RN Call Back is a model for an innovative LNC service that can give you a steady income. Gyalia Rutledge, a highly experienced clinical nurse and legal nurse consultant, got the idea for it when in response to an attorney's calling her about the viability of a case, asked him questions he couldn't answer. She asked if she could speak directly to the potential client, and he agreed.. RN Call Back was born. Gyalia currently handles 30 to 60 call backs a month from one firm with several attorneys. For those she finds viable, the attorney usually gives her the case for further work. By speaking directly with the potential client and asking pertinent questions about their general health, what happened in the medical setting, and other questions, Gyalia can make a preliminary determination about the case. This screening saves attorneys time and money and greatly reduces the cost of ordering medical records. Those people whose cases aren't found appropriate are often able to gain a sense of closure that their loved ones' death wasn't caused by medical error. Gyalia recommends that only LNCs with some experience explore this form of work. They should have a good grounding in legal malpractice principles as well as being thoroughly grounded in nursing practice. If you're looking for a way to steadily maintain and increase your LNC income, be sure to listen to or read this podcast. It may open a new and lucrative door for you. Join me in this episode of How to Increase your LNC Income with RN Call Backs - Gyalia Rutledge How did RN Call Back begin? How do you investigate patients' claims that their medical records were falsified? How does RN Call Back save attorneys money and time? In what other ways does the RN Callback benefit the attorneys involved? Who is the ideal LNC to launch and operate this kind of service?

Your Presenter of How to Increase your LNC Income with RN Call Backs - Gyalia Rutledge Gyalia has been a nurse since 1988 and her clinical nursing experience has been in the Neonatal ICU, PICU, Pediatric ER, and Adult ER. In 2003, Gyalia started working as the Emergency Department Performance Improvement clincial and new employee trainer where she taught ACLS, Triage certification, and PALS. In 2004 Gyalia received her CLCN from the Vickie Millazo Institute and started working as an LNC in the state of SC while continuing her clinical practice. In 2006, she left clinical practice and went to work as a Risk Manager for a large malpractice company that covered SC and Western NC. Eventually, she stepped away from Risk Management and started full-time in GR Consulting. Currently, she is in-house at a law firm as well as functions independently for attorneys across the country. Over the years she has worked on a variety of legal cases including medical malpractice to include birthing injury cases, personal injury, workman's comp, and criminal cases.

Our learners often complain that they do not get good feedback from us as faculty. Providing actionable, formative feedback in real-time while providing patient care in a busy inpatient setting is hard. This week we talked with three neonatologists who asked us to help them to give feedback better. Listen to them describe the two formative feedback models they are now using in a busy NICU setting. Their stories provide lessons that are applicable broadly to how we engage learners across the HSC campus. Do you have any questions or comments about Faculty Feed?

Leeann Blaskowsky is a board-certified neonatal nurse practitioner.  In her words:  since 2009 I have been living and working in Colorado, and I am faced, almost daily, with counseling families about marijuana use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. My nursing education began with an Associates degree waaay back in 1984, continuing to a Bachelors and Masters in Nursing more than twenty-five years later, finally finishing with a Doctorate of Nursing Practice in 2020. With more than 40 years in healthcare beginning as a bedside nurse in the ICU/CCU, Emergency Department and Neonatal ICU settings, I have had the opportunity to interact with patients and families with varying opinions and practices regarding the use of marijuana. These interactions have expanded in scope and increased in number as medical marijuana and legalized recreational use arrived in Colorado. I have also cared for many patients struggling with addiction to various substances including mothers and newborns. Optimizing outcomes for our patients has, and always will, remain my driving force in practice when a clear need to continue educating providers and families in our communities arises. And now I have a personal stake...

Our guest today is Rebecca Wood. Rebecca lived all over Virginia before her relocation to Massachusetts. Rebecca worked with many organizations and offices on Capitol Hill. Her healthcare work includes rallies, protests, press conferences, and conventions. Most notable, she told her and daughter Charlie's story at the introduction of Senator Sanders' Medicare For All Act of 2017 and testified before the House Ways and Means Committee hearing on Pathways to Universal Coverage in June 2019 (Rebecca's statement begins about at about 18:10). Rebecca also regularly volunteers for Remote Area Medical, which provides access to healthcare for underserved communities and is active in the push for universal school meals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK1XiF5Rco4 Show Notes CW: Medical and dental trauma We don't usually start our podcasts with data or statistics, but last week Gallup released a shocking poll that clearly reflects a new reality for the country: 38 percent of Americans now say they put off medical treatment because of the cost sometime in the past year (2021). This is a HUGE leap over just a year ago, when only 26 percent of Americans were putting off care. Gallup has been conducting this poll for over 20 years, and this is the worst we have ever seen. Even more troubling, 26 percent say they put off treatment for “very serious” conditions or “somewhat serious” conditions, and THAT is another huge leap over just a year ago, when “only” 18 percent of Americans were putting off care for very serious or somewhat serious issues. We're now three years into the pandemic, and employment rates have improved. So what the fuck is going on here that our access to healthcare is now worse than during the height of the pandemic when the economy was shut down and there were no vaccines?!? Rebecca tells a story that illustrates how delayed care hurts American families. Ten years ago her daughter Charlie was born prematurely due to Rebecca's severe early onset pre-ecclampsia, a potentially deadly condition for both mom and baby. Charlie was in the Neonatal ICU for three months. Their family had "good insurance" through Rebecca's then-husband's employer. Over the next several years, like many micro-premies Charlie needed enormous amounts of care. They faced automatic denials, outrageous deductibles and huge copays from their insurance company. Due to the high out of pocket costs for Charlie's care, they went from being financially comfortable, to going through their savings, putting off their plan to buy a home, and living paycheck to paycheck. Even worse, Rebecca had to make choices between paying for her daughter's healthcare and her own. Like so many American parents, Rebecca put Charlie's needs first, sometimes rationing her own medications and eventually putting off an important dental procedure. That delayed dental procedure led to an infection that spread to her entire mouth and jaw, forcing her to the emergency room. Doctors feared the swelling could cut off her airway. After days in the hospital, Rebecca followed up with her dentist, where she had to have all of her teeth pulled and parts of her jaw scraped away. In 2017 when the Affordable Care Act came under attack, Rebecca feared repeal would make Charlie uninsurable due to preexisting conditions. So Rebecca became a vocal activist. She used her family's experience to call out the profound policy failure that has caused so many American families to suffer. The new Gallup Poll found: “In 2022, Americans with an annual household income under $40,000 were nearly twice as likely as those with an income of $100,000 or more to say someone in their family delayed medical care for a serious condition (34% vs. 18%, respectively). Those with an income between $40,000 and less than $100,000 were similar to those in the lowest income group when it comes to postponing care, with 29% doing so. Reports of putting off care for a serious condition...

By Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today/Host, The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast OB2me has changed the delivery of prenatal care for women throughout their pregnancy and childbirth. https://2mehealthcare.com/ https://2mehealthcare.com/ob2me/ About Carson Ragan, CNM Carson was born in Georgia, spent most of her childhood growing up in Birmingham, Alabama. She started her family at a very young age, and after her second child was born emergently three months premature, she knew she wanted to be a L&D or nursery nurse, so she returned to Georgia to attend Columbus State University for her undergraduate nursing degree. While in nursing school she gave birth to her third child under the care of a certified nurse midwife (CNM). Immediately, she knew that was exactly she wanted to become: a certified nurse midwife. She graduated as a Registered Nurse in 1999 and immediately began working in her favorite area of nursing, Labor & Delivery. Over the years as an L&D nurse, she felt honored to provide care to thousands of families during one of the most intimate and memorable events in their lives. Before starting graduate school to become a CNM, she also pursued an internship and worked a few years as a Neonatal ICU nurse. It was important to her to learn more about what happened to the preemie and sick babies when they left the delivery room and how could she best educate and support her future patients as a CNM. After she gained years of bedside experience as a L&D/NICU nurse, charge nurse, CPR instructor and Nurse educator/Clinician, she finally went back to graduate school to pursue her dream. She graduated from Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing in 2010 and began working as a Certified Nurse Midwife in our community.

The Joy Revolution and TEDxOcala proudly present... The Golden Mic Podcast w/ Marc Cordon Ep. 0108 The 4th Trimester: The Power of a Doctor & Her Black Bag/w Dr Sonal Patel https://play.goldenmicpodcast.com/0108_patel Meet Sonal, a mother of four boys. During her pregnancy, Sonal was the Hollywood prototype of a pregnant woman - a perfectly round belly, glowing skin, and luscious flowing hair. But life after birth was much different for Sonal. Postpartum tore her apart physically, emotionally, and mentally - leaky, engorged breasts accompanied by waves of intense pelvic pain, diapers on both baby and her, a sense of isolation, and tears never portrayed in any Hollywood blockbuster. Sonal is a physician, specifically a pediatrician further trained in neonatology. Her story concerning postpartum, or the 4th trimester, is not an isolated tale. Many women undergo it far worse. Serena Williams, the greatest of women's tennis, almost died after her c-section. She developed a pulmonary embolism, a lung clot, requiring two surgical operations, and spent her first six weeks of motherhood in bed, half her 4th trimester. In doing more research on the 4th trimester, the statistics are staggering. America's maternal mortality rate of 23.8 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births ranks last in first world nations though spending the most in healthcare dollars.The lastest data reported in September 2022 showed that 22% mothers die in pregnancy, while 78% die after birth, with 25% in the first week of delivery. 4 in 5 deaths are preventable.Interstate disparities find that a mother in Georgia has ten times higher chance of dying versus a California mother.Among black women, maternal mortality is three times higher than that of her white counterparts. Extrapolating the data further, a black woman's higher education level and socioeconomic status does not protect her from these alarming disparities.Women are income-earners through outside avenues of employment as well as through traditional household duties. A new mother's unexpected death not only leaves behind a newborn and maybe other children, but jolts a household's economic foundation.  In 2022, the Council of Foreign Relations estimated that if women were part of the US labor force at the same rate as men, America's economy would grow by $4.3 trillion in five years.   As Dr. Patel says, "There must be a better way." ...and a better way for the 4th trimester will take everyone. Sonal is doing her part. After her own experience, Dr. Sonal Patel transitioned from her Neonatal ICU job and began a new career as a traveling 4th-trimester doctor. She wrote the book, "The Doctor & Her Black Bag: How Old-Fashioned Care Tackles Maternal Mortality and Benefits America's Economy" In the spirit of bringing awareness to the 4th trimester, Dr. Patel will speak at TEDxOcala. Dr. Patel will be talking about how the failure not to action during the 4th trimester impacts everyone.

Welcome to Difficult Conversations with Dr. Anthony Orsini. Today, I have a wonderful guest who's been doing great things in the healthcare field and has some wonderful stories to share.  My guest today is Jeff Atwood.  Jeff is a healthcare leader, author, and speaker who has more than twenty-five years of healthcare leadership, marketing, and storytelling experience. He consults with healthcare and community groups nationally, sharing insights and encouragement found at the crossroads during his two decades serving healthcare organizations, while raising a daughter with significant and developmental challenges. Jeff's books have been published by Simon & Schuster, Random House, and Harvest House, and today we'll be talking about his latest book, Need to Know for Graduates: Little Things That Make a Big Difference, which was released earlier this year. Jeff shares his journey and how he entered a career in healthcare by accident.  He tells us about his daughter who has had a seizure disorder her entire life, and how he and his wife had the opportunity to touch almost every part of the healthcare system as parents. We hear about the Gratitude Symposium and Jeff shares a sweet story, as well as his thoughts about how the healthcare community is wired with gratitude. Dr. Orsini shares his insights on the importance of teamwork when it comes to providing care to human beings, and we hear some great stories of the true kindness of people in healthcare  We hear some great advice about how we can bring even more beauty and humanity out in medicine, and why acknowledging  people when they do good things is so important.  Dr. Orsini tells us his “sticker story” and why such a simple thing seems to bring so much excitement to people. He tells a tender story about a housekeeper in the Neonatal ICU. Jeff's discusses his most recent book, Need to Know for Graduates: Little Things That Make a Big Difference, and his idea behind the book that shares advice and things he thinks are important for parents to tell their kids.

Carly Kelly was born with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, a disease that not only affects the kidneys, but also can lead to liver problems. She spent the first month of her life in the Neonatal ICU at Mayo Clinic, where physicians told Carly's family she would eventually need a kidney transplant. "I was the first one to register as a donor," says Tim Kelly, Carly's father. "And I was so blessed to be a match. Carly and I have the exact same blood type: AB negative. There are so many people out there that are waiting for kidney and other organs. It is such a long waitlist, and to be able to give my daughter a kidney right off the bat was so fortunate for both of us."At age 8, Carly had her first organ transplant, receiving a kidney from her father. In 2019, Carly went into liver failure she received a liver transplant on May 2, 2019. 10 months later, Carly received her second kidney transplant. All three transplants have taken place at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.Now 27 years old, Carly is doing well and hasn't let her transplants slow her down. She and her father will compete in the 2022 Transplant Games of America, which will take place July 29-Aug. 3 in San Diego. The games are open to transplant recipients, living donors and donor families in different categories.Carly and Tim will be part of Team MN-DAK, which is sponsored by LifeSource. This will be their third time competing in the games, taking part in cycling, pickleball and cornhole. They've been preparing together for the event."Every day, we'll bike, or we'll go for a walk, or we'll play pickleball or we'll throw some bags," says Carly. "Being together and preparing, it's something just my dad and I do, which is really cool. It's not really about competing. It's more about honoring your donor." There are nearly 106,000 people in the U.S. waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. Tim and Carly both say that competing in the games is not only about honoring the donors, but also raising awareness. "Please registered to be a donor," implores Tim. "One person can save up to eight lives. And it's easy thing to do. Carly wouldn't be here without multiple donors." To register to be a donor, visit the Donate Life America website. On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Carly and Tim Kelly share their story.

In this episode, Host Wendy McCallum, Burnout & Balance Coach and guest Angela Fitzgerald, Neonatal ICU Nurse, discuss how the pandemic has impacted the nurses in Angela's unit and more generally, the challenges that come with shift work and being in a caregiving profession during COVID-19. Angela approached Wendy a couple of months ago because she saw a need for this conversation around wellness and burnout prevention (and recovery) in her profession. She went through her own burnout a year ago and learned a lot about how to create a better balance as a busy nurse with a family at home. Together, she and Wendy provide some strategies for reducing overwhelm and stress and improving sleep, nutrition, and self-care while working shifts and dealing with all of the additional pressures of nursing during the pandemic. Whether you are in a caregiving profession or not, you'll learn a lot from this conversation about meaningful self-care and balance.

Hello, I am Dia Mirza and all through my pregnancy, I smoked. Actually, I didn't, but it doesn't really matter, because my unborn child and I are a part of the 90% of the world that breathes polluted air. Breathing in Indian cities has been equated to being a regular smoker. WHO tells us that air pollution kills about 7 million people worldwide each year. In India alone, there were as many as 980,000 deaths in 2019 because of particulate matter. But these are numbers. Statistics don't touch us. Data doesn't shake us. We hear numbers, but we are moved by stories. Tune in to listen to a true story — my story about my own pregnancy which was complicated by a bacterial infection leading to my extremely prematurely born baby staying away from me in a Neonatal ICU for months from birth.

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is moving past energy efficiency research and into researching better life indoors. One of their projects was looking into ‘realistic’ lighting in an Neonatal ICU. Andrea Wilkerson, senior lighting researcher, shared her findings for sun-like colour and brightness automation. Beyond what happened during the test we explore some of the broader implications of circadian entrainment and it’s ability to signal behaviour and mood in subtle ways. We also settle the question of whether or not we can meaningfully or honestly label something as ‘Circadian-Friendly’ and continue to probe into why we see so many women in lighting research.

We dig DEEP on this episode with Anne Calhoun. Join in with this episode as we discuss how Anne started her career as a nurse, from failing organic chemistry four times, her adventures as a paramedic to her beginnings as a nurse in a neonatal ICU. We discuss so many important things such as:  Being able to find your strengths within ICU nursing Why each of us packs an emotional backpack and why that is not the best method of releasing stress Why the simple things for patient care matter Why practicing self-forgiveness matters Getting to know the human in each person Three special methods of helping to reduce stress including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Why practicing with an open heart is such an important piece as a nurse  About Anne: Anne graduated from nursing school in 2002 as a 2nd degree student because her organic chemistry grades weren't good enough to get into Med school (seriously). She moved to nursing after 5 years as a paramedic, and took a job in the Neonatal ICU. She spent 12 years at the bedside, and 3 years as a Nurse Educator in that unit until she left the hospital to work as a holistic educator full time from home. Anne is passionate about caring for people with a wide open heart. She loves helping people to trust their intuition and learn about the root causes of their symptoms. Anne lives in Michigan with her husband and 3 kids.

My guest for The Happy Hour # 238 is Jennifer Welker. Jennifer is a former Neonatal ICU nurse turned founder and designer of the jewelry brand, Golden Thread. Golden Thread is a luxe line of personalized and dainty jewelry that's been featured in magazines like Vogue, In Style, & People Style Watch, and is a celebrity favorite. Jennifer and her husband Ellis reside in Houston with their three children (and one on the way!) Jennifer and I start off the show talking about how her business Golden Thread started out as an outlet to deal with the grief she encountered while working in the NICU. Jennifer then opens up to share how deep wounds in her childhood led her to live life with a self savior mentality - one where on the outside everything looked "normal", but on the inside she was empty. She tells us how this spiraled downhill fast as she entered into an affair that would last years. I appreciated so much that Jennifer gives us the raw truth about the darkness, codependency, and toxic addiction that the affair was. I know you will be so moved as you hear Jennifer speak of when she hit her lowest, and the moment she tangibly felt God remove the scales from her eyes. Infidelity is not something that is often openly talked about, but friends, let us not get trapped in the lie that it only happens to "those" people. We are all in this boat together, and Jennifer's story is one we can all relate to, because her story speaks the truth that we are all in need of our savior, Jesus.  Connect with Jamie Facebook // Twitter // Instagram // YouTube Sponsors Thomas' English Muffins Bolster Sleep - Use code HAPPYHOUR for 10% off your purchase Zip Recruiter - try for Free!

Carly Kelly was born with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, a disease that not only affects the kidneys, but also can lead to liver problems. She spent the first month of her life in the Neonatal ICU at Mayo Clinic, where physicians told Carly's family she would eventually need a kidney transplant. "I was the first one to register as a donor," says Tim Kelly, Carly's father. "And I was so blessed to be a match. Carly and I have the exact same blood type: AB negative. There are so many people out there that are waiting for kidney and other organs. It is such a long waitlist, and to be able to give my daughter a kidney right off the bat was so fortunate for both of us."At age 8, Carly had her first organ transplant, receiving a kidney from her father. In 2019, Carly went into liver failure she received a liver transplant on May 2, 2019. 10 months later, Carly received her second kidney transplant. All three transplants have taken place at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.Now 27 years old, Carly is doing well and hasn't let her transplants slow her down. She and her father will compete in the 2022 Transplant Games of America, which will take place July 29-Aug. 3 in San Diego. The games are open to transplant recipients, living donors and donor families in different categories.Carly and Tim will be part of Team MN-DAK, which is sponsored by LifeSource. This will be their third time competing in the games, taking part in cycling, pickleball and cornhole. They've been preparing together for the event."Every day, we'll bike, or we'll go for a walk, or we'll play pickleball or we'll throw some bags," says Carly. "Being together and preparing, it's something just my dad and I do, which is really cool. It's not really about competing. It's more about honoring your donor." There are nearly 106,000 people in the U.S. waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. Tim and Carly both say that competing in the games is not only about honoring the donors, but also raising awareness. "Please registered to be a donor," implores Tim. "One person can save up to eight lives. And it's easy thing to do. Carly wouldn't be here without multiple donors." To register to be a donor, visit the Donate Life America website. On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Carly and Tim Kelly share their story.
