How two decades in print journalism prepared me for a second career in patient care. In this episode, I trace the line between a newsroom deadline and a call light — both demand the same thing: show up, pay attention, and don't leave until the story (or the shift) is actually finished.
We talk about the skills that transferred without translation — interviewing, note-taking, staying calm when everyone else in the room isn't — and the ones I had to learn from scratch, like how to sit with someone in silence instead of filling it with a question.
If you've ever wondered whether a career change means starting over, this one's for you.
