I'm your host, an ED RN and I hope you'll stick around to listen.

Welcome to It’s An ED RN, on today’s episode we’re going to talk about the career pivot, that point in your nursing life in which the professional track that you have been on is suddenly not the track that you want to be on and you have to make a change. Which is scary. And confusing. And maybe a mistake but hey, we’re here now so we’re just gonna …

on today’s episode we’re going to talk about patient privacy, particularly as it pertains to the involvement of law-enforcement and the lies that they will lie to get you to divulge protected health information that they in no way should have access to. This might get heated. Sources from this episode: https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/index.html https://w…

On today’s episode we’re going to talk about talking to patients. A good interaction with a patient can make your day, as surely as a poor interaction with a patient can ruin it. And although we as individuals are not responsible for the behavior of other individuals, there are some evidence-based ways we can shape our communication to improve the …

On today’s episode we’re going to talk about talking to doctors. For the new nurse, this can be intimidating, for the experienced nurse this can be exhausting, but for most every nurse who’s been around for longer than a minute, this is the source of many a tale told at many an after-work happy hour that is only funny in hindsight. Because being ye…

On today’s episode we’re going to talk about Nurses’ Week; also known, by me, as the week in which anyone with decision-making authority in healthcare spaces chooses to hand out candy and pizza instead of enacting policies to decrease workplace violence, increase pay, or in any way contribute in a meaningful way to the prevention of long-term menta…

Receipt: 31.5%…

On today's episode, we're going to talk about business. Not the first thing you think of when you think healthcare or nursing, but in fact business kind of runs what we do. On a day-to-day basis. And for a lot of us, it can ruin our lives and those of our patients. So let's talk about it. Receipts: Healthcare is big business... ...and not-for-profi…

On today’s episode we’re going to talk about working the holidays. Again. Between the increase in acutely ill patients and the decrease in staff and general resource availability, how could I not be persuaded to show up to work when the rest of the world gets to sleep in. At least the part that’s not heading to my hospital... The WHO shows 25% incr…

On today’s episode we’re going to talk about engaging in a power struggle at work. With so many opportunities to be reminded of the fact that you hold almost no decision making ability over anything, it can be natural to hold on to what small scraps of power you are given; but is this the best use of your time and energy? The answer may surprise yo…

On today’s episode we’re going to talk about how everybody’s everything is the most important thing.

The bonus plan. It's the only surefire way to make the money that more closely resembles what your labor is actually worth, you simply have to work a shit ton more. The obvious upsides are you make more money, the hospital is better staffed, everybody seems to win. But what are the downsides? Let's discuss. The mental health effects of voluntary vs…

My path was simple: start out in med/surg, go to ICU, then become a nurse manager, then director, then ACNO, then CNO, then choke to death on an energy bar alone in my office on a weekend, an unfinished spreadsheet my only witness and friend. And yet, at 40 years old, I'm back to bedside in the Emergency Department. How did this happen? And why am …

The thing about being a nurse is sometimes we don't take our lunch break, but the thing is lunch is the basement. We should be taking lunch breaks, breakfast breaks and nearly-end-of-shift breaks. Less work, more breaks! References: This excellent paper by Stefan D. Arias on how breaks prevent burnout: https://scholarworks.uttyler.edu/cgi/viewconte…

With everything we as nurses are already expected to do, why is it that every other thing is also considered our responsibility? Why are staffing models based on the idea that we will have adequate supplies and support from other departments despite the fact that national shortages and understaffing of every department have become the norm? I, for …

Raise your hand if you've never, in your nursing career, been yelled at by a physician. Zero hands detected. When every nurse you know has a story about being dressed down by a doc, it stops being anecdote; it's endemic. References from this episode: Women are seven times more likely to be misdiagnosed during a heart attack 90% of female docs have …
