S6 Ep2: One Week Left on Contract: Ring Saga, Rostering Chaos, and US/Puerto Rico Travel Plans
Laura and Carly catch up on their podcast as Carly nears the end of a 12-week regional midwifery contract, describing extreme heat, a quick Melbourne trip to collect her repaired engagement ring after losing its diamond at work, and reconnecting with former colleagues. They discuss the challenges of agency work, including lack of orientation, repeatedly expiring medication logins, inconsistent rostering, accommodation issues affecting another agency midwife, and last-minute shift changes. Carly outlines upcoming travel plans: Puerto Rico, then a longer US trip (including New York, upstate New York, Maine, and North Carolina) before visiting the UK, plus trying Air New Zealand’s “sky couch.” Laura shares her own upcoming trips, house purchase, and early planning for a 50th-birthday group trip, and they discuss future podcast plans, possible guests, and social media.
