Don't Eat Your Young: A Nursing Podcast Beth Quaas

Jenn Johnson has been an ER nurse in Canada for many years. Through those years she was bullied and had to leave jobs because the toxic people she was working with were never dealt with, so she decided to move on. Jenn takes us through three different times she was bullied and how she dealt with each one based on her past experiences and how she grew every time it happened. 

With all of her experience at the bedside, she also realized that she could use her intuition, that gut feeling we all get sometimes, to get her patients the care they need much more quickly than if she waited for lab and diagnostic tests to come back. Her colleagues respect her as she uses her intuition to quickly communicate with others to get patients treated before they become even worse off. 

Jenn is waiting for her book, Nursing Intuition, to be published this fall. In the book, she will talk more about the science behind using intuition and how she incorporates it into her care of patients. Jenn has a wealth of information to share and I cannot wait to read her book when it comes out. You can find Jenn at www.nursejenn.ca. Check out her work!

Karen Doiron knows that we don’t have to keep living with the stress we are used to and she wants to help nurses live healthier lives. In this episode, Karen shares some simple strategies that we can incorporate immediately to help us feel better today.

Summary:
Karen Doiron is The Rest RN and her goal is to improve the lives of nurses by teaching them to recognize and decrease their stress levels. She offers simple strategies that can be done at any time of the day. In her coaching, she also helps nurses set boundaries and develop awareness for what our bodies are telling us in relation to stress.

The 3 pillars of The Rest RN are Rest, Reconnect and Restore. Karen says that resting is the state in which we heal and where our creative side lives. She knows that nurses find difficulty in being able to relax and take time to do nothing. Our brains tell us that periods of rest make us feel non-productive because we are used to always being on the go. This is increasing our stress and making it harder to break the cycle.

Connecting with ourselves, which is what Karen helps her clients to do, will teach us to listen to our bodies, set healthy boundaries and start living healthier lives. Thank you to The Rest RN for helping to improve the health of nurses. Let’s keep this conversation going!

Kerry Johnson has worn many hats in her time as a nurse: bedside nurse, FNP, and Functional Medicine NP. What better person than her to teach the new nurses coming into the profession. Listen today to hear how Kerry got into education and how her passion for health turned her to functional medicine.
ABOUT KERRY
Kerry Johnson had been working as a nurse for several years when she decided to get her family nurse practitioner certification. Once she received that degree and was seeing patient’s in the clinic, she noticed how she wasn’t preventing disease, but just treating it. Patients were getting sicker and the healthcare system in which she was working just didn’t seem right to her. So she decided it was time to help patients in a different way and became certified in functional medicine. With that new knowledge and passion, she also decided it was time to teach others how to prevent disease, for their health and the health of their patients.
Kerry is now seeing patients her way by getting to the root of the problem and finding a way to help them get better, without just band-aiding the issues. I know firsthand how Kerry can help with many ailments and can’t speak highly enough of her compassion and knowledge for helping others. She is a great educator, for her patients and her students.
