I had the pleasure of speaking with Wendy Garvin Mayo, APRN, ANP-BC on episode 12 of season 3 of the Nursing Strategies for Success Podcast - and THEN I got to hang with her just a week later at the ELEX Conference - which was incredible - and let me tell you - Wendy is doing AMAZING work to promote excellence in healthcare. ✅

The stress management and emotional intelligence strategies she shares are so ESSENTIAL to the way we perform, live our lives and grow as professionals, and EVERYONE can benefit greatly from the sage wisdom and strategies she's discovered over her years of dedication as a healthcare leader. ✨

In this episode 11 of Season Three of the Nursing Strategies for Success Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jeanette Zocco MSN, RNC-OB, C-EFM, C-ONQS, who is leveraging her decades of experience to transform Nursing teams and workplace culture through advocacy and empowerment of other Nurses.  She has recently authored a book with a two-fold intention:

1. To educate perinatal nurses on quality and safety concepts and various quality improvement tools to bring evidence-based care to the bedside and create safer systems of care (which I personally think can be utilized by all specialties).

2. To serve as a study guide for nurses interested in sitting for the Obstetric and Neonatal Quality and Safety Certification exam (developed by the National Certification Corporation). Key concepts discussed include: strategies to advocate for patient safety, human factors and cognitive biases as contributing factors to medical errors and sentinel events, and how teamwork and quality improvement can help. (Again - I think all specialties can benefit from this book despite the desire or lack thereof with obtaining ONQS certification.)

It wasn't until about 2022 when she realized that she was no longer able to provide the Nursing care that she wanted to, and she became plagued with compassion fatigue and burnout. Today, she is leveraging her Nursing skill, knowledge and passion for helping others and is working on publishing a book that is focused on helping other Nurses reclaim their power to THRIVE within the Nursing Profession - without falling victim to compassion fatigue and burnout - like so many of us do.
