I found Sarah about 4 years into my nursing career. As a scared new-ish to ICU nurse, all I felt like I knew was how much I truly didn’t know. Sarah’s humility, kindness, and knowledge makes learning easy and “sticky”- her lessons travel with me. Now as a rapid nurse, I CONTINUE to learn, not just pathophys or pharmacology, but the more important things about how to keep relationships with the nurses we are helping, how to politely question medical decisions, and so much more. This podcast is pe... more
I have been listening to this podcast for a few years now. Even as a new nurse, I found so many tidbits helpful. Even if I didn’t understand the specific topic being a new nurse, there was so much education to glean from each podcast. I especially loved the episode Nurse Gwenny and I’m so grateful that you have collaborated together. Keep up the great work! With love from Arizona.
I really enjoyed your last podcast where you were discussing hiring rapid response nurses and culture is everything! Explaining how a cocky nurse and ultimately a jerk is not somebody I’m going to want to call when my pt is sinking until it’s too late! Attitude is everything especially in our field!!
I have followed this podcast since the beginning, I believe and have enjoyed every episode. I teach nursing and have used some of these podcasts as assignments in my pathophysiology and health assessment courses because they are so helpful in teaching nurses the application of what content I'm teaching. How Sarah breaks down the patho, pharmacology, and nursing management of many disease processes is so realistic and I appreciate how up-to-date they are (I learn from her, too!). I enjoy her inte... more
