In this episode, Lisa and Kevin discuss the importance of accurate triage in emergency departments and its impact on patient outcomes. They critique current triage models that prioritize metrics such as length of stay and door-to-physician time over patient outcomes. They remind us that a thorough nursing assessment is essential for patient safety and effective care. The episode highlights the disconnect between business-driven metrics and the clinical reality of patient care.
I found this episode from 2022 never posted so I updated the episode, but it didnt show up as a new episode so this is the repost. In this episode, Kevin and Dr. Wolf talk about emergency nurses floating out to the department into other areas. Hopefully, this doesn't happen often but we talk about what to expect when it happens and how not to kill your floor patients.
This episode of HNTKYP features Kevin and Dr. Lisa Wolf discussing anxiety. They explore the complexities of diagnosing anxiety, emphasizing the importance of ruling out serious underlying conditions before attributing symptoms solely to anxiety. They stress the importance of not dismissing physical symptoms like tachycardia, tachypnea, and numbness as mere anxiety until ruling out all other potential causes. Remember that even patients with anxiety can still have medical problems. Tune in to learn more about how to effectively triage potential anxiety in the ED and ensure that no patient's symptoms are overlooked.

This episode of HNTKYP Kevin and Dr. Lisa Wolf take a deep dive into the high-stakes world of shock management. Why does it matter you ask? If you miss the early signs of septic shock, and 30% of those patients won’t make it home. This episode provides a comprehensive overview of the different types of shock – hypovolemic, distributive, cardiogenic, and obstructive – detailing their causes, signs, and appropriate treatments.
This episode of HNTKYP delves into the crucial distinction between merely knowing nursing protocols and truly understanding them. Kevin and Dr. Wolf discuss the importance of nurses not merely performing tasks or following protocols blindly but grasping the underlying pathophysiology and the reasoning behind the actions they take and the medications they give. This episode highlights the importance of critical thinking and the application of knowledge in nursing to prevent errors, enhance patient care, and, fundamentally, avoid causing harm.

This episode of HNTKYP takes a no-holds-barred look at burnout among emergency nurses, and it's not for the faint of heart. We're getting real about the brutal reality of the emergency department, where the relentless pressure cooks even the toughest among us. We talk about how burnout not only affects the nurse, but the team and most importantly the patient. It's a deep dive into the dark side of nursing, where stress isn't just a part of the job—it's the job. But it's not all doom and gloom; we're also tackling how to fight back, recognize the warning signs, and protect both our patients and our sanity.
