Wow--this episode was so fun to record! Earlier in the week I asked you all to submit some of the misconceptions you have about nurses and nurse practitioners and you really didn’t disappoint! Listen along as I debunk some of your myths and misconceptions about nursing, nurse practitioners, as well as discussing the similarities and differences between NP’s and PA’s. I also discuss the importance of advocating for the nursing profession and education our family, friends, and healthcare team members on what the true role of the nurse and nurse practitioner is. This is a fun one you won’t want to miss!

Today’s episode is dedicated to George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and all other black lives lost to police brutality and social injustice over centuries. In this episode Chase and I unpack our thoughts and sentiments in regard to the current civil unrest not only in our nation, but across the globe. We discuss the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement and its deep roots in our American history. We cover the different between explicit and implicit bias--how it develops from early childhood, what it means for us as individuals in society, and how we can overcome these biases not only in our society, but also in our healthcare systems and as healthcare individuals. Racial injustice IS a public health and healthcare issue and organizations such as the AANP and ANA have spoken up on the matter addressing how we, as nurses, have a moral obligation to advocate for racial justice. This is an episode full of honesty, vulnerability, education, truth, and hope.

How to identify your bias: Project Implicit: Harvard Implicit Association Test (IAT) Here is a tool that allows each of us to discover hidden cognitive biases. Most people are aware of their own overt biases, but it is very difficult for us to become aware of our covert biases. This is a test that can be taken by each individual for their own benefit.

It’s that time of the year again when students are graduating, studying for board exams, and applying for jobs, so it’s important to start thinking about your work environment and what that means for you. In today’s episode of the podcast I get into all the nitty gritty aspects of job satisfaction and work relationships. I start off by explaining the top 5 key factors of overall job satisfaction. Then, I go into the importance of work relationships answering questions like: why have good work relationships? How do you define good work relationships? Who should be focusing your energy on when it comes to developing good work relationships? And finally, how do you actually build those bonds with your peers, colleagues, and coworkers? It’s important to note that anyone can benefit from this episode, whether you’re in healthcare or not. So, tune in today and maybe even come back to this episode as a reminder throughout your practice. Don’t underestimate the power of relationships!

May is Mental Health Awareness month and I am so grateful to have had the honor to sit down today with a dear friend of mine, Matt Yates. Matt and I vulnerably discuss his struggles with coming out in conservative West Virginia, battles with mental health, and most importantly how he has learned to confront his grievances and pay it forward. Matt turned his life in corporate America to a journey of service. He now focuses on life coaching/business mindset, crystal healing, and continuing his journey as a life learner and grower. This is an episode full of truth, honesty, hope, and empowerment that you won’t want to miss!

In today’s episode I discuss how to effectively prepare for your first nursing interview as a newly graduated registered nurse! I discuss appropriate dress, body language, and what to bring with you. Then we dig into the interview itself—what questions the interviewer may ask of you and how to prepare for those questions, what questions you should be asking at every interview, and finally how to negotiate your salary. If you are a new graduate RN (or soon-to-be) this is the episode for you!
