In this episode, Michelle and Ekemini are sitting at the table with Shelly McLean. Shelly is a Registered Nurse who has been in practice for 7 years. She is a Certified Medical Surgical Nurse with a diverse background in various medical specialties, but is currently practicing full-time at one of the largest emergency rooms in NYC. Shelly also works part-time at a smaller emergency room in the suburbs of New Jersey. She was recently accepted to SUNY Downstate Medical Center's Family Nurse Practitioner program, where she will begin her pursuit of a Masters degree in nursing beginning this fall.
