    How To Deal With a Half-Ass Shift Report May 31, 2022
    Show notes

    Have you ever come to work and got what seemed to be one of the worst reports ever? What do you do? How do you handle the situation so it's a meaningful experience for everyone involved? Do you give feedback to the off-going nurse about how to improve upon their practice?
    The unsafest times for patients are during shift change, transfers and handoffs. Is that a surprise to anyone? This is the time when the baton is passed and important information can be missed and balls dropped. And when the report is crappy, it can delay treatment and interventions because the oncoming nurse is trying to get up to speed on what's happening with the patient.
    .
    In this episode Nurse Alice shares an example of a half-ass handoff report she got from a staff nurse and discovered the nurse didn't do much for the patient and didn't even understand how sick the patient was. It may seem uncomfortable if you're not used to having an open dialogue with peers but it's okay to hold our peers accountable and provide collegial feedback. Don't be the petty nurse who can't receive feedback. It's not about you, it's about the patient. Listen to how Nurse Alice handled this situation and turned it into a teachable moment.

    Show notes

    While March 19 was Certified Nurses Day, being certified is relevant throughout the year.

But why is it important to nurses?

    In this episode Nurse Alice speaks with Elizabeth Scruth, the chair-elect of the AACN Certification Corporation to discuss the benefits of nursing certification and how to overcome common obstacles to becoming certified, and the importance of being a part of your professional nursing organization.

    How Virtual Reality Will Change Nursing Education (with Ryan Ribeira CEO of SimX) May 10, 2022
    Show notes

    In this episode Nurse Alice speaks with Ryan Ribeira, assistant professor at Stanford and CEO of SimX, an immersive VR medical training company. He explains,
    - What's wrong with the way we train now.
    - What prompted him to start SimX
    - How virtual reality, augmented reality and XR are safe solutions to training and preparing future medical professionals
    Every year nearly 80,000 nursing student applicants get turned away - not because they don't qualify but due to the shortage of nurse educators and training sites and resources. And for those that are in nursing school, it's often a hit or miss with getting the experience you're hoping to get during your clinical rotations. And what about advanced training? How can nurses learn advanced skills in an environment that doesn't put the patient at risk?

    Healthcare workers are human, just like everyone else - healing through storytelling (with Dr. Emily Silverman, "The Nocturnist") Apr 20, 2022
    Show notes

    Many of us have been inspired to work in healthcare. You wanted to make a difference. You had so many ideas, so much ambition, so much passion then over the years of unanticipated trauma and drama, healthcare took its toll. You got burned out. You've been spending more time with equipment and documentation than you have with the patient. You don't feel appreciated. You sometimes don't even like being a nurse anymore. You sometimes wonder if you made a mistake in your career choices.

    In this episode Nurse Alice speaks with Dr. Emily Silverman, internal medicine physician and Volunteer Assistant Professor of Medicine at UCSF and the creator of The Nocturnists, a vibrant community of healthcare workers who are celebrating their humanity through storytelling.

    By airing clinicians’ stories in a safe and generative public forum, The Nocturnists helps shatter the myths of the invincible healthcare provider and reveal the truth: that healthcare workers are human, just like everyone else, and that our humanity is our strength, not our weakness.
