Very engaging and informative. Terrific story telling approach to teaching patho, critical care, and the role of the nurse from many varied perspectives.
Great podcast, love to learn and refresh different topics
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!!
