As a Scrub wearing RN with over 15 years in the Hospital Trenches, I've seen my fair share of Code Blues that have made me ask myself the question, "What Am I Doing Here?!? The practice of performing CPR on the elderly as the default setting, regardless of their physical condition makes me wonder, "How did we get Here?!? Or when a family has the "right" of revoking a DNR in order for a surgeon to perform a Life Resuscitating Surgery, how is this the "Right" thing to do? This...
This weeks episode tells the story of my Pawpaw. He was an absolutely wonderful man that was a beacon of Joy wherever he went.

Louise was a librarian and was definitely my "fun" grandparent. She helped formed my sense of humo...
This is the beginning of a 4 part series that details each of my grandparents endings. As an ICU nurse I began seeing death of the elderly population in a whole new light and dealing with my own grandparents endings has forced me to really reflect on how we are dying these days. It's not a pretty view in some of these 12 hour shifts where we as a medical team try to prevent the unpreventable. Death comes to all and we need to talk about it...This is my story of Arthur Wilmer...
I'm going to spend this season laying out my passion for helping people feel empowered by their Medical and Personal Health choices.

I'm excited to bring some clarity on the profession of Nurse Coaching by diving into the profession of Life Coaching a little bit. This season is going to get straig...

We also discuss how our system is morphing into something it wasn't desig...
