    How To Stay Human When Tech Enters the Room

    What if nurses could spend less time charting and more time connecting with patients? At Northwestern Medicine, nurse leaders Sarah Richmond, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, and Karen Mahnke, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, have been piloting ambient listening technology that generates documentation from natural conversations with patients at the bedside. In this episode, they share how nurses are helping to shape this technology and why the future of AI in healthcare may be more human than many expect. "The goal of technology is to make your life easier. So, you have to be willing to push back a little bit, and hopefully there will be enhancements that end up helping your workflow." -Sarah Richmond, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, Patient Care Manager, Northwestern Memorial Hospital "Nursing is a caring profession and there's so much more to it than checking the boxes. I would encourage everybody to not be afraid of [technology] but to use it in a way that it enhances your practice." -Karen Mahnke, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, Bernthal Family Chief Nurse Executive, Vice President, Operations, Northwestern Medicine Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital

    What To Expect in Nursing When You're Expecting

    For nurses, returning to work after having a baby requires balancing patient care with the realities of early parenthood. In this episode of Better, RN, hosts Alyssa Saklak, BSN, RN, CMSRN, and Laurin Henderson, MSN, RN, CMSRN, join Northwestern Medicine Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurses Moira Hoelting, BSN, RNC-NIC, and Kelly Kunkel, MSN, RN, to discuss the transition through pregnancy, the newborn stage and beyond.   They explore returning to work after leave, practicing routines like pumping or childcare in advance, and the importance of building a support system to manage the emotional and practical challenges of being both a nurse and a new parent.   "We are so lucky to work with people that are so supportive … they're always making sure you get out to pump or just take a break. I think we're just lucky to work in an environment that's so supportive of women and new moms." Moira Hoelting, BSN, RNC-NIC NICU Clinical Coordinator, Northwestern Medicine   "For me, it was easier when I actually went back to work than the thought of going back to work. Once I was there, back in the routine of things, things felt better and easier, and I was feeling empowered." Kelly Kunkel, RN NICU Nurse, Northwestern Medicine
