What does it truly mean to be a successful nurse leader?
Join us in this episode as we explore the essential skills, personal development, and strategies needed to build a successful nursing career and inspire others.
Hello, everybody, and welcome back to Nurse to Nurse Podcast! In today's episode, we explored a topic that lies at the heart of every nurse's career: building a successful nursing career. In this episode, we delved into the critical aspects of building a successful nursing career. We discussed the importance of defining your purpose and why it serves as the foundation of every successful nursing journey. By understanding your "why," you can navigate challenges, stay focused on your goals, and drive impact, just like nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale did.
We also highlighted the significance of personal development, emphasizing the need for continuous education and skill enhancement. Despite the lack of formal leadership training in many healthcare organizations, we encouraged listeners to take initiative. Pursue certifications like Certified Nursing Management Leader, invest in leadership programs, and create your own path to becoming a capable leader.
Additionally, we addressed the disconnect between leadership and clinical competency in some healthcare organizations. True leaders lead from the front, getting their hands dirty, understanding the challenges faced by their staff, and actively participating in patient care. We stressed the importance of managers and directors possessing both excellent people skills and clinical experiences to effectively support their teams.
Lessons that the listener will learn from the episode:
The significance of defining your purpose and understanding your "why" in nursing.The importance of continuous education and skill enhancement in personal and professional growth.How to bridge the gap between leadership and clinical competency to become an effective leader.The role of managers and directors in leading from the front, actively engaging with their teams, and fostering a positive work environment.Strategies to pursue certifications and leadership programs independently to enhance leadership skills.Are you ready to take your nursing career to the next level? Start by defining your purpose and understanding your "why." Invest in continuous education and seek opportunities for personal development. Don't wait for formal leadership training – take the initiative to enhance your skills independently.

Are you ready to embrace the technological revolution in healthcare and nursing?
As nurses, we understand that the modern healthcare environment is different from what it was just a couple of decades ago. We face the pressure of increasingly time-consuming administrative tasks, including extensive documentation requirements that can detract from direct patient care. The good news is, that we're on the brink of a significant transformation that can help us refocus on what matters most – our patients.
Welcome back #nursenation to the Nurse to Nurse podcast! In today's episode, we delved into the fascinating world of emerging technologies in nursing and their potential to enhance patient care. We explored topics like predictive analytics, mobile applications, robotic systems, AI for clinical decision support, and telehealth with remote patient monitoring. While some may find these topics daunting or uninteresting, they are paramount in reshaping the landscape of healthcare and addressing the very real challenges we face as healthcare providers.
We also discussed the incredible potential of telehealth and remote patient monitoring. With the advent of wearable devices and health apps, patients can take charge of their own health like never before. These tools empower individuals to monitor their vital signs, keep their chronic conditions in check, and proactively engage with healthcare professionals, all from the comfort of their homes. As nurses, we have the opportunity to guide our patients in embracing this technology, fostering a new era of preventive and patient-centered care.
Key takeaways from the episode:
Understanding Telemedicine: Telemedicine is more than just video calls; it's a comprehensive approach to providing remote patient care, enhancing accessibility, and increasing patient satisfaction.The Role of Robotics in Patient Care: Robots are not replacing nurses but complementing their roles by performing tasks like lifting patients and monitoring vital signs, thereby reducing the physical strain on healthcare professionals.The Importance of Adaptability: We emphasize the need for nurses to be open to change and willing to learn about and embrace new technologies, even if they seem overwhelming at first.Promoting Patient-Centered Care: By integrating these technologies, nurses can enhance patient experiences, ensuring that care is not only efficient but also personalized, compassionate, and tailored to individual needs.Fostering a Curious Mindset: We encourage listeners to stay curious, explore these innovations, and understand how they can make a significant difference in patient outcomes and overall healthcare efficiency.Advocating for Patient Advocacy: These technologies empower nurses to advocate for their patients effectively, ensuring that they receive the best possible care and are actively involved in their healthcare decisions.By learning about and embracing these lessons, you can position yourselves as leaders in the evolving healthcare landscape, providing high-quality care while embracing the benefits of technological advancements.
Are you using wearables or health apps to monitor your health? Have you witnessed the positive impact of AI on your nursing practice? Let's discuss how these innovations are changing the way we provide and receive healthcare.

Welcome, everyone, to the Nurse to Nurse Podcast, where we engage in candid conversations with Kevin and Starshema. We are truly grateful for your presence today.
In today's episode, Kevin will be taking the spotlight as we delve into the various types of urinary catheters, their proper usage, and potential complications.
Before we dive into our topic, let's take a moment to recap what catheterization entails.
As most of you are already aware, urinary catheterization is a widely employed medical procedure that aids in the drainage of urine from the bladder. It involves the gentle insertion of a slender and flexible tube, known as a catheter, into the urinary tract. This procedure is typically employed when a patient experiences difficulty urinating naturally or when there is a need to closely monitor and manage urinary output.
As healthcare professionals, it is crucial for us to grasp the fundamental principles and techniques of catheterization. By doing so, we can provide the highest standard of care and safeguard the well-being of our patients.
So, without further ado, let's jump right into today's episode where we'll be discussing urinary catheter types, step-by-step instructions, and potential complications.
More of the topics discussed:
1:13 The different types of Foley Catheter
3:24 Why and when to use 100% Silicone Foley Catheter
4:52 What are Coude Catheter
6:03 Look at the risk versus the benefit. Does the patient really need a Foley?
7:17 Understanding patient’s anatomy and the effect of Foley catheter to each
11:12 A BIG rookie mistake when doing CBI continuous bladder irrigation

Welcome back everyone to another episode of the Nurse to Nurse podcast-straight talk with the two skilled nurses Kevin and Starshema!
Today we’re going to talk about medication errors. Some of you might be able to understand our point of view in this episode and some might have the slightest idea or knowledge of the drugs you administer or some of you don't (nobody’s perfect).
Medication is a drug used to diagnose, cure, treat or prevent disease. Not knowing the proper formula or dosage leads to the death of the patient, so it is very important to know all these important factors when administering drugs.
What better way to save more lives is to have the proper knowledge and understanding of medications and dosages. Drugs can be dangerous, though, even when they’re meant to improve our health. Taking them correctly and understanding the right way to administer them can reduce the risks.
And that’s what we’ll be talking about today.
Key points in what we discussed:
04:07 Vulnerability is our greatest strength7:10 Crying is a natural phenomena 18:20 The importance of this medication in nursing33:35 Story of medication errors42:13 What to look out for when giving Nitro for all brand new nurses55:31 High risks medication drugsJoin the conversation in our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/590215372864282

Welcome back everyone to another episode of the Nurse to Nurse podcast-straight talk with the two skilled nurses Kevin and Starshema!
Nursing is considered a hard job and their work stresses can have negative effects on health and quality of life.
In today’s episode, we are going to help you understand the stressful environment nurses experience every day.
But first, let us ask you a question, “Is being an ER and ICU nurse the same?”
You probably know that there are different roles in the healthcare facility as an ER Nurse and ICU Nurse that most people would find hard to respect speciality.
How medication works for all nurses also differs from their experience. Take note that it's an important role of a nurse to educate patients about medications, dosages, and possible side effects. This also helps to determine if nurses had adequate pharmacology knowledge of the drugs they administer.
We also talked about how you manage stress and what you could have done to be able to get back on track and save lives. Although not all stress is negative, even positive stress can have a negative effect on an individual. Sometimes they get stressed about Patients and family members who demand, lack of needed resources to do the work, or even unsupportive workers.
Self-care is not optional in the nursing profession. Nurses can only care for patients if they’ve taken steps to take care of themselves. Therefore, learning how to manage stress as a nurse is the key to enjoying a long and healthy career.
Starshema
