Nursing Strategies for Success Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

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! ⚖️

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....? 🤔

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jennifer Thietz, RN, BSN, OCN, MSN, who started her Nursing career in South Africa, then came to California where she gained decades of experience as a Registered Nurse. It wasn't until about 2022 when she realized that she was no longer able to provide the Nursing care that she wanted to, and she became plagued with compassion fatigue and burnout. Today, she is leveraging her Nursing skill, knowledge and passion for helping others and is working on publishing a book that is focused on helping other Nurses reclaim their power to THRIVE within the Nursing Profession - without falling victim to compassion fatigue and burnout - like so many of us do.

Jennifer shares how Nurses really CAN do anything they want within their careers, and there is so much inspiration, wisdom and positive energy in this episode - You don't want to miss it! 🎧

In this special episode of the Nursing Strategies for Success Podcast, I am sitting in the Honolulu Airport waiting for my return red-eye flight to NYC and just simply beaming in gratitude for such an amazing experience! 

The Nurses Making Waves retreat was a truly transformative experience. The retreat was expertly planned and executed, with a perfect balance of educational sessions, self-care activities, and opportunities for socialization. The speakers were knowledgeable and engaging, delivering insightful presentations that left attendees (me included) feeling inspired and motivated. 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. From yoga and meditation to nature walks and massages, there was something for everyone. The spa-like setting and the beautiful surroundings only added to the overall experience. Overall, I would highly recommend the Nurses Making Waves retreat to anyone looking to rejuvenate and re-energize. It was a fantastic opportunity to step away from the demands of work and focus on personal growth and professional development. I came away from the retreat feeling refreshed, inspired, and ready to tackle the next challenge.

In Episode 2 of Season 3 of The Nursing Strategies for Success Podcast – I had the pleasure of speaking with Robert Wingo, BSN, RN, RN-BC of InformaticsNurse.com  – where he shares SO MANY AMAZING RESOURCES that can help empower Nurses and Nurse Leaders to level up their knowledge and LOVE for data-driven results! The main focus of our conversation was surrounding the need for improving Nursing's understanding of how to better manage budgets, allocate for more resources and get members of the C-Suite to provide MORE support for Nursing Departments, Staff, Benefits and Education! One thing that he shared with me is that MANY organizations have flawed budget calculations -often shorting projections, which causes major losses and only further exacerbates our current healthcare climate. With the knowledge of knowing the flaw and using calculations that will better help Nurse Leaders manage their resources - we can improve our working conditions and bring the hard data back to leadership to gain buy-in for more resources and support!  You don’t want to miss this really interesting and empowering discussion! 🎧
