Episode 8: Can Nursing Survive the COVID-19 Pandemic?

18m · On the Pulse Podcast · 21 Oct 17:05

According to Cynda Rushton, Anne and George L. Bunting Professor of Clinical Ethics at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, the answer is yes. But the profession and the greater health care system must be ready to take some advised and intentional steps forward. This starts with acknowledging and assessing the wounds of the pandemic, and then developing solutions to better prepare health systems and clinicians with tools to meet the challenges in the future. On this episode, Dr. Rushton discusses the current state of nursing, the new report on preparing nurses to practice with resilience and integrity, and a message of hope for the future.  Podcast References and Resources: R³ – the Renewal, Resilience and Retention of Maryland Nurses Initiative Mind the Gap: Preparing Nurses to Practice with Resilience and Integrity American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials Continue the Conversation @CyndaEthx @JHUNursing @TamarRodney

The Resilient Nurse, Episode 11: Meaningful Recognition

While nursing is one of the most rewarding professions, it is also one of the most challenging, which can lead nurses to feel underappreciated and resentful. Practicing meaningful recognition in the workplace creates a greater sense of fulfillment, retention, and resilience. Guest Dr. Cynthia Sweeney, Vice President Emeritus for Nursing at the DAISY Foundation, and Dr. Cynda Rushton talk about it in the latest episode of the Resilient Nurse podcast. The Resilient Nurse is a special series within the On the Pulse podcast. This podcast discusses the complexities, misconceptions, and pathways toward keeping a resilient workforce; and shares tools and practices nurses can use to renew and amplify their resilience.

Episode 34: Nurse Practitioners for All

Nurse practitioners are the fastest growing occupation in the U.S., and will be for the next decade. They represent the highest median salary among the other top 10 fastest-growing professions, and are in such high demand in part because of the shortage of physicians and the aging baby boomer population. Nurse practitioners are able to fill many gaps in care, like mental health and primary care, and also represent a very accessible health care career path. Host Tamar Rodney is a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and today’s guest, Danielle McCamey, is an acute care nurse practitioner. Dr. McCamey is the Assistant Dean for Strategic Partnerships at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, as well as the founder of DNPs of Color, a networking, mentorship, and advocacy organization for DNP-prepared nurses of color. Listen as they dig into all the best things about the profession, and since it’s also black history month, into how the profession uniquely serves multicultural communities as well.
