<p>In this week's episode of the First Case "Articles On-The-Go" series, written by Brenna Page, MSN, RN, CNOR, CNAMB, she shares what it was like to be on the other side of the stretcher and the perspective that she gained as a recent surgical patient. </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"I was recently a patient myself. I was already familiar with the facility, and the staff was made up of people that I work with, yet I was still nervous.

Hopefully they'll be a good reminder to you as well as you're caring for your patients."</span></p> <p>----<br /> Articles On-the-Go presents perioperative insights from written articles in a creative, easy to listen, audio format.
