Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep.185 - The Role of Clinical Nurse Specialist in Medical-Surgical Nursing With NACNS President Jackie Iseler
Q: How would you describe the CNS role in a way that every bedside nurse can understand?
The CNS is the nurse's nurse who identifies what's working and what's not, helps remove barriers, leads evidence-based practice and quality improvement, and supports both nurses and patients by integrating systems-level changes without crossing into medical management.
Ep. 181 - Getting Real About Bullying in the Nursing Workforce With Renee Thompson
Q: How do you define bullying in healthcare, and why is it so prevalent?
Bullying is not simply any harsh behavior; it is repeated, harmful behavior directed at a target, often under stress. The prevalence in healthcare is tied to high stress, unpredictable work, and interprofessional dynamics, which create conditions where repeated harm can occur if not checked by clear definitions and proactive interventions.
Ep. 154 - Nutrition in Clinical Practice With Special Guest Beth Quatrara (AMSN Members Earn 0.5 CE Hours*)
Q: What should nurses know about GLP-1 medications in the hospital setting?
Nurses should understand the reasons for GLP-1 therapy, recognize common side effects, know when to hold the medication, and consider how to maintain nutrition by adjusting insulin or alternative nutrition strategies while managing the underlying condition.
Ep. 154 - Nutrition in Clinical Practice With Special Guest Beth Quatrara (AMSN Members Earn 0.5 CE Hours*)
Q: How can medical-surgical nurses promote optimal nutrition and hydration before and after surgery?
By screening for malnutrition early using validated tools, avoiding unnecessary prolonged NPO status, coordinating with dietitians, and employing volume-based feeding protocols and updated pump technology to ensure patients receive their full prescribed nutrition.
Ep. 173 Do You Know What You Don't Know About Pain Management (AMSN Members Earn 0.5 CE Hours*)
Q: How should clinicians approach prescribing and dosing when using multimodal analgesia in the Med-Surg setting?
Use scheduling for non-opioids, employ range orders rather than fixed numbers, and involve prescribers to optimize dosing while considering function, intensity, and neuropathic features.
