On episode 473 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews nurse author Joe Downing, RN, BSN, MBA, a gifted storyteller whose deeply moving and extremely entertaining book, Wiping A$$ in a Rolex: Stories and Lessons from a Mid-Career Transition to Nursing, documents the author's reflections and experiences in transitioning from a decades-long career in the automobile industry to a new career in healthcare and nursing.
In the course of their conversation, Keith and Joe dive deep into Joe's life, his personal philosophy, and patient anecdotes that illuminate many profound aspects of the human condition in the 21st century, including suffering, privilege, and death and dying.
