In this episode 11 of Season Three of the Nursing Strategies for Success Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jeanette Zocco MSN, RNC-OB, C-EFM, C-ONQS, who is leveraging her decades of experience to transform Nursing teams and workplace culture through advocacy and empowerment of other Nurses.  She has recently authored a book with a two-fold intention: 1. To educate perinatal nurses on quality and safety concepts and various quality improvement tools to bring evidence-based care to the bedside and create safer systems of care (which I personally think can be utilized by all specialties).2. To serve as a study guide for nurses interested in sitting for the Obstetric and Neonatal Quality and Safety Certification exam (developed by the National Certification Corporation). Key concepts discussed include: strategies to advocate for patient safety, human factors and cognitive biases as contributing factors to medical errors and sentinel events, and how teamwork and quality improvement can help. (Again - I think all specialties can benefit from this book despite the desire or lack thereof with obtaining ONQS certification.) YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS EPISODE!

The retreat was also a wonderful opportunity for nurses to connect with each other, build relationships, and share experiences. The atmosphere was welcoming and supportive, with everyone genuinely excited to be there and to learn from each other.In terms of self-care, the retreat offered a range of activities designed to help attendees relax and recharge.
