Burnout and overwhelm have almost always been a certainty in the nursing industry. Despite our training to care for our patients, we aren’t necessarily equipped to deal with and manage burnout as a nurse. We are joined in this week’s episode by the wonderful nurse Michelle Gordon, founder of the Health and Happiness Formula and the Healthy Happy Nurse! We talked about her fantastic experience exploring oneself, developing self-awareness, and navigating through burnout and overwhelm. Finding the path to freeing ourselves from burnout and overwhelm takes a lot of work and seeking out the support of people we can trust. The result is being able to create a life you love aligned with your goals, dreams, and desires. If you feel stuck in a rut or perhaps even sometimes find yourself drowning in anxiety, and you want to start the journey to being free from burnout and overwhelm- this episode is perfect for you!  00:46 - Introducing Michelle Gordon 03:20 - Insights about moving around and exploring new things 05:45 - Day in life as an Emergency Nurse 13:00 - Importance of being free from burnout 17:35 - The story behind the passion for addressing burnout 21:10 - Importance of awareness of your burnout 23:20 - Helping people from burnout and overwhelm 29:40 - Working with your past to figure out your future 33:10 - What is Abundance? 35:25 - The power of manifestation Connect with Michelle Gordon Visit her website Follow her on Instagram CONNECT WITH LIAM CASWELL COACHING  Follow @highperformancenursing on Instagram for the latest career and leadership coaching from Liam.  Click here to Join my private Facebook Community "High-Performance Nursing - How to build your healthcare career" where I share all the career tips and strategies to thrive within your career.

Rural hospitals are often praised for their personalized approach of neighbors caring for neighbors, but along with the rest of the healthcare industry, rural providers are not immune to the increasingly less human-centered care that we sometimes see today.

During the summer of 2022, SEE YOU NOW has been on the road meeting new ideas and people and sharing stories about what we’ve experienced in a wide range of healthcare encounters. In this episode we invite you join us at the Aspen Ideas: Health conference.  Aspen’s 60+ sessions are designed to engage a broad audience in the issues that shape our lives, challenge our times, and introduce us to leaders and ideas that chart pathways toward   better health for all. Building on the understanding that reliable, safe, quality healthcare for all depends on a well-trained, energetic, and abundant workforce, the health and wellbeing of clinicians took center stage at Aspen. Despite schools of nursing, medicine, and public health attracting record numbers of qualified applicants, many highly trained health professionals are leaving the field. In this lively panel discussion led by physician and former NYC Health commissioner Dave Chokshi, MD, seasoned clinicians Sandra Lindsay, RN, MBA, Adrian Billings, MD and Siobhan Wescott, MD MPH speak candidly about the exhaustion, debt, and moral injury plaguing the healthcare workforce; the political, financial, and workforce solutions they advocate for; and in spite of -- or because of -- the numerous system-level challenges, why working in healthcare remains a rewarding and promising career choice

Rural hospitals face significant financial strain to the point of closure for more than 140 hospitals since 2010. Additionally, we are seeing many others facing a high and/or immediate risk of closing in the near future. Today, we dive back into this very important topic with our guest, David Usher, Chief Financial Officer at Ray County Memorial Hospital.

In this episode, we talk about leveraging personal Change and Stability and why it's important for Thriving, Resilient, and Unstoppable (TRU) healthcare leaders. We know leaders deal with ongoing challenges and changes daily, and their attention has been on their team and organization. In fact, many healthcare leaders have let go of their personal rituals and routines that bring Stability because of the workload and other challenges brought on by the pandemic. The thing is, without Change and Stability, you'll feel powerless and stuck, and you're at risk of change happening to you instead of you leading the change in your own life. Therefore, Change and Stability is an important personal tension or polarity to manage now with the current healthcare situation. In this podcast, we talk about the importance of recognizing Change and Stability as a polarity and why it's an important tension to manage in healthcare, not only at the organization level but at the personal level, too. We also talk about some actionable steps to help you create personal Change and Stability and some of the negative consequences of not leveraging this polarity.

On episode 387 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Dr. Buffy Lloyd-Krejci, DrPH, MS, CIC, the author of "Broken: How the Global Pandemic Uncovered a Nursing Home Industry in Need of Repair and Heroic Staff Fighting for Change." Dr. Buffy Lloyd-Krejci, also known as "Dr. Buffy: The Germ Slayer", is one of the foremost authorities on infection prevention and control in nursing homes and long-term care facilities such as nursing homes and other underserved and vulnerable populations. Her practice, IPCWell, is headquartered in Phoenix and is devoted to mitigating infectious diseases and inappropriate antibiotic prescribing in healthcare settings to reduce adverse events, infections, antibiotic resistance, readmissions, and death. Dr. Buffy consults with health care facilities across the United States and internationally. Using her experience with more than 700 healthcare facilities across the United States she works tirelessly to combat the estimated 1 to 3 million infections leading to more than 380,000 deaths every year in the nursing home industry. She has worked with the CDC and other organizations on infection control studies and research such as the Arizona Emergency Preparedness Infection Control (EPIC) grant, the Institute of Health (IHI) Project ECHO, a hub-and-spoke knowledge-sharing network to support NH leadership during COVID-19. As a result of her work with more than 200 nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic and over 500 prior to 2020, Dr. Lloyd-Krejci's book describes challenges within the nursing home industry with infection prevention and control prior to the pandemic, the catastrophic consequences of COVID-19, and what actions are needed to improve the quality of care delivered to this vulnerable population now and into the future.

In this episode, we talk about creating a margin in your life and why it’s important for Thriving, Resilient and Unstoppable (TRU) healthcare leaders. We know leaders continue to experience numerous Covid surges, staffing shortages, increasing demands on their work, and other challenges that have kept the work intensity high that causes fatigue leading to exhaustion and burnout. In fact, most healthcare leaders continue to experience pain from the stress and work overload they deal with everyday and trying to balance everything on their plates. In this podcast, we introduce the concept of “margin” in four areas in our lives to achieve balance and some of the underlying polarities. We also talk about some tips on creating margin in your life and some of the negative consequences of not having margin in your life.

In this week’s episode, I am joined by Tara Brandner, a nurse practitioner and infertility “warrior” turned full-time fertility coach. She’s spent the past decade pursuing nursing including a master’s and doctorate degree. She endured a long road through infertility followed by infertility treatments and a traumatic pregnancy.  After experiencing a long road through infertility, she decided she wanted to help couples in their journey to grow their family. Through her experiences as a healthcare professional and personal struggle with infertility, she recognized there are large gaps of care for women and couples struggling with infertility. She chose to change paths to provide a full suite of coaching services and support for those struggling to build their family.  Tara shares her story of infertility, and how her own experience has led to advocating for change after being on the other side of the system. We discuss how she helps patients take back control of their healthcare, the mental health component of infertility, why women aren’t talking about their own struggles in this space, and what can be done in healthcare to help those going through these experiences.    Tune in to this week’s episode to learn: What gaps in the healthcare system Tara noticed from being on the other side How to begin advocating for what you are passionate about  Why women aren’t talking about infertility and how we can change the stigma  What patients can do to take back control of their healthcare How Tara learned to become an entrepreneur in the medical field & start her non-profit    Grab your drink of choice and join the conversation!   Resources Website: tarabrandner.com/  Instagram: www.instagram.com/tarabfertility/   Facebook: www.facebook.com/tarabfertility  LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/tara-brandner-27777643/    Connect with Jennifer George: @bestobsessed_with_jenn | Instagram Jennifer George | Website @jenngeorge08) | Twitter Jennifer George | Facebook Click here to check out my book about connecting and communicating with patients to empower their experiences!

It’s astonishing how many nurses feel anxious about the very thought of not working bedside. Some have assumed nursing as a singular defining identity that limits them from seeing all other opportunities in this industry. In this episode, I join the inspiring Beth Montano in The Autonomic Mind podcast to discuss our experiences in nursing outside the tradition clinical career paths! We explore the importance of raising self-awareness and discovering your identity as more than just being a nurse.

During September, we’re adding our support to National Suicide Prevention Month by listening to Sending Out an SOS, taking this moment to raise awareness of this stigmatized, and often taboo topic to shift public perception, spread hope, share vital information about suicide prevention, and that 988 is the new nationwide, simple, and easy-to-remember number to call or text for help with mental health, substance use, and suicide crises. On April 26, 2020 as New York City was reeling from the first, unrelenting wave of the coronavirus pandemic in the US, Dr. Lorna Breen died by suicide. Despite being aware of and having published on the risks and phenomenon of burnout in emergency care medicine, Lorna was afraid to seek help out of fear it would irreparably damage the career she had spent her entire life building. Her death spurred global awareness, a movement, and national legislation, led in part by her sister and brother-in-law, to reduce burnout of health care professionals, safeguard their well-being, and restore joy to the healing professions.    In this episode, we meet Jennifer and Corey Feist, co-founders of the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation, US Senator Tim Kaine, co-sponsor of the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act, and nurse and researcher Christopher Friese, a national authority on the nursing workforce and healthcare workplace safety to learn about ending the culture of fear regarding seeking mental health support within healthcare, the urgent need for healthcare organizations to build cultures that protect our healers, the importance of making sure that our workforce feels valued and supported at work, and the need to take care of each other and the vulnerabilities that we all have.
