Join me for a Nurses’ Week Celebration…2021

National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th, Florence Nightingale’s birthday.

International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world on May 12th of each year, and this year, once again, the theme for Nurses Week continues…the year of the nurse and midwife.

The Coronavirus has shifted priorities; hospitals and health systems would now be finalizing plans for The Year of the Nurse, and the opportunity to celebrate nurses and nursing. Nursing the World to Health is precisely what we are doing!

Priorities may have shifted, but nurses remain on the frontlines 24/7/365, providing care, often with limited resources, and making us proud.

In the midst of social distancing, anxiety, and fear of the unknown, and to honor all that you do,  I’ll provide a series of complimentary sessions addressing key topics for the nursing community:

Wednesday, May 5, 2021 – 11 am ET

  • Compassion Fatigue

Today, more than ever before, compassion fatigue is a possibility. Awareness of the problem is critical to developing an intervention. We find ourselves wanting to be all things to all people, and we realize that we cannot do it.

Objectives:

  1. Discuss signs of compassion fatigue
  2. Describe coping strategies
  3. List possible interventions

Friday, May 7, 2021 – 11 am ET

  • Life as a Balancing Act- Family Matters

We all have responsibilities, whether caring for children or elderly parents or pursuing personal interests, activities, or hobbies. Some of us are in the “sandwich generation; we’re juggling the challenge of homeschooling and vulnerable parents or family members. We must be equipped to resolve personal and workplace issues, juggle conflicting responsibilities and balance personal and workplace roles. Are you ready to learn how you can balance your act – when family life matters?

Objectives

  1. Identify challenges of work/life balance during a pandemic
  2. Discuss the power of three
  3. List 3 ways to ensure that family matters

Sunday, May 9, 2021 – 11 am ET

  • Stress and Crisis Management

Watching TV, listening to special reports, reading the newspaper (online or live), we have been inundated with reports that stress us to the point of exhaustion. Our ability to interact as members of teams drives our sense of belonging, inclusivity, collaboration, and trust. The Coronavirus has shifted our focus, leaving team members frustrated, tired, and anxious. As a team, you care for others, well aware of their fears, while concern mounts about transmission to your own family, exposure, and overall well-being. Social distancing has removed our ability to reach out and touch someone, to hold a hand, to wipe a brow, and to enjoy fellowship.

I’ll share tips for surviving and thriving during a pandemic. Yes, you can make time for yourself, stay in touch, exercise, stay safe, and keep your distance. This is your chance to learn how.

Objectives

  1. Describe anxiety levels around Covid-19
  2. Identify tips for surviving and thriving
  3. Discuss the gratitude gap

Tuesday, May 11, 2021 – 11 am ET

  • Self-care is not selfish

Now is the time to be your own cheerleader; I’ll share content related to Self-Care along with a 32-page Playbook featuring a special section on Tips and Techniques for Self-care.

Objectives 

  1. Discuss healing environments 
  2. Read and interpret your body’s signals 
  3. Describe mindset

Success Comes to Those Who Publish

An incredible feeling of success comes to those who publish!  The hallmark of a professional is the ability to share knowledge through speaking, coaching, training, facilitating, and yes- through publishing. 

I recall my first published manuscript in a professional nursing journal; I was thrilled to see my name in print, to read my content (which I then critiqued), and to know that journal readers throughout the country and beyond would be reading my words.  Since that time, I published forty-three peer-reviewed manuscripts and guest editorials in that particular journal and over one hundred in other journals. One of those manuscripts was titled, “Writing for Publication.”

Clear, precise writing is an excellent vehicle for communicating ideas and why not write about something you know well- something about which you are a content expert?  How does one begin? Try these 5 steps to success as you begin to share your knowledge:

  • Choose your topic well (Be able to answer why and what)
  • Research your intended (target) publication by knowing what they publish and why
  • Separate the thinking and writing phases, understanding and appreciating the writing process
  • Follow author guidelines and be prepared for revisions and editing
  • Respond in a timely manner to editorial requests and deadlines

I recall my first published manuscript in a professional journal.  Now, it is your turn to enjoy your first time in print, or perhaps one of many times in print. The feeling remains the same- that of accomplishment and a thirst for more. There is something magical about the word, “ACCEPTED.”  Success truly comes to those who publish!

Can you start an IV on the patient in room C?

I began my infusion nursing career in the emergency department at University Hospital, Tamarac, FL.  I was working with an arrogant (imagine that) physician when a patient entered our facility with chest pain.  He asked me to start an IV, and I had never done an infusion.  I had come from an academic environment in which nurses monitored the lines that were placed by members of the medical staff.  Dr. J told me, “Any fool can do it…just read the label.”  Well, I read the label and the policy/procedure, and I did it. imagesixi8m4sf

As a matter of fact, I did it with such ease that I decided that I had indeed identified my niche within nursing.  But, if I was to be an infusion nurse, I needed to know more.  So I found a book entitled Plumer’s Principles and Practice of Intravenous Therapy, and I purchased that book and carefully read it from beginning to end.  I was lucky to have a mentor; he was a PharmD who aligned me with an anesthesia group for specialized training.  The rest is history.  Four years later, I was the president-elect of our professional society and the author of the ongoing chapters of Plumer.  So who was ‘Plumer?’  The name Ada Plumer is synonymous with infusion therapy. A leader, pacesetter, and co-founder of the professional society, Plumer set the tone for our professional practice, served as a mentor to many nurses, and encouraged excellence in the delivery of intravenous nursing care.  Ms. Plumer wrote, “In spite of the increasing use and importance of parenteral therapy, little training is required of the average therapist to carry it out. It is considered sufficient by some that the therapist is able to perform a venipuncture. This does not contribute to the optimal care of the patient whose prognosis depends on quality intravenous therapy. The purpose of this book is to present a source of practical information essential to safe and successful therapy.” Ada Plumer was a visionary; little could she know that the knowledge base would expand to such a critical level and that infusion nurses would advance from novice to expert, continuing to educate nurses through their findings, their practices, and their research.

1914592_10205063511502045_5956789356282388030_nFrom my first entry into this rapidly changing field to today, I have used Plumer’s book as a reference, a guide, and a bible for professional practice. Plumer’s retains its position today as the only complete source of information available to the practicing clinician, student, and educator.  The growth of our practice is likewise a result of her initial efforts; we remember her with great respect.  She set the standard and raised the bar!  I was privileged to be chosen as the author of the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th editions. Plumer’s is still in the title, but it is by Sharon M. Weinstein.  What an honor to have earned my place in infusion therapy history, simply because I read the label, the procedure, and purchased the book.  That opened the door to opportunity…to lead infusion teams nationwide, and to serve the professional society as national president and chair of the certification corporation.  The rest is indeed history…

I’ve come a long way since that day back in Tamarac, FL, because I started the IV on the patient in room C.
