Rapid response nurses don’t just handle codes — they help prevent them from happening. Contrary to popular belief, Rapid Response Nursing is not just sprinting from code blue the next and neither is ER nursing.  While there are a lot of similarities between these two specialties in Nursing, there are a lot of differences too. In this episode, Aidan RN shares what it was like to transition from the fast-paced ER to the world of rapid response.We discuss what sets rapid response apart, the mindset shifts that helped him make the switch, and break down cases where their quick action made all the difference — including a subdural hematoma caught just in time, a STEMI with an unusual presentation, and a patient whose only symptom was neck pain.Whether you’re calling rapid response or considering the role yourself, don't miss this conversation on the skills and challenges that define rapid response nursing!Topics discussed in this episode:Why transition from ER to rapid response?Differences between ER and rapid response nursingCase study: discovering a subdural hematomaThe role of intuition in rapid response nursingBest practices to work with rapid response nursesAdvice to nurses considering Rapid Response NursingLearn more about what it’s like to be a Rapid Response Nurse!https://www.aacn.org/blog/exploring-the-world-of-rapid-response-nursesMentioned in this episode:CONNECT 📸 Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therapidresponsern/ 🫶 Check out my membership: https://www.rapidresponseandrescue.com/community 📚 Check out my course: https://www.rapidresponseandrescue.com/learnmore 🧑‍💻Check out my website: https://www.rapidresponseandrescue.com/ 📬 Subscribe to my newsletter: https://www.rapidresponseandrescue.com/login 🎁 Affiliation and discounts: https://hoo.be/therapidresponsern ✅ Earn CE’s for listening to podcasts through RNegade: https://rnegade.thinkific.com/?ref=d9d541 SAY THANKS 💜Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/rapid-response-rn/id1535997752 💚Leave a rating on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/55LQqeDg6XFeixvZLEp4xE ⏱️ To get the FREE Rapid Response RN Assessment Guide and the coupon code for $10 off the cost of the course, message Sarah on Instagram @TheRapidResponseRN and type the word PODCAST!

In this episode of Beyond Clinical Walls, Dr. Bayo underscores the importance of comprehensive eye exams, which reveal more than just vision issues—they can indicate overall health concerns as well. Joined by Dr. Donahue, an optometrist with deep family roots in eye care, the discussion illuminates how routine eye examinations are a crucial aspect of preventive health care. Dr. Donahue highlights that eye exams can detect early signs of systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, long before other symptoms manifest. This episode reveals that an optometrist's role extends beyond prescribing glasses or contacts; they are pivotal in catching health issues early through the unique vantage point of eye health. The conversation also tackles common misconceptions about eye health, emphasizing that good vision does not negate the need for regular eye check-ups. Dr. Donahue shares insights on the critical differences between vision tests and thorough eye health examinations, stressing that both adults and children should undergo regular eye assessments to catch issues like glaucoma—often dubbed the "silent thief of sight"—before they cause severe damage. Dr. Bayo and Dr. Donahue discuss actionable tips and resources available for those who may not have direct access to eye care due to financial constraints, highlighting programs that provide essential services for eye health maintenance and care.

In this deeply personal and informative episode, hosts Marianne and Christy are joined by panelists Jean Lee, Ann Campanella, Loretta Woodward Veney, and David Iverson, all caregivers for ten or more years, as they explore the five pillars of caregiving – emotional toll, physical strain, financial difficulties, social isolation, and coping strategies. Key Themes & Takeaways: Emotional Toll: Caregivers shared moving personal stories of grief, guilt, and anger while navigating their loved ones’ dementia journeys. There is strength in allowing yourself to grieve, as highlighted by Ann Campanella, who stated, “Grieving clears the way to bring in joy and beauty.” Physical Strain: From exhaustion to disruption of sleep cycles, the taxing demands of caregiving impact physical health drastically. David emphasized practicing self-care through exercise and staying physically active as a necessary coping mechanism. Financial Difficulties: A significant challenge highlighted was the cost of care, with inputs from Jean, Loretta, and Dave emphasizing the overwhelming need for better elder care policies. Loretta noted how caregivers should proactively explore local programs like Medicaid waiver lists early on for financial support. Social Isolation: Many caregivers expressed feeling isolated, especially given the stigma surrounding dementia diagnoses. Loretta found joy in keeping her mother socially active, even organizing creative activities like Lego building to keep her mother engaged. Strategies for Coping: Incorporating joy into daily routines was a recurring theme, especially for Loretta, who promised her mom “a little bit of joy every day.” The authors shared reminders to stay connected with loved ones and leverage support groups for affirming connections and shared experiences.

In early March HIMSS Global (https://www.himssconference.com/), the currently biggest global gathering about healthcare IT took place Las Vegas. A few tens of thousands of people visit HIMSS Global every year, it can take 20 minutes to get from one session to another in another building, therefor preparation and planning are key. This year, the key topic seemed to be how are companies embedding AI in their solutions. Hospital leaders talked about cybersecurity, and political uncertainty impacting the future of digital health development. I asked a few participants at HIMSS Global, who are also speaking at HIMSS Europe in Paris in June 2025, about their reflections on the content at HIMSS.  You will hear from: Guido Gunti, Chief Digital Officer at St. James Hospital, Ireland Mathew Little, Chief Nurse Information Officer (CNIO) & Associate Chief Nurse, Gloucestershire Hospital NHS Trust, UK  Rasu Shrestha, Executive Vice President, Chief Innovation & Commercialization Officer at Advocate Health, USA, Henrique Martins, Associate Professor in Health Management & Leadership, Portugal, Rachel Dunscombe, CEO of openEHR International www.facesofdigitalhealth.com https://fodh.substack.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@facesofdigitalhealth
