The WoMed

On this episode of The WoMed, D and Dani answer the question: what do nurses actually do? The answer to which turns out to be pretty much everything. The two women’s day-to-day activities vary greatly, as D works in the NICU and Dani in the ICU, but even nurses who work in the same unit often face completely different schedules and responsibilities. D and Dani cover what a typical day may look like for them as care coordinators, dot connectors, and practitioners of hard and soft sciences. Then, they dive into nursing questions including the role of nurses in the background versus foreground, the theory of a nurse as a wounded healer, and what nurses can’t do... which isn’t much, if anything at all!

Today on The WoMed, D and Dani start off by facing a daunting “would you rather” Lubrication Question... and we’d love to hear your thoughts on this one! The two then discuss recent comments made by Senator Maureen Walsh regarding Washington State’s SHB 1155 bill, including that nurses are constantly complaining about being tired and often spend their time playing cards. D and Dani describe why this is, of course, not the case, the need for Critical Access Hospitals, and the pros and cons of the 12 versus 8-hour shift. The Danielles explain why they think it’s important for women to comment on and debate these critical topics in nursing and use their voices to empower all women in medicine. This Nurse D Energy Segment shows why we just love our nurses, and how far little gestures can go.

On the first episode of The WoMed, D and Dani open up about the very different paths that led them to careers in nursing. The two discuss their backgrounds, specialties, and why they chose to start a podcast centered on all things Women in Medicine, a platform that will allow anyone in the healthcare profession to feel empowered and heard, and a safe space to explore often taboo topics. They end the episode discussing this weeks’ Nurse D Energy moments; moments this week that made them feel like the strong, powerful women they are!
