    Empowered Nurses, Transformational Change, and a Seat at the Table

    On episode 464 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews nurse and author Jennifer Thietz, MSN, RN regarding how nurses can be empowered to claim a seat at the table and bring about transformational change in healthcare. Ms. Thietz believes that nurses have the intelligence and insight to take part in meaningful conversations that could alter the course of 21st-century healthcare. After all, as the saying goes, if you don't have a seat at the table, you'll probably end up on the menu — and who would want that?
    Jennifer Thietz (nee Marais) is a master-trained nurse and author. She immigrated to California in 2003, where she worked in acute care settings for eighteen years, most of those at the bedside. She has a wealth of experience regarding the changing face of healthcare in the USA and the current needs of nurses.
    In 2016, Jennifer published a book for cancer patients under her maiden name, Jenny Marais, which won multiple awards. In 2023, her chapter "Tribe of Angels: Lessons Learned from Nurses on Resilience during the COVID Pandemic" was part of an anthology that achieved Amazon's International best-seller status. Jennifer is deeply concerned about the healthcare crisis, particularly the fate of nurses suffering from compassion fatigue and burnout. Jennifer's book focuses on self-care and a nurse's movement for transformational change.
    Her new nurse model addresses nurses' working needs and empowers them to lead the conversation on transforming healthcare.

Great experience!

I had the pleasure of first meeting Nurse Keith in person at the Michigan ANA conference. He is inspiring and sincere with a plethora of nursing knowledge and experience in the non-hospital environment. I then had the privilege of being a guest on his podcast which covers so many relevant topics for the profession of nursing and healthcare overall. Nurse Keith is genuine and authentic and I highly recommend following him!
