| Legal Considerations for Nursing: This is a CALL TO ACTION for More Education, Training & Support to Keep Nurses Empowered & Safe in Practice! | 17 Oct 2025 | 01:05:20 | |
In episode 7 of season 4 of the Nursing Strategies for Success Podcast, I had the ABSOLUTE PLEASURE of having another amazing conversation with Maggie Ortiz of advocatesfornurses.com - She was a guest on Season 2 - where we discuss just how little education is being done to prepare Nurses for just how serious it can be if Nurses do not effectively leverage their licenses and the regulations that are placed against them to advocate for safe and effective care - despite the pressures of an increasingly difficult healthcare system. This is a CALL TO ACTION for Nursing Programs of Study to really beef up the education that Nurses need to protect their patients/residents, themselves, their licenses and the organizations in which they work! From the CEO all the way down to the CNA - following scope of practice and ensuring that others are doing the same is EVERYONE's Responsibility, and in today's healthcare industry - it's more important than ever! ⚖️ YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS EPISODE! 🎧 Ways to connect with Maggie: E-Book: Help!

| Unifying the Nursing Voice: Leading Teams Who Feel Heard, Valued & Invested In - Not Just Managed! | 10 Oct 2025 | 01:00:07 | |
To every Nurse Leader out there: Are your team members being heard, valued, and invested in - or are they just being managed?🏢 My conversation with Christopher Norman, MSN, APRN, AGPCNP-BC, APHN-BC, GNP-BC on episode 6 of season 4 of the Nursing Strategies for Success Podcast digs into what it actually takes to unify nursing teams - and spoiler alert, it starts with nurturing the human beings behind the badges! ✨ Some Food For Thought Before Listening: ✅ When a patient/resident or family member gets upset - we lay on the customer service and conflict resolution strategies with great effort... ✅ When a patient/resident of family member displays unprofessional, inappropriate or rude behaviors - we understand that they are going through stress and they are having a difficult time coping and we implement therapeutic communication strategies to deescalate tensions... ✅ When a patient/resident or family member makes a complaint or accusation of being mistreated - we send out our best leaders to investigate, mitigate and find resolution immediately... ✅ Despite how difficult it may be to manage the care of our patients/residents and their family members... we always lean into empathy, compassion and a desire to help them through the difficulties they are experiencing... Are you and your Nursing Team Leaders responding to your colleagues, co-workers and direct care Nursing staff in the same ways....? 🤔 You DO NOT want to miss this episode! 🎧 Connect with Christopher here: LinkedIn: Christopher Norman, MSN, APRN, AGPCNP-BC, APHN-BC, GNP-BC | |||
