Meet the Hosts of The ER Edit
Meet Caitlin
Caitlin Armstrong is an ER nurse, working mom, storyteller, and cohost of The ER Edit. After going straight into the emergency room out of nursing school, Caitlin built her career in the middle of the kind of chaos most people only hear about later.
On the podcast, Caitlin brings the big ER energy. She is blunt, emotional, hilarious, and not afraid to say the thing everyone else is thinking. Whether she is talking about wild patient stories, nursing school, motherhood, burnout, workplace violence, or the moments that stick with you long after a shift ends, Caitlin brings honesty first.
Her voice is a huge part of what makes The ER Edit feel real. She does not polish the hard parts of nursing. She names them, laughs when she can, and makes space for the kind of conversations healthcare workers usually only have with the people who get it.
Meet Karlie
Karlie Tooley is a nurse, working mom, former ER nurse, storyteller, and cohost of The ER Edit. She started her nursing journey young, found her way through the highs and lows of healthcare, and built a career shaped by the ER, motherhood, friendship, and the complicated identity that comes with being a nurse.
On the podcast, Karlie brings the grounded chaos. Her humor is dry, her timing is sharp, and her honesty gives the show a deeper emotional center. She can laugh through the absurdity of nursing culture, but she also knows how to slow the conversation down when it turns toward burnout, anxiety, trauma, identity, and life after the ER.
Karlie helps make The ER Edit feel like a real break room conversation. Funny, unfiltered, occasionally inappropriate, and always rooted in what healthcare workers actually live through.
