Hey, brain stuff listeners. Today, instead of a normal episode, we have for you another preview

of the podcast on the job. Now, if you missed the first one, we've teamed up with on the job

to bring you a few samples of what they do, which is engaged with professionals from all kinds

of businesses about what they do, from running a gig economy business to cleaning up the streets,

literally. Through these stories, the team tries to help explain and explore different aspects of

what working means in our world today. They're sponsoring us to run these samples. I think it's

although if you want to hear more or explore their previous six seasons, you can find on the job

from express employment services wherever you get your podcasts. Oddly enough, and this is going

she's a critical care transport nurse at a large pediatric hospital in Philadelphia.

But Asia's version of critical care transport nursing is quite unique because she's what's

referred to in her line of work as a flight nurse. Yeah, so a flight nurse is someone who essentially

goes and picks up patients in aircraft that can either be a helicopter, it could be a fixed wing,

or any of those kind of vehicles that fly. In honor of International Nurse's Day,

I spoke with Asia about her job as a flight nurse, while she fell in love with such a risky career,

and how she balances the demands of such an intense job with motherhood and everything else she's

got going on in life. And if you've never heard of flight nursing, you're not alone,
