Episode Description
Robin and Catherine are rolling out an innovative way to teach nurses and lay people simple as well as more complex care of wounds using latest technology and newest products to bring the information to the bedside, rather than in a book, on a shelf, somewhere far away. This should be an interesting conversation on a subject that has become a specialty in Nursing and healthcare, due to the infinite complexity of dealing with skin problems. Robin is the specialist, with a 20 years of expertise and ingenuity. Catherine is helping him translate this information to healthcare organizations, pharmacies and hopefully individual nurses and family caregivers.
Once a Nurse, Always a Nurse
Monday at 10 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Health and Wellness Channel
There are SO many issues in healthcare that impact medical/nursing providers and patients alike, but each of them may not see the connections to themselves. This show will be a forum for nurses to tell stories about their own experiences, whether professional or family-focused and guests will inspire conversation on health and nursing-related topics. Issues will vary from communication in healthcare to current issues, such as nurse/patient ratios, dealing with conflict, how to create cooperative workplaces, speed-reading people, as nursing strikes and much more. Government policies are creating a major shift for all healthcare providers as well as their patients. We, as nurses, will be creating the future healthcare paradigms as we move forward, becoming a crucial part of the solutions. “Once a Nurse, Always a Nurse: Exploring the World of Nursing” is broadcast live every Monday at 10 AM Pacific Time on the VoiceAmerica’s Health and Wellness Channel.
