Lights, Camera, Action! by Donna Cardillo, RN, MA, Cardillo & Associates

Lights, Camera, Action!
by Donna Cardillo, RN, MA

I always get excited when I see or hear a nurse on television or radio. It’s probably because we’re hardly ever there! But it’s also because TV and radio appearances offer nurses the opportunity to show the world how bright, articulate, and knowledgeable we are. And while it’s a scary prospect to be on TV or radio — especially the first time —learning the basics and getting a little experience goes a long way to becoming comfortable in front of the camera or microphone. Here are some tips and advice.

Do your homework: Watch or listen to the program ahead of time to become familiar with the format and the host’s style. It’s also helpful to watch and listen to other guests to see how they answer questions. Talk to the host, producer, or studio assistant beforehand when possible. Ask if the program will be taped or broadcast live and how much time you’ll be on camera. Find out what questions you’ll be asked and who else will be a guest on the show or part of the panel, if applicable. While some talk shows have a discussion format, most news shows have a more structured, prearranged format.

Jerry D Gann, RN, CLNC:"It can be very cost effective to use a nurse legal consultant. Start out with a case screening and summary to find out if the case has any merits. Why pay an expensive MD expert $500 to $600 an hour only to find out later that you don't have a meritorious case. If the case has merits, then proceed to use the nurse for any or all of the services offered. You may be surprised to find that there are many cases not involving malpractice that you can get help on. See my Services Offered page."

Should You Incorporate Your Registry Business? By Joseph Caracci, RN:"The short answer is yes! When starting a new nurse registry business, you are entering into a legal business environment that requires you to take steps to protect your personal assets, such as your home, your savings, and your retirement. With this in mind, you need to determine which legal form you are going to take for your new registry.

    Nurse Leadership Helps Treatment of Patients With Multiple Conditions | All Sites Nursing News

    Team care led by a nurse appears to improve patient outcomes in cases of multiple chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and depression.

    Middle-aged patients with multiple conditions who experienced a team treatment approach using evidence-based guidelines improved in blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol control and depression, according to a study in the Dec. 30 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.

    “Depressed patients with multiple uncontrolled chronic diseases are at high risk of heart attack, stroke and other complications,” said lead study author Wayne J. Katon, MD, vice chairman of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle. “We are excited about finding a new way to help patients control these chronic diseases, including depression.”

    Learn How Nursing Leadership Skills can Empower You American Sentinel University White Papers

    There's a chronic problem in the nursing profession: a sense of powerlessness. It creates job dissatisfaction, stress, and burnout. It can lead to ineffective nursing that compromises patient safety or the nurse's role as patient advocate. And it's incompatible with today's increasing emphasis on multi-disciplinary care teams, where collaboration is key.

    Fortunately, there's a positive trend toward workplace practices that empower nurses. And there are ways for staff nurses to learn to step up and become facilitators of change.

    Learn how you can start empowering yourself to effect change - and better patient outcomes - even if you're not in a management position. In this paper, "Powerlessness is Bad Practice: Any Nurse can be a Facilitator of Change," Catherine Garner, DrPH, MSN, MPA, RN, FAAN, Provost and Dean of Health and Nursing Sciences at American Sentinel University, outlines:

    Nurse Leaders as Change Agents, Are We Up to the Challenge? By Beth Boynton, RN, MS

    Are We Up to the Challenge?

    By Beth Boynton, RN, MS

    Most of the work I do as a consultant, author and teacher is grounded in my belief that nurses are intelligent, capable and compassionate professionals who have a huge potential and daunting responsibility to improve healthcare. I believe that efforts to communicate respectfully and create respectful work environments will directly and indirectly lead to providing safe, quality care and experiencing long-term rewarding career paths in nursing. In fact, (at the time of this writing) I am working on a keynote address that focuses on this message for the ANA-WA leadership conference in September.

    Yet, there are times when I work as a per diem staff nurse, I feel frustrated, powerless and despairing. I have one hundred urgent things to do and time to do about 60 of them if I am going to follow protocols and take the time to listen respectfully to all parties. I can take short cuts and do about 80 of them. Add to that an environment with chair alarms, bed alarms, exit-seeking alarms, endless interruptions, new problems and wasted time looking for supplies, and by the end of my shift I am emotionally, physically and intellectually exhausted. And, I didn't do everything I should have.

    Patients, families, physicians, colleagues and administrators have the right to expect skilled, timely and compassionate care, don't they? And I have a right to expect all of these stakeholders to contribute to positive or at least optimal outcomes, don't I? Yet horizontal and vertical violence are huge problems and many of our workplace relationships are dysfunctional. This keeps us fragmented and isolated. Collaboration seems like an obvious way to reclaim our power and have more impact on our system.

    But when resources are not there, how far will respectful communication take us? Sometimes I feel so certain and sometimes I don't know. It seems far too easy for a microscopic view of one of those 100 things that I don't do or do incorrectly to reflect poorly on me rather than the very-broken system I am working in.

    I love teaching assertiveness and facilitating tough discussions during workshops on effective communication, workplace violence, or inspiring nurse professionals. But in all honesty, when I practice what I teach, I realize how hard it is!

    Not long ago I was faced with a situation where my work assignment was unsafe. At first I was stunned to find out I was supposed to be supervising a medication assistant on an adjacent unit. I had my hands full on my own unit and was angry and overwhelmed by this additional responsibility. It was an evening shift and I made it through, but went home exasperated.

    I struggled with coming up with respectful language and process for addressing the issue. I felt some internal inadequacy that I could own and I also felt a sense of disrespect for the work I do coming from the organization. It felt like a set up and I did not sleep well.

    The next morning I called the Nurse Manager and expressed my concerns. She advised me that it was part of my job expectation and encouraged me to talk with the Director of Nurses. I also called the scheduler and left a voicemail message that I did not feel safe supervising in that situation. I said I would be happy to discuss it, but that I would not accept an assignment in that capacity in the future. He didn't call me back, but when I went in several days later, he approached me and told me that he couldn't make any promises.

    I took a deep breath and asked him whom I needed to talk with, as it was not an acceptable answer. He referred me to the DON and I took a deeper breath and knocked on her door. I felt heard and respected at this juncture and have not been placed in this position again. Has it impacted scheduling/staffing in other ways for me? I am not sure.

    I am a national presenter, with a graduate degree and book published and I want you to know that the process of taking this concern up the ladder was extraordinarily challenging for me. In the trenches I see my colleagues and support staff working so hard. They have families to take care of, bills to pay, and hopelessness about their ability to change things.

    I know that I am role modeling healthy communication skills, providing the best care I can and making a difference. I also know I am asking nurses to stretch in personal and professional growth areas that are extremely difficult.

    More and more I see nurse leaders and educators in such critical positions as change agents. Safe and respectful work environments for our staff and patients are critical priorities. Role modeling effective communication, owning our contribution to problems, and providing transformational leadership is indeed, daunting. We need leaders who will help to slow things down and bring back a balance of caring and collaboration into healthcare. I do think we can and I do think we will, maybe not tomorrow, but eventually. And who knows, maybe our efforts will seep into other areas of our world that are moving too fast.

She is a coach, facilitator and trainer for topics related to communication, conflict management, teambuilding and leadership development, and author of the book Confident Voices: The Nurses’ Guide to Improving Communication & Creating Positive Workplaces. She is an adjunct faculty member with New England College’s graduate program in Healthcare Administration and contributing University of Florida faculty for the Forensic Science for Nurses certificate program.
