You often hear that nursing is a calling. A gift that is bestowed upon those who "answer the call". Well that isn't often the case! People who enter the profession of nursing may come from  different walks of life and varied backgrounds. Some stumble into nursing, while others always "knew" they wanted to be a nurse. Either way- the end result is the same...a passion for advocacy of those who are most vulnerable and learning to care for others using nursing science. We sit down and speak with Adrienne Behning, a nurse and fellow podcaster about her journey into nursing and her awesome podcast "Nursing Uncensored". 

In this episode, Adrianne welcomes clinical psychologist and president of the Sufi Psychological Association, Saloumeh Bozorgzadeh PsyD to discuss the current burnout nurses are facing and how she and her organization have responded to this problem.This is the part of this pandemic where many healthcare workers are maxed out and suffering from exhaustion. Many may not notice the symptoms in themselves because so many are just keeping afloat in the day-to-day. It may be easier to recognize it in each other and that's exactly what Saloumeh saw. She was noticing a kind of shellshock among hospital nurses and wanted to bring something to them to combat the effects of overwhelming stress, the witness of suffering, and overwork due to short staffing. But it had to be there in the moment, in the hospital, with no pressure on them to go home and have yet something else to do. Thus Caring 4 Our Caregivers Initiative came to be. Please enjoy this episode where they discuss:- the Initiative and its grassroots beginnings- the delayed effects of pandemic stress on nurses- the how tablets became the vehicle for stress relief- the study regarding spirituality-integrated psychology- how this initiative spread to hospitals nationwide- the scientific evidence of these modalitiesYou can learn more at caring4ourcaregivers.org--------------Want more nursing-related content?

In this episode, Adrianne chats with the nurse and author Deanna Mackey about her experiences in the early days of her career through her current situation working from home in a job that she loves. Deanna discusses nursing in a variety of settings and a variety of ways she was subject to the old cliche of nurses eating their young. It can be stressful enough to be a new nurse in the profession without the added stressors of unkind co-workers. Deanna explains how she tried to handle herself with integrity and composure even when she felt like her emotions were trying to take over. This conversation will provide new grads with some perspective on how they are deserving of respect even as learning members of the profession. Deanna also shares her victories in landing a job perfect for her lifestyle, allowing her to thrive as a mom to a young child, while still keeping the discipline and boundaries of her work life inside of her home. Within this setting, she was able to finish writing her book, Nursing at Its Finest, which you can purchase and enjoy at the retailers listed below.

In this episode, Adrianne welcomes back returning guest Dr. Iman Abuzeid, CEO and co-founder of Incredible Health. You may remember Dr. Abuzeid’s first appearance on the show when they discussed the nursing shortage in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. This time, their conversation dives into the effects the ongoing pandemic has had on the nursing profession and the mental health of individual nurses. They also explore new features Incredible Health has added to their platform to support nurses and their well-being. A free social platform strictly for nurses encourages support and networking in a safe space, while the free online journal gives nurses space to inventory their emotions and burnout symptoms. Please continue reading the press release from Incredible Health about these new features on their already fantastic platform. Incredible Health, a career marketplace for connecting hospitals to much-needed, permanent nursing talent announced the launch of two new products aimed to support the mental health of nurses on its platform: an exclusive social network for nurses and a daily journal. Nurses have faced indescribable physical and mental hardships during the pandemic, from higher rates of exposure and mortality to increased reports of burnout and degradation of mental health, and these platform enhancements aim to reduce the burden on frontline workers.According to a recent study of New York-based healthcare workers during the COVID-19 peak in April, nurses were among those reporting the highest levels of stress with 64% of nurses and advanced practice providers reporting symptoms of acute stress - ranging from nightmares to inability to stop thinking about the virus. To meet the mental health needs of nurses, Incredible Health’s new products include:The Incredible Health Nurse Community: A free online community built exclusively for nurses. This online community offers nurses a safe place to support one another during periods of stress and uncertainty by leaning on those who understand what they are going through. Nurses have the option to post to the Nurse Community anonymously to get the advice & support they need without fear of employers seeing the content. Conversations happening in the community range from advice on how to transition between specialties to strategies for coping with workplace stress and burnout. A Daily Nurse Journal: A free digital journal platform.Incredible Health created a digital journal feature where nurses take inventory of their emotions with structured daily prompts designed to help them process stress more effectively. Nurse burnout was a pervasive problem even before the pandemic, with 54% of nurses in a recent study reporting some burnout symptoms. A study in the Journal of Nursing Education and Practice shows that written reflection has a positive effect on the ability of nurses to handle stress, burnout, and trauma/compassion fatigue.Thank you to Dr. Abzeid for being such a lovely guest and to Incredible Health for continuously seeking new ways to improve the lives and work of nurses across the country. ----------------https://www.buymeacoffee.com/NUPodcastWant more nursing-related content?

This week we are joined by Molly Hillig Rodriguez, RN, BSN, MPH, CEO of Empower Yourself Coaching. She reached out to Adrianne to discuss the very sensitive, yet important topic of suicide among nurses and how we work to prevent this tragedy. According to an article from Nurse.org, nurses are four times more likely to commit suicide than individuals not working in healthcare (Yazdi, 2017). The combination of physical, emotional, mental and financial stressors is a real threat to the well-being of our frontline healthcare providers. Molly and Adrianne discuss the imperative need for suicide prevention programs in healthcare institutions and the much-needed involvement of nurse leaders. They highlight ways leaders can reduce suicide risk among nursing staff, how individuals can identify signs of increased suicide risk, and how to be a support to someone who is struggling. Molly also provides some great resources to give each of you a boost of empowerment and education on how to maintain mental health. On the Nursing Uncensored website, you’ll find an information page provided by Molly regarding the content of this conversation and some helpful resources for you.In the episode, Molly mentions three additional resources for you to check out:The School of Greatness - Lewis Howes https://lewishowes.com/sogpodcast/Rise (podcast) - Rachel Hollis https://open.spotify.com/show/7IjK2aH3JBpI7nzqGrN6o0The 5-Second Rule - Mel Robins https://melrobbins.com/blog/five-elements-5-second-rule/--------------------------------------------------------------------Crisis ResourcesIf you or someone you know is in an emergency, call 911 immediately.If you are in crisis or are experiencing difficult or suicidal thoughts, call the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273 TALK (8255)If you’re uncomfortable talking on the phone, you can also text NAMI to 741-741 to be connected to a free, trained crisis counselor on the Crisis Text Line.Find more info on Molly and Empower Yourself Coaching athttp://empoweryourselfcoaching.org/Insta: @_mollyrodriguezCitationsYazdi, M.

This episode is taking us back to August of 2017 when Nursing Uncensored was still called Med Room Chronicles: Nursing Uncensored. This episode was lost in the cloud til recently. So Adrianne polished it up and is presenting it here for your amusement. Andrew and Adrianne talk about common myths held about nurses working the night shift. Night nurses can’t help but cringe when folks say to us “you must love how quiet night shift is, with all the patients sleeping”. Um, not exactly. This episode lays out some 3rd shift truths - but make no mistake, we love our staff on all shifts - we can’t do this without each other. Listeners beware, this was recorded via phone while Andrew was speeding down a Midwestern Interstate. The quality is not what we’ve grown into here at Nursing Uncensored, but this conversation was so good, it couldn’t be lost in a vault forever.nursinguncensored.comCheck out our merch shop for stickers, buttons, and digital art.etsy.me/NUMerchShopBackground music: Slip by Geographerfrom YouTube Audio Library
