Meet Qian (pronounced Chen), a brave young woman who solo traveled from China to Texas to Iowa and became a nurse in the process. Join Qian and Adrianne as they discuss her journey -past, present, and future.


In this episode, they cover topics like:
-The “fine print” of nursing student Visas and why Qian is leaving the U.S.
-Learning medical terminology in another language.
-Struggling with culture shock and insecurity speaking a new language
-The steps she taking to get home.
-Differences in nursing between China and the U.S.
-How family and friends understand (or don’t) what her job is, really.

All this and more in this wonderful, insightful conversation with a very special nurse.
