Self-reflection is a key component of simulation debriefing that helps students describe their development of clinical judgment skills. Drs. Michelle Bussard and Lisa Jacobs asked students what they learned about themselves and what changes they plan to make to their nursing practice based on observation of their own performance during simulation in a video recording. Their qualitative study revealed findings about communication, body language, safety, and other AACN essential competencies that might have been overlooked in traditional methods of assessment in simulation.

Carnivore diet: Prior: I was very skeptical. I debated people on the carnivore diet on Twitter espousing the benefits of Mediterranean / plant-based diets. Start: August 9, 2021 Benefits first 3 months: 30lb fat loss and 10lb of lean mass gain, digestive irritability reduced, energy levels and mood improved.  Benefits after 3 months: I realized that for the first time in 2 decades I was no longer depressed. I have a gym routine again after 2 decades of lack of motivation.  I've been sharing my story on YouTube. Regenarianism: I call myself a Regenarian. Regenarians make three foundational commitments. 1. We support farming practices that protect our home, planet earth, and the farmers that provide us with food. 2. We recognize that humans have the right to access ways of eating that are consistent with our species, Homo sapien, and 3. With the acknowledgment that life requires a balance of right and wrong actions, we support farmers and hunters who do the most right by treating livestock and prey according to the highest ethical standards possible.  My pinned tweet speaks to the way of the Reganarians. https://twitter.com/Regenarian/status...

This presentation will explore the implications of a large study of pandemic impact on nurses' perceptions of authentic nurse leadership (ANL) and healthy work environment (HWE). Pandemic impact was high at 7.8/10. ANL was supported as an essential standard of AACN's HWE model and was present for clinical nurses. HWE was present overall, but not for clinical nurses, a troublesome finding. Despite all, nurse leaders demonstrated ANL to “lead the troops” through the pandemic crisis.

Amy is a critical care nurse and charge nurse in a SICU in New Orleans. As the initial pandemic response started in 2020, she was identified within her organization because of her leadership, commitment, and expertise to lead and manage the COVID ICU. Amy shares her story about her journey to nursing, her work in the ICU and her experience leading a team during the initial COVID response. Amy and I talked about many things and we got to share a few laughs. One of my favorite things she shared was her opportunity to participate in a Dear World story when Dear world & AACN collaborated to share stories from the front line of the pandemic. Check out Dearworld.com for their story sharing work and the American Association of Critical Care Nurses project at HearUsOut.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/narrativenurse/support
