Real talk on communication, collaboration, and trusting your gut. 

Welcome to a special episode of Pulse Check with Archer Nursing! Today, Dr. Morgan Taylor, DNP, CPNP, CCRN, sits down with Dr. Stephen DeMeo, neonatologist and Chief Medical Officer at Archer Review, for a candid conversation about one of the most overlooked—but critical—skills in healthcare: interdisciplinary collaboration. 

From awkward first pages to high-stakes gut instincts, this conversation dives into what really happens when nurses and physicians work with each other instead of around each other. 

What you’ll hear: 

• Why new nurses shouldn’t be afraid to speak up 

• The “nurse gut” and why doctors should listen to it 

• When a text won’t cut it—choosing the right communication method 

• The power of structured tools like SBAR + how to use them well 

• Rapid-fire advice for new grads just starting out 

Whether you’re a brand-new nurse or a med student heading into residency, this episode offers practical, judgment-free insights from both sides. 

Your role matters. Your voice matters. And when nurses and physicians team up with respect and clarity, patient care gets better—period.
