Dr. Maryann Godshall RN PhD and Rebecca Campbell RN MSIT discuss events, environments and issues that affect the nurse at the bedside. Good bedside nurses are life preserving and life giving to those who are critical ill or injured. The relationship between patient and care giver is a special space that develops as healing begins and trust grows. Yet the bedside nurse gets little spot light, affirmation or accurate depiction in the media. Maryann and Rebecca, along with their guest, give real time, real life conversations discussing the intersections of healthcare, education, science, business, humanity and compassion.
