Front Line Nursing

Hi Everyone! I was interviewed on the Field Guide to Awesome podcast and am recasting this interview here as it is the beginning of my nursepreneur journey 

During my interview, we talked about:

COVID 19 presented some unique challenges and as the host of five live in-person events scheduled from April to June - COVID 19 became the catalyst for change.  Learn how the entrepreneurial philosophy of "never say no" catapulted these events into an online space where the win-win-win method was applied: No geographical or time limitations, more entrepreneurs showcased, and members gained more value and more content!

Fola Veritas is a Registered Psychiatric Nurse (RPN) who has worked as a member of the crisis unit, in correctional facilities and as part of the safe consumption site team.  We explore the working relationships between nurse and police force, patients, community members and dive into how her own views of support have emerged and are continuing to expand as she looks beyond the traditional methods (detox, rehabilitation) and the “this is how we have done it for decades” processes.

Through her own spiritual emergence, she began to broaden her own perspective of holistic health and challenge the “traditional” definition of care and challenging how we define the unknown as “crazy”  and to look beyond the discomfort to explore other realities and potential pathways.

Her true calling of serving people going through a huge change with a focus on holistic wellness drives her to solutions for answers to the question: What other options are there?

Danielle Klassen studied and graduated from her licensed practical nursing in Ontario in 2007 before moving to Edmonton Alberta in 2008 after a successful job fair.  Advocacy and policy are two guiding values that influence her daily work and it shines through in our conversation.  As a nurse in an acute care family medicine unit, Danielle helps to lead change and improve patient safety outcomes. This is not always easy and we look at some of the barriers in this frank conversation ...that leads us down a political conversation

Do you have questions about how a pandemic changes the care for those with mental health needs?  Michele works inpatient and in emergency and shares some interesting observations during COVID and how the healthcare system is .. or is not ... meeting the needs of the patient.

Michele shares how she found mental health nursing after coming into contact with social workers and nurses during her difficult teen years. She was inspired to help others the way she felt helped during her time of need.

What does one do when they have a psychology degree and had their heart set on being a physician? They shift gears and become a nurse of course!

Realizing nurses were more front line workers and hands-on, Dallas did a 180 on her professional career goals and entered into the LPN program, knowing that her RN degree will be something to achieve as she progresses in her career.

Dallas shares how her military experience as a medic, coupled with her unique advocacy role as a family member of a patient has shaped her nursing today.  Fascinating to listen to her vision of nursing in the ER where she was once a porter was another pivot point for her career changes.
