Join us in this episode as we explore the essential skills, personal development, and strategies needed to build a successful nursing career and inspire others.   Hello, everybody, and welcome back to Nurse to Nurse Podcast! In today's episode, we explored a topic that lies at the heart of every nurse's career: building a successful nursing career. In this episode, we delved into the critical aspects of building a successful nursing career. We discussed the importance of defining your purpose and why it serves as the foundation of every successful nursing journey. By understanding your "why," you can navigate challenges, stay focused on your goals, and drive impact, just like nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale did. We also highlighted the significance of personal development, emphasizing the need for continuous education and skill enhancement. Despite the lack of formal leadership training in many healthcare organizations, we encouraged listeners to take initiative. Pursue certifications like Certified Nursing Management Leader, invest in leadership programs, and create your own path to becoming a capable leader. Additionally, we addressed the disconnect between leadership and clinical competency in some healthcare organizations. True leaders lead from the front, getting their hands dirty, understanding the challenges faced by their staff, and actively participating in patient care. We stressed the importance of managers and directors possessing both excellent people skills and clinical experiences to effectively support their teams.   Lessons that the listener will learn from the episode: The significance of defining your purpose and understanding your "why" in nursing. The importance of continuous education and skill enhancement in personal and professional growth. How to bridge the gap between leadership and clinical competency to become an effective leader. The role of managers and directors in leading from the front, actively engaging with their teams, and fostering a positive work environment. Strategies to pursue certifications and leadership programs independently to enhance leadership skills.   Are you ready to take your nursing career to the next level? Start by defining your purpose and understanding your "why." Invest in continuous education and seek opportunities for personal development.

Are you ready to embrace the technological revolution in healthcare and nursing? As nurses, we understand that the modern healthcare environment is different from what it was just a couple of decades ago. We face the pressure of increasingly time-consuming administrative tasks, including extensive documentation requirements that can detract from direct patient care. The good news is, that we're on the brink of a significant transformation that can help us refocus on what matters most – our patients. Welcome back #nursenation to the Nurse to Nurse podcast! In today's episode, we delved into the fascinating world of emerging technologies in nursing and their potential to enhance patient care. We explored topics like predictive analytics, mobile applications, robotic systems, AI for clinical decision support, and telehealth with remote patient monitoring. While some may find these topics daunting or uninteresting, they are paramount in reshaping the landscape of healthcare and addressing the very real challenges we face as healthcare providers. We also discussed the incredible potential of telehealth and remote patient monitoring. With the advent of wearable devices and health apps, patients can take charge of their own health like never before. These tools empower individuals to monitor their vital signs, keep their chronic conditions in check, and proactively engage with healthcare professionals, all from the comfort of their homes. As nurses, we have the opportunity to guide our patients in embracing this technology, fostering a new era of preventive and patient-centered care. Key takeaways from the episode: Understanding Telemedicine: Telemedicine is more than just video calls; it's a comprehensive approach to providing remote patient care, enhancing accessibility, and increasing patient satisfaction. The Role of Robotics in Patient Care: Robots are not replacing nurses but complementing their roles by performing tasks like lifting patients and monitoring vital signs, thereby reducing the physical strain on healthcare professionals. The Importance of Adaptability: We emphasize the need for nurses to be open to change and willing to learn about and embrace new technologies, even if they seem overwhelming at first. Promoting Patient-Centered Care: By integrating these technologies, nurses can enhance patient experiences, ensuring that care is not only efficient but also personalized, compassionate, and tailored to individual needs. Fostering a Curious Mindset: We encourage listeners to stay curious, explore these innovations, and understand how they can make a significant difference in patient outcomes and overall healthcare efficiency. Advocating for Patient Advocacy: These technologies empower nurses to advocate for their patients effectively, ensuring that they receive the best possible care and are actively involved in their healthcare decisions. By learning about and embracing these lessons, you can position yourselves as leaders in the evolving healthcare landscape, providing high-quality care while embracing the benefits of technological advancements. Are you using wearables or health apps to monitor your health? Have you witnessed the positive impact of AI on your nursing practice? Let's discuss how these innovations are changing the way we provide and receive healthcare.

We are truly grateful for your presence today.   In today's episode, Kevin will be taking the spotlight as we delve into the various types of urinary catheters, their proper usage, and potential complications.   Before we dive into our topic, let's take a moment to recap what catheterization entails.   As most of you are already aware, urinary catheterization is a widely employed medical procedure that aids in the drainage of urine from the bladder. It involves the gentle insertion of a slender and flexible tube, known as a catheter, into the urinary tract. This procedure is typically employed when a patient experiences difficulty urinating naturally or when there is a need to closely monitor and manage urinary output.   As healthcare professionals, it is crucial for us to grasp the fundamental principles and techniques of catheterization. By doing so, we can provide the highest standard of care and safeguard the well-being of our patients.   So, without further ado, let's jump right into today's episode where we'll be discussing urinary catheter types, step-by-step instructions, and potential complications.   More of the topics discussed:  1:13 The different types of Foley Catheter 3:24 Why and when to use 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 4:52 What are Coude Catheter 6:03 Look at the risk versus the benefit. Does the patient really need a Foley? 7:17 Understanding patient's anatomy and the effect of Foley catheter to each 11:12 A BIG rookie mistake when doing CBI continuous bladder irrigation  13:03 What to do when you've already had the patient with the Foley catheter 13:47 Follow CDC guidelines for Foley Catheter 15:07 The use of Purewick Catheter 16:56 What to remember when you're opening a Foley tray 21:34 Why is Aseptic Insertion so important 22:44 Ensure Proper Insertion Technique 24:06 Contamination of the sterile field 25:49 Maintenance of a catheter 28:11 Prevention of obstruction 29:09 The importance of incorporating observation of urinary catheter back into your routine process 30:21 Take home points Other links and resources mentioned:  Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) https://www.cdc.gov/infectioncontrol/guidelines/cauti/index.html Preventing Hospital-Acquired Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (HA-CAUTI) https://vimeo.com/129657316?fbclid=IwAR2q87w2W-Ktljl0S7cclZP6WrRoZfVdhI2afWttEd3mCQZGv6nX2Vb_MJ8   CAUTI Stimulation https://www.tnpatientsafety.com/initiatives/catheter-associated-urinary-tract-infections-cauti/cauti-simulation/?fbclid=IwAR0eCUjpUbD1hYyG-8T3fztX-ZUK0UKvgWu6F2FlogwjKh8-IPHERkWTEQU      *********** Want to win Podcast Merch?

Welcome back everyone to another episode of the Nurse to Nurse podcast-straight talk with the two skilled nurses Kevin and Starshema!   Today we're going to talk about medication errors. Some of you might be able to understand our point of view in this episode and some might have the slightest idea or knowledge of the drugs you administer or some of you don't (nobody's perfect).    Medication is a drug used to diagnose, cure, treat or prevent disease. Not knowing the proper formula or dosage leads to the death of the patient, so it is very important to know all these important factors when administering drugs.    What better way to save more lives is to have the proper knowledge and understanding of medications and dosages. Drugs can be dangerous, though, even when they're meant to improve our health. Taking them correctly and understanding the right way to administer them can reduce the risks.   And that's what we'll be talking about today.    Key points in what we discussed:  04:07 Vulnerability is our greatest strength 7:10 Crying is a natural phenomena  18:20 The importance of this medication in nursing 33:35 Story of medication errors 42:13 What to look out for when giving Nitro for all brand new nurses 55:31 High risks medication drugs   Join the conversation in our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/590215372864282 ************** Stay in touch with the hosts  Connect with Kevin:  Looking for chart reviews, expert consultation, and legal briefings?

Welcome back everyone to another episode of the Nurse to Nurse podcast-straight talk with the two skilled nurses Kevin and Starshema!   Nursing is considered a hard job and their work stresses can have negative effects on health and quality of life.    In today's episode, we are going to help you understand the stressful environment nurses experience every day.    But first, let us ask you a question, “Is being an ER and ICU nurse the same?”   You probably know that there are different roles in the healthcare facility as an ER Nurse and ICU Nurse that most people would find hard to respect speciality.    How medication works for all nurses also differs from their experience. Take note that it's an important role of a nurse to educate patients about medications, dosages, and possible side effects. This also helps to determine if nurses had adequate pharmacology knowledge of the drugs they administer.    We also talked about how you manage stress and what you could have done to be able to get back on track and save lives. Although not all stress is negative, even positive stress can have a negative effect on an individual. Sometimes they get stressed about Patients and family members who demand, lack of needed resources to do the work, or even unsupportive workers.    Self-care is not optional in the nursing profession. Nurses can only care for patients if they've taken steps to take care of themselves. Therefore, learning how to manage stress as a nurse is the key to enjoying a long and healthy career.   Starshema    “The most dangerous person is a person who doesn't understand their own limitation”   More of the topics we discussed:   00:00 Hot tea that you don't want to miss if you want Freebies! 9:30 Starts of conversation 10:40 The most stressful job in the healthcare society 14:40 How do you put yourself in a situation when your profession is needed 29:00 Why ER and ICU nurses are the most stressful job 43:08 How to transition from being a good nurse to an awesome nurse 45:00 Administering medications 59:00 Kevin and Starshema's message to their younger selves.    **************   Other links and resources mentioned: If you want to learn Critical Care you can go to:  Association Critical Care Nurses   You can look up Mrs Laura Gasparis Vonfrolio on this website: www.greatnurses.com  Follow her on Facebook: (2) Laura Gasparis Vonfrolio | Facebook  Stay in touch with the hosts  Connect with Kevin:  Looking for chart reviews, expert consultation, and legal briefings?

Hey Girlfriends! Welcome back to the Nurse to Nurse podcast!   Alright, so this is the last episode of the Nurse to Nurse podcast for the year 2022 and I think it's really a good time to have this conversation with you about the scarcity mindset as we're wrapping up 2022, leaving what wasn't serving us and showing up in 2023 with a bang and making sure that we have the growth mindset as we welcome the New Year!    So, many times, we want to start a business and it's easy for us to do the technical things (buy a domain name, choose branding colors), right? But we don't think about the things that really should be there to help us grow our businesses.    One thing I know about being in business for years now, there are some very obvious things that we're able to identify in our businesses but then, there are also some things that are very subtle that we don't get a chance to see.    You might hear people talk about scarcity mindset all the time and I know we all have an idea about what is it, but what is a scarcity mindset in business? How does it affect your business growth?    So in today's episode, I am going to be sharing with you what is scarcity in general.    What is scarcity in business?  How scarcity plays a role in our business growth? What is the correct mindset that you want to adopt to help you grow your business brand?  Are you sabotaging your business growth with a scarcity mindset?      _______________________________________________   If you're feeling inspired and ready to build your personal brand and create a premium coaching practice in 90 days, visit www.iamstarshema.com/buildmybrand to start your journey today!   Connect with me: IG: @nursecoachstarshemaRN FB: Starshema RN Website: iamstarshema.com

Hey Girlfriends! Welcome back to the Nurse to Nurse podcast!    Today, we are going to talk about the things that we nurses did not learn in nursing school.   I know that we learned many things from nursing school right? They taught as so much. They taught us how to be good to other people. They taught us the privilege to help people that are in the most vulnerable times of their lives. They taught us how to prioritize care for our patients.   All in all nursing school taught us how to be a nurse, how to earn money with caring for people in an organization like hospital settings, home clinical type settings and a lot more.    But as I grow my business, what I realize is nursing school did not teach us how to be able to take our expertise and skill and still drive impact to the world, still care for people and monetize our own knowledge.    They didn't teach us how we can do so much more with our knowledge and skill.    And today we are going to talk about that. I'm going to disrupt the space that does not align any longer with the things that nursing school teaches us.     _______________________________________________   If you're feeling inspired and ready to build your personal brand and create a premium coaching practice in 90 days, visit www.iamstarshema.com/buildmybrand to start your journey today!   Connect with me: IG: @nursecoachstarshemaRN FB: Starshema RN Website: iamstarshema.com

Are you a woman who wants to earn money in her business?    As a business owner, you probably think, or most of us were taught to build our business first, and clients will follow. But in my experience that is totally not true. I say, you can build anything you want. You can build a website but that doesn't guarantee that you will make money out of it.    What I found out to be true is you need a strategy to make your business work. That clients and money are easily found if only you have a strategy in your business.    So today, I will be sharing with you how to create an actionable strategy to help you earn money in your business over the next 30 days.  Best if you watch this episode in my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6TCe6pXjqnye_2hFvZEXKA/featured as I will be showing you a mindmap in there to help you visualize the strategy I'm talking about.    Key points:  2:01 Why “not having a gameplan” sets me to failure when I am just starting my business 6:00 Start of Money Action Plan presentation _______________________________________________   If you're feeling inspired and ready to build your personal brand and create a premium coaching practice in 90 days, visit www.iamstarshema.com/buildmybrand to start your journey today!   Connect with me: IG: @nursecoachstarshemaRN FB: Starshema RN Website: iamstarshema.com

We can only see a few women who spearhead their brands. Seeing all these men can sometimes intimidate women. So, we end up putting on a “manly” front when it comes to business.    We tend to act too “competitive” that we often forget that we need to be real in who we are as a brand and as a person. Believe in your identity as a brand and as a person, and everything else will follow! Owning your success story  Most women are used to using “we” instead of “I” when talking about their accomplishments. Although that's not a bad thing, it does show how using “I” can seem like bragging for most women when it's not. It's time that we acknowledge what we deserve. You hustled to get that dream.    You deserve to be recognized!  Fearing failure and failing publicly Failure may seem scary for everyone. Not having everything go to plan and being rejected can be stressful. But believing that these moments are the best teachers will help us in bouncing right up.    Mistakes happen, and sometimes we make poor business decisions. The important thing is we learn from those mistakes, and we do better the next time!    Can you relate? Tune in and find out more about building your dream brand now!

Because I was born during communistic times, I spent most of my childhood at my grandparents' cottage in the middle of the woods.   Milking cows, hunting for mushrooms, and berries in the woods were how my time was spent. I also watched my grandma bake delicious cakes when I was younger.   I came to the U.S. in 2003 as an exchange student to work at the summer camp and learn English. I met my husband there, and the rest is history.   I loved baking cakes for my kids, but it wasn't until about six years ago that my friends pushed me to sell my cakes to others.   So I did, and after working two jobs and making cakes on the side for over three years, I decided to quit my day job and do baking full time. In 2 weeks it will be two years since I made that move and I'm still here, doing what I love."   Learn more about her inspiring life story and how she built her dream business.
