The Nursing Exodus: Why Staffing Shortages Keep Getting Worse
In episode 84, Amy Yackowski, founder and chief evolution officer of Painted Porch Strategies, discusses the current state of healthcare staffing. Amy shares her extensive experience in the industry, starting from her early days as a call center staffer in a healthcare staffing organization to her current role, focusing on leveraging technology to connect clinicians with healthcare organizations. The conversation delves into the challenges faced by the nursing profession, particularly the significant attrition. Amy explains that many nurses have shifted towards travel nursing or left the bedside altogether in search of more control and autonomy. Our conversation also touches on the differences in employment models between nurses and physicians, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of being an employee versus an independent contractor. We explore how healthcare organizations can better support and retain their staff by fostering a culture that values and sees clinicians as essential resources rather than mere commodities. Join us as Amy provides valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of healthcare staffing and the critical need for supportive work environments to combat burnout and improve job satisfaction among healthcare professionals.
The better quality nurse you have, the greater relationship that you're going to have with those hospitals and health systems. Over time, you build that trust currency. - Amy Yackowski.

Back to School Edition | Pediatric and Adolescent Ophthalmologic Concerns
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD]
Guest: Erick D. Bothun, M.D.
It’s estimated that more than 1 in 20 preschool-age children and 1 in 4 school-age children have a vision disorder. Since the eyes are the source of sensory input for much of the learning that takes place in our children, these statistics take on real importance. Vision problems in childhood can result in developmental delays and are often misdiagnosed as learning disabilities. As adults, we’re aware of changes and problems with our vision. Children who have never known clear vision may not realize their vision is impaired. What are the most common eye disorders in children? How many of our pre-school children are receiving vision screening? What are common signs a child may have a vision impairment? These are just some of the questions I’ll asking my guest, Erick D. Bothun, M.D., from the Department of Ophthalmology at the Mayo Clinic. As part of our “Back to School” Series, we’ll be discussing “Pediatric and Adolescent Ophthalmologic Concerns”.
