Pull the Damn Alarm: E11
The Second Shift - Show Notes
Episode Overview
The episode opens at 7:15 a.m. in the ICU, with a red light flashing in room eight during a routine fire drill. What follows is a thirty-second hesitation before pulling the alarm, despite already knowing exactly what needs to happen. That pause becomes the frame for the episode’s central theme: permission.
The discussion covers why so many nurses wait for permission that was never really anyone else’s to give, whether the decision is leaving the bedside, saying no to a shift, or telling a manager the truth about the workload.
