Every day there are new stories of heroism about nurses—across the Country and around the World. Just NOT from Nurses. Media and the general population, now and in the past, really do NOT have a CLUE what nurses do. Is it because nurses are too busy, tired, burned out and in moral distress to tell their own incredible stories? Although healthcare and nursing are in the news thanks to COVID-19, when was the last time the expert being interviewed was a NURSE? My guest is James Kerridge, Director of Nursing Services at AMITA Saint Joseph Hospital in Chicago, freshly graduated with a DNP from Resurrection University in Chicago, who’s passion for improving the nurse practice environment and advancing the image and public understanding of the nursing profession, was his PRIME focus. We will say the words and shine the light on nurses, the public never hears or sees! Join us at 1 PM ET/12 N CT/10 AM PT.
