This is the inaugural episode of Revolution RN. I sit down with my friend Lace Velk BSN, RN, PCCN. Lace is a good friend who has been growing up with me as we aspire to be in the discussion of what good healthcare is from a nurses perspective and what we do and you can do to make this a productive effort.
We discuss what led Lace to decide it was time to take action and become a leader in nursing. We eventually lead to this experience as a front line caregiver in the Covid 19 pandemic. We share are hopes and fears of what we are told is a new reality in healthcare. Lace is kind enough to share her experience how the pandemic has affected her family life personally.
This is the first of many conversations I plan to have with the great, caring, wonderful, and inspiring people you meet along the way when you decide to walk the path of change.
Lace is a Cardiology Nurse and chairs her unit based council
She serves on the Cabinet on Nursing Practice and Research of Oregon Nurses Association
