. Shenell also opens up about the emotional toll of pregnancy loss, her journey to have her rainbow baby, and how her experience gave her deeper insight into the kind of support patients really need.
This episode is a firsthand account of what compassionate care really looks like—and how nurses can better support patients during reproductive emergencies.

- The importance of self-care for nurses
- How her experience changed her approach to patient care

- Methotrexate treatment for her second ectopic pregnancy

Rapid response nurses don’t just handle codes — they help prevent them from happening. Contrary to popular belief, Rapid Response Nursing is not just sprinting from code blue the next and neither is ER nursing. While there are a lot of similarities between these two specialties in Nursing, there are a lot of differences too. In this episode, Aidan RN shares what it was like to transition from the fast-paced ER to the world of rapid response.
We discuss what sets rapid response apart, the mindset shifts that helped him make the switch, and break down cases where their quick action made all the difference — including a subdural hematoma caught just in time, a STEMI with an unusual presentation, and a patient whose only symptom was neck pain.
Whether you’re calling rapid response or considering the role yourself, don't miss this conversation on the skills and challenges that define rapid response nursing!
Topics discussed in this episode:
- Why transition from ER to rapid response?
- Differences between ER and rapid response nursing
- Case study: discovering a subdural hematoma
- The role of intuition in rapid response nursing
- Best practices to work with rapid response nurses
- Advice to nurses considering Rapid Response Nursing
