Our next guest doesn’t think of herself as tech savvy- but, my goodness, she has created a highly successful app for nurses, residents, and healthcare professionals. In addition to this creative side, our next interview guest has a passion for the person in front of her- the patient.

Gloria Bindelglass BSN, RN, CEN, CCRN-CMC has been a nurse since 1987. Most of her career has been spent in the Emergency Department. She in an instructor in BLS, ACLS and PALS. Most recently, Gloria transitioned into the role of educational specialist, concentrating on resuscitation. Outside of the hospital setting, Gloria created CARMA fo r Life, a bedside advanced cardiac life support app that guides the provider in real time through cardiac resuscitation. You can also more about CARMA for Life on Twitter or Facebook.

A few take aways from our interview with Gloria include:

• How looking at what’s in front of you- even if it’s a challenge- can help you learn;
• Why not trusting our nursing gut can create the most teachable moments;
• And what being present during life- and death- can teach us about our professional roles!
