Meet Kirsten Ferren, a nurse who has been serving in healthcare for over 23 years. She brings to the table her experience as a former Chief Nursing Officer and currently holds the position of Vice President of Patient Care. She is also an author, mentor, and leadership consultant at the company she owns, Nursing Inferno Coaching. We had a stimulating conversation about how leaders can show up for those they lead, strategies that help prevent staff burnout, and the qualities that nurse leaders should possess. Kirsten has a passion for developing leaders who value authenticity and connection as essential leadership skills, as well as kindness. I love what she said about kindness! Kirsten's dedication to supporting and developing nurse leaders is apparent, and she strongly believes that how we lead others is critical to changing the culture of nursing.
In the five-minute snippet: between giant hamsters, tiny elephants, and duck-sized horses, this was a crazy five minutes of fun! For Kirsten's bio, visit my website (link below).

What happens when two friends have cocktails and dish on a movie? Magic, pure magic. My first returning guest this week is Patrick Pickarts. Patrick debuted in episode 56 when he told us all about being a nurse in tech. And if you don’t remember him, well, how could you forget about Patrick, it would be like putting Baby in a corner and nobody puts Baby in a corner (Let’s see how many movie references I can get in here). In episode 56, Patrick referred to the hit movie, The Devil Wears Prada and gave me some flack about not having seen it. So right then and there, I committed to watching and inviting him back for an episode in which we give our commentary. It's been seven months since I made that commitment and all I can say is TEMPUS FUGIT- time flies! I recently celebrated my 60th birthday and have vowed not to let time slip away from me because I found out what the secret to life is: friends. Best friends. Patrick is my friend and I could not let this promise go unfulfilled. In the end, instead of the five-minute snippet, I test Patrick’s knowledge with Prada trivia (if you ask me, I’m not sure he’s even seen it!) Sit back, relax, and enjoy your low-calorie popcorn and assorted confections. Well, here goes nothin’! For Patrick's bio, visit my website (link below).

Meet Haley Diltz, an exceptional woman who had a childhood dream of being Indiana Jones but instead grew up to become a Neurotrauma ICU nurse. She knew early on she had an affinity for the dying and helping families navigate through some of life’s most tragic experiences.

It took one very tragic experience in the ICU for Haley to take pause and re-evaluate how she could better serve the dying and is now dedicating her career to end-of-life and palliative care.

Haley founded Third Eye Nurse, LLC, offering burnout education, integrative health coaching, and doula services for end-of-life care. She became a death doula, and her expertise as a certified death educator has allowed her to promote accessible and inclusive death care, looking at death, not solely as a physical event, but also as a mental, emotional, and spiritual transition.

Through the education of nurses and patients, Haley destigmatizes death and dying by valuing the sacredness and creativity that can exist when we find the courage to participate in and acknowledge death, not only as a natural process, but a natural part of life. And she is making a difference, one death at a time.

In the five-minute snippet: She’s a witchy woman. For Haley's bio, visit my website (link below).
