THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER


SOMEONE SCREAMED FOR HELP ON THE SCHUYLKILL RIVER TRAIL. NO ONE STOPPED.

Yet, while waiting by the tent for emergency responders to arrive, I could not
grasp how so many Philadelphians could pass by a person in duress. At best, the
runners and walkers and cyclists were hoping someone else would stop and take
care of it; at worst, they did not care enough to care.

A MOM AND DAUGHTER DEBATE: SHOULD KIDS BE IN SCHOOL RIGHT NOW? | PRO/CON

The COVID-19 surge has families worried, sometimes pitting kids who want to go
to school against their parents. A mother and daughter make their cases for and
against in-person school.

IN, 2021 IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PRIORITIZE WHICH BAD THING TO PROTECT YOUR
KID FROM FIRST

From the time your kid is born, you fall in love with them so hard and care so
deeply that all you want to do is spend every waking second trying to protect
them and keep them safe. However, the complexity of this has gotten harder over
the years in our current environmental, social, and political climate,
significantly heightened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESTAURANTS NEED TO TAKE FOOD ALLERGIES MORE SERIOUSLY

There is no bigger fear for a parent with a kid who has food allergies than
hearing the dreaded words, “I think I’m having an allergic reaction.” As someone
who is both a parent and a person living with food allergies, these words send
me into a complete state of panic. Never being able to protect my kid or me
fully is very disconcerting. But as parents and individuals with food allergies,
we can only do so much. We need restaurants and the food-service industry to
begin taking responsibility for the safety of the patrons they serve.

PATIENTS AND FAMILIES SUFFER AS COVID-19 KEEPS VISITORS OUT OF HOSPITALS

In normal times (pre-COVID-19), going to the hospital for an illness or injury
is extremely stressful and scary for both the patient and their loved ones.
During COVID-19, that stress and anxiety are amplified due to the visitor
restriction policies implemented by some hospitals under the guise of preventing
the spread of the virus.

THERE’S TOO MANY VARIABLES FOR SCHOOLS TO BE TRULY SAFE SPACES

Philadelphia area schools, like those across the country, are grappling with how
to safely reopen in the midst of a pandemic. The U.S. is worse off now than when
schools closed in March, with record-breaking case counts reported daily. Though
Philadelphia cases are tentatively stable, cases in Pennsylvania and surrounding
counties are increasing.



HUFFINGTON POST



PARENTING: I ALMOST DODGED THAT BULLET

As a researcher myself, I believe they asked the wrong question. I don't think
having a kid ruined my life, on the contrary, I am a better person because of my
daughter;

THE TRUE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

The holidays are fully upon us and we would all do well to remember the power of
kindness this holiday season. That is what the holidays are about, that is what
I want to build my kid’s holiday memories on, and that is what will make all
hearts grow 3 sizes.

I SUFFER FROM MEMORY LOSS...AT LEAST I THINK I DO...I REALLY CAN'T REMEMBER

It’s hard to write your own story, your truth, when you can’t remember it. Close
to 20 years ago, I had three concussions over a very short period of time,
during a period of time when treatment for concussions went a little like this:
“Shake it off and get back in there!”.

FOSTERING: MY FAMILY'S EXPERIENCE OPENING UP OUR HOME

Philadelphia is home to the city’s open intake shelter, the Philadelphia Animal
Care and Control Team (ACCT) — though I’d argue the care is used quite liberally
in this context - and also one of ACCT’s “rescue partners”, the Pennsylvania
SPCA (PSPCA). For those who have never stepped foot into an inner city animal
shelter, it’s an awful place — for the people and for the animals. Which is why
it is vital to foster and adopt — not buy!

WE AS A COUNTRY NEED TO RISE UP

The hope in the beginning of this experiment, when we declared our independence
from another oppressor, was that if a strong enough foundation was laid, it
would create a great nation. And though it has sustained us for over 240 years,
we have yet to be that great nation to the many diverse populous who live here.

FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY

“Feel the fear and do it anyway”, that has been my motto my entire adult life,
ever since I began having allergic reactions and anxiety attacks. I have a
superhero complex and like to think myself invincible, but my immune system
states otherwise. My kryptonite comes in the form of shellfish (shrimp, lobster,
crab etc).

PROFESSOR WATCHLIST: WHO IS BEING TARGETED

Last month the website Professor Watchlist, created by Turning Point USA, began
capturing the identities of professors who teach at academic institutions,
allowing students to report professors who “advance a radical agenda". To better
understand the demographics of those being reported, we performed a descriptive
analysis of the publicly available data.

 

KEEP AMERICA ON A PATH TO GREATNESS

Our country over its 240 year history has moved at glacier speeds toward
justice, with an irreconcilably slow march toward greatness, mixed with more
hate than great. Slowly, steadily, though, greatness has tried to prevail over
the centuries, with the freeing of slaves after the civil war, women gaining the
right to vote, marriage equality etc…greatness has marched on.

THE STRUGGLE TO HELP OTHERS IS REAL

While I was in the planning stages of Sink or Swim I met with an acquaintance
who had been running a fairly successful non-profit for many years. Her first
words to me were, and I quote, “Don’t do it, it will ruin your life!...boy was
she ever right!”

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

The death of a family pet is difficult, especially when you have to make the
awful decision to put your pet down. When the time came for my family to make
that decision last month, I was not expecting it to be as difficult for me as it
was

YOU'RE A GROWN-ASS ADULT

Ahh summer! A magical time when parents get a well-needed break from their
children, and children from their parents. Or so I have heard.

ACADEMIC RESEARCH IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART

Like many other research groups, my colleagues and I spend an enormous amount of
our time writing grants that will more than likely never get funded. Not because
they are poorly written, or poorly conceived, or unnecessary, but because the
federal government only funds approximately 16% of grants submitted each cycle.

#SCICOMM FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD

Communicating science is of the utmost importance on a basic, fundamental level.
A recent study...found that most Americans can answer basic science questions,
but go beyond the basic, and most are stumped.

DEATH WILL NOT ESCAPE US

Death will not escape us, any of us. Though it seems that death has a fond
proclivity for me, it has followed me throughout my life thus far.
Case-in-point, I started writing this from a room in a hospice center watching
as my father-in-law took some of what were his last breaths.

DEATH VS. LIFE: ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL

Somewhat recently a cardiac arrest survivor I helped to resuscitate was
diagnosed with a terminal disease. This brought about the question, is it better
to go quickly, not knowing the end is near, or is it better to have extra time
on this earth...

TALK TO ME

I told her these things, and many others, so that she would learn them from me
and not from her friends or other unreliable, seedy sources. I continue to tell
her things like these because if I want her to talk to me, I also have to be
willing to talk to her — it is a reciprocal relationship.

THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY

In a country where anything is possible, a veritable land of milk and honey, the
election of a ruler is an important process, not just because that person will
end up as the President of the United States, but because it clearly shows us
the thought process and beliefs of our fellow citizens.

IT HONESTLY DOES GET BETTER

Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 15-24, and
those who are bullied are 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than
those who are not. That's why it's so important for them to hear that it gets
better. It is hard to believe that through the haze of depression, sadness and
loneliness, but it does.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND SAVING A LIFE

Science supports the fact that it is up to you, the community bystander, to be
the difference between life and death, and here is how we know this...data!

#WHYILOVEPHILLY

Philly is the underdog city, we are scrappy, we never give up, and we have
heart.

NATURE: ITS ALL OVER ME

This was not a vacation for the faint of heart, this was a vacation of
extremes ...

WE ARE NOT SO DIFFERENT: SCIENCE AND RELIGION

I am an agnostic scientist who happens to also be fascinated with the world's
religions, especially the Abrahamic religions -- Christianity, Judaism and
Islam.

LEARNING TO FAIL

Education is a right, but it can also be a privilege for some, because
unfortunately not everyone has equal access to it. Therefore, if you are lucky
enough to have it, you should embrace it, appreciate it, and take it all in, for
all it's worth.

YOU TOO CAN BE A SUPERHERO

I also talk to a lot of cardiac arrest survivors, and the one thing they all
have in common -- other than being alive -- is that someone stepped up and
performed CPR.

EVERYONE CAN HEART SCIENCE

My advice to those kids, and to all kids, is to keep thinking outside the box,
think up, and work on, solutions that seem unconventional.

AND THE AWARD FOR BEST CPR PERFORMANCE GOES TO...

With CPR so visible in everyday life, surely everyone must know how important it
is to be trained in this lifesaving skill, right?

IT'S FINE - UNTIL IT'S NOT

When our bodies experience what it perceives as a danger, a relatively
well-known stress response kicks in — most of us will either fight, flight, or
freeze. Just recently, I learned that there is a fourth response: fawn. Fawn is
basically the equivalent of the dog sitting in the house on fire, saying
everything is fine. I am very good at fawning, much to the detriment of my
marriage as well as my physical and mental health.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN IRRATIONAL FEAR BECOMES REAL?

I have a severe inhalation allergy to shellfish (shrimp, crab, lobster, etc.),
preventing me from regularly flying. I try to mitigate the risk of exposure by
not flying on airlines serving food, taking very early morning flights, and
watching every food bag that other passengers bring onto the plane. Plus, my
thinking has always been, who is going to order shrimp and then bring it on an
airplane to eat early in the morning? Well, a lot of people, actually. And on
this particular early morning flight, the gentleman seated directly behind me.
LET’S EMPHASIZE THE TRUE MEANING OF GIVING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Christmas is supposed to be the season of giving but it feels more like the
season of material giving. Im not trying to be the Grinch, but the wasteful
spending of money on material things makes my heart shrink 3 sizes. So this
holiday season, let's emphasize the true meaning of giving.
WHAT IF MY SUPERPOWER IS GONE?

Six weeks ago, I was in the best shape I’ve been in for some time physically and
mentally; I felt great! I was working out 5 days a week doing peloton cycling
and boxing, yoga, and mixing in the treadmill, seriously I felt terrific. I love
working out — it makes me happier and more productive. Then like someone threw a
switch, it all changed.
WRITING BURNOUT? DO THESE 5 THINGS.

I am one of those writers who needs time for inspiration to spring forth — and
when it does, the words flow onto the page like magic. Unfortunately, that is
not how academia works; I can’t just wait for the words to flow like a firehose
onto the page. I have deadlines to meet and a dissertation to finish. That type
of pressured writing is hard. So here are the five things I discovered that
inspire me to write.
LET’S USE NURSES WEEK TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE IN THE FIGHT TO PROTECT THE
HEALTH OF WOMEN AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES

For this Nurses Week — and all those to come — let us forgo the platitudes, and
instead, get out and make a real difference by registering voters, knocking on
doors, writing letters, making phone calls, and sending text messages. Let’s
show up en mass and get involved — and importantly, vote! It will affect the
patients we care for, the students we educate, the science and research we
produce, the innovations we create, the policies we write, and the communities
we serve far better than any one week ever could.
NURSING MUTUAL AID 2020: A NON-HIERARCHICAL MODEL FOR SCHOLARSHIP DISSEMINATION

Nursing Mutual Aid (NMA, 2020) was borne of the impulse to construct a home for
nurses and midwives who had their previously accepted scholarly presentations
canceled due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
VACCINE HESITANCY IS REAL FOR PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES

As a nurse and public health practitioner, I understand the devastation the
pandemic has caused on my colleagues, their patients and families, and the world
at large. I believe wholeheartedly in science, and I am very much pro-vaccine.
Still, I am also a person who suffers from several severe allergies, as was
therefore hesitant to get the covid vaccine.


IF NOTHING ELSE, WE ARE EATING WELL (PART 2)

I am grateful for the confidence I’ve found in the kitchen this year, for the
recipes from around the globe that have sustained us, and for the privilege of
being able to make them. I can’t wait until I can share these meals with all of
our family and friends again and eat well together!

IF NOTHING ELSE, WE ARE EATING WELL!

So here is a list of recipes I’ve attempted, some of which I’ve mastered, some
not so much, but I’ll keep trying. I am aware of, and grateful for, the
privilege afforded me to have the time and resources to cook these meals. I am
happy I can share them all with you virtually, but I can’t wait to resume
sharing communal meals together again! Until then, bon appetit!

GOOD THINGS HAPPEN IN PHILADELPHIA

So, it was only fitting that yesterday as the fate of the country was being
played out on the news channels around the world, it was Philadelphia whose
votes put Joe Biden and Kamala Harris over the top. The city where this country
was founded, that has been making bad things happen to tyrants since 1776, did
it again in 2020; proving that, amongst all the bad, good things do happen in
Philadelphia!

COMMONWEALTH EQUALITY NO MORE?

For the LGBTQ community it has been a little over 5 years since the Supreme
Court ruled that same-sex marriage was legal, and in that time all were happy
and gay — feeling the faintest bit like equal citizens of the country we call
home. But alas, with the election of Donald Trump as President, that was not to
last, and so here we are once again on the verge of losing that right, and many
more. Rights we should not have to fight for, but be sure, we will!

FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE

Twenty-six years ago this month, as a junior in high school in northeast
Philadelphia, I saw a sign — not otherworldly or from God, but a billboard,
advertising the Philadelphia AIDS Walk...All I knew was that sign, which I saw
almost everyday walking to work, was like a beacon that was drawing me to a
community I didn’t even know existed, with no explanation as to why.

SIGNS OF THE TIME

I firmly believe showing up and being counted is vitally important to our
democracy, but I also believe it is important to visually represent the message
you are there to draw attention to. So here are signs from some of the numerous
protests my family and I have attended since Trump took office. I hope they
inspire you to show up and help create something meaningful that lives on!

RELIGION, WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?

Churches are more than the structures where believers congregate, they are the
community that they build, and the values they share. Ultimately not all
churches and religions are created equal — yes they all are built around
community, but what type of community they build is an important consideration.

HATE HAS NO HOME HERE

I love my dad and do not want to not have him in my life because of the person
he fell in love with — in all fairness, he did the same for me — but the
struggle is real, and hate will never have a home in my family!

TWITTER PRIMER

I am constantly being asked about Twitter — who to follow, how it works, if it
is really worth it - to which I say absolutely! For those unsure how to proceed,
here are some golden rules that I personally use when on Twitter that I find
keep me grounded, honest, and engaging.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

As the COVID19 pandemic began, like many other non-clinical nurses, I felt great
moral distress not being on the frontlines, feeling like I wasn’t contributing
in a truly meaningful way. But also like so many other non-clinical providers, I
was (and still am) contributing, just in different ways. I truly feel it is
important to show the world the variety of ways in which nurses — and other
practitioners — are contributing to the work of flattening the curve, spreading
responsible public health information, and helping to protect our frontline
providers and workers during this pandemic.

NURSES DESIGNING FOR HEALTH

Last year, I traveled around the country to meet, document, and be in awe of
nurses who are designing innovative solutions to some of the countries biggest
health and health care issues. In true human-centered approach, I immersed
myself in the environments where these nurses live, work, and play — sharing in
their worlds, understanding why they do the work they do, who influences and
affects the way they see the world, and interacting with some of the people and
patients’ for whom they are designing.

MY SUMMER OF PHUN

In the 3.5 months of summer break from my #PhD program I have felt more human
than I had in the 8 months of the Fall & Spring semesters combined. I am
reinvigorated knowing I have taken full advantage of everything my summer of
2019 had to offer. So, here's a recap of my wonderful summer phun.

RECOGNIZE NURSES AS THE INFLUENCERS IN HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE THAT WE ARE

Widespread and consistent exclusion of nursing expertise is a prime example of
the media’s misunderstanding of the profession.

NASA SOCIAL

My interest in space — and adulation of NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration — began 30 years ago when I visited Kennedy Space Center’s
Visitor Complex for the first time as an 8 year old with my family.

HELLO I'M AN ADULT AND I TOO HAVE A FOOD ALLERGY

What I would like people to understand, what I need people to understand, what I
implore people to understand is this, for people with food allergies,
every…single…minute of every…single…day is like a ticking time bomb.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA'S CENTER FOR RESUSCITATION SCIENCE

I usually write about my big life experiences and transitions, but I don’t feel
like any words can capture my last 11.5 years with the Center. So instead, I
will let these photos speak for themselves.

PHD SCHOOLED

I did it. After years of talking about it, debating it, and pondering its need,
I finally bit the bullet and began a doctoral program this fall. To be honest, I
was not really sure I wanted to do it— I had done my research and I had been
told, nay warned, and even more so encouraged by some to reconsider my decision.

IT'S PROBABLY NOTHING

Its #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, and it was my first time getting a mammogram! I
wasn't really worried about the potential for breast cancer, as the odds were in
my favor. It didn't go exactly as I had planned though, but it is "probably
nothing".

MARRIAGE IS WHAT BRINGS US TOGETHER TODAY

Lets face it, marriage years, like dog years, do not equate to just one. Being
in love is what brought us together all of those years ago, but it is not what
keeps us together today. What keeps us together is love, just love. Love of and
for each other, and love of the life we have created together, and love of what
is to come.

YOU ALL THEY GOT, YOU ALL THEY NEED!

So this week, and every week of football season and beyond, please take the time
to learn these life-saving skills. Because, when a sudden cardiac arrest occurs,
you all the victim’s got and you all they need!

ACADEMIC RESEARCH VS DESIGN THINKING

Innovation, a buzz word in health and healthcare today, is central to both
academic research and design thinking. As someone who is now working in both
areas, I can’t help but think that they can at times be quite similar, and yet
can also be diametrically opposed fields.

FOR THE LOVE OF (SUPERHEROS) AND SCIENCE

I have what I like to call a superhero complex! I believe that I have certain
superpowers that most other people do not and even if you don’t have
superpowers, if you have science you can still save the world.

TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE ASKING IF WE ARE KEEPING OUR FOSTER DOG…

I have written once before about being a foster home for rescue dogs. It is
incredibly rewarding but so very emotionally draining. So please, when you see
me posting cute pictures of our foster dog snuggling with my family on social
media don’t respond with “you’re keeping her right?”

40 YEARS OF A LIFE WELL LIVED

Tomorrow is my 40th birthday! As I reflect on those 40 years — 14,600 days — I
have done so many things I could have never imagined when I was little. Here are
the top 40 things that I remember fondly and am grateful I had the opportunity
to be a part of and contribute to.

AGE IS JUST A (PERCEIVED) NUMBER

At a conf last wk I was charged w/ managing all of the tweeting & blogging, I
presented my work on #virtualreality, & moderated the #innovation session. Taken
together, one would think I had the heir of young & hip to those around me — one
would be wrong!

GEEK OF THE YEAR, THAT'S ME!

In Philadelphia, a city I love an inordinate amount at times, we have an event
unlike any other — the Philly Geek Awards!

WHAT I LEARNED FROM MY FIRST FEDERAL GRANT REVIEW

As an academic researcher submitting federal grants you know the timeline is
long, really long; from submission…to review…to funding… can be close to 10
months. The worst part though, if the grant is not ultimately funded, which most
grants will not be, you have to wait until the next cycle, which could be an
additional 2–3 months away, and then start that 10 month process of waiting all
over again.

 

MY 10 ESSENTIAL STEPS TO THE #RESISTANCE

It has been a mere 2-months since the inauguration of the 45th President of
these United States…where to begin. A lot of people in this country are afraid.
If you don’t know that yet, then you are one of the few privileged folks who
probably have nothing to worry about. I pledge to do the following 10 actions
and I urge you to do the same.

A HALF OF A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF AN ACADEMIC RESUSCITATION SCIENTIST &
ENTREPRENEUR

Meet, pitch, write, submit, repeat.

TO PHD OR NOT TO PHD?

I have been a resuscitation science researcher for close to 10 years. In that
time I have been asked that eternal academy question: “when are you getting your
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)?”, more times than I can count.

2016, MY YEAR OF #SCICOMM

No one really knows what a new year will hold for them, and 2016 was a hard year
for almost everyone! But 2016 was the year I found my love of science
communication! For a science geek who loves nothing more than talking about
science, #scicomm allowed me to take my passion for all things science and
combine it with my obsession with social media, to spread the good word to all
of you! You are welcome!

A DAY IN THE LIFE...

People ask me all the time, “what do you do?”, and for reasons unknown, I never
really know what to say to them. My job sounds interesting to me. Just like many
people I know and respect, working jobs that sound important and fascinating. So
as an experiment, I decided to list out for one week, what I do on the daily,
and in some cases, why.

QUICK TO JUDGE

I would encourage people to take a moment to consider the intentions of what
others say, do, and post, and not take personally what they do not say, do not
do, or do not post. There are so many people throughout the world, in every
corner, intentionally hurting others in a plethora of ways, we need to support
the people taking a stand for anyone, whether or not it be everyone.

TECH FOR GOOD: USING INNOVATION TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FROM SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST

Improving survival from SCA is a significant public health concern; It will take
innovative thinking and disruption of the status quo to foster new ideas that
will not only improve SCA outcomes overall, but also decrease disparities in the
care received.

NURSES MUST NO LONGER STAY SILENT

We have a responsibility as nurses to speak up when we see violence, harm, and

WHY THIS LOCAL RESEARCHER IS COMPELLED TO MARCH FOR SCIENCE IN PHILLY

We cannot let the science deniers dictate the messaging. We cannot stay silent,
because if we do everyone loses — not just the scientific community.

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NURSING



VERIFIED: NURSE MEDIA INFLUENCERS

Responsible science communication can literally be the difference between life
and death. Mass media, especially the news, as well as social media sites such
as LinkedIn and Twitter, have a significant influence on people’s health beliefs
and actions. As nurses we have a critical role to play in how the media reports
on health issues and public health policy and on what messages the public and
policy makers receive.

NURSES FOR BIDEN



OVERCOMING THE SEASON OF DARKNESS IN AMERICA

As I watched the Democratic National Convention (DNC)in August it felt like a
darkness had been lifted, a darkness that began Tuesday, November 8, 2016, and
has persisted since. A darkness that shrouded this country and its citizens for
the past 3.5 years in fear and hate.

AMERICAN NURSE


THE STUDENT AS STORYTELLER

For nurses to connect with patients, communities, administrators, or policy
makers, we need to emphasize storytelling’s importance in healthcare—and
innovation—and teach nurses the fundamentals of the art of telling stories
earlier in their careers. Our guest contributor this month is Nicole Sunderland.
Dr. Sunderland argues that storytelling is an integral component of education,
especially for undergraduate nursing students.
THE 10 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO WHEN STARTING A STARTUP

So, you want to start a startup—great! We need more nurse entrepreneurs, but
there are some things you’ll want to do to make sure you’re successful.
NURSES ARE THE PERFECT MBA CANDIDATES

Understanding the business side of innovation is crucial to successfully
implementing, maintaining, and sustaining a new system, process, product, or
technology. Whether you’re looking to turn your idea into a business endeavor
(entrepreneur) or scale up your idea at your institution (intrapreneur), success
requires being familiar with business terms, concepts, and processes. Combining
a nursing degree with a business degree provides that underlying magic for some
nurse innovators.
PAVING THE WAY FOR VALUE-BASED CARE USING HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN

Here Iswarya Srinivasan explains how clinicians can use human-centered design
and design thinking to improve healthcare delivery using the value-based care
model. Using a human-centered approach in collaboration with care models such as
value-based care enhances the goal of improving the quality of care our patients
receive.
THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDENT NURSING AND ENGINEERING COLLABORATIONS

Nurses and engineers serve vital roles in health and healthcare, creating,
designing, and implementing solutions to problems big and small. Partnering
nursing students with engineering students provides an immense opportunity to
combine these two disciplines and allows each respective student group to learn
from the other early in their academic careers and expand their way of thinking.
EASY SCIENCE AND HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGIES

Science and health communication is a big part of research, education, and
innovation — being able to clearly communicate the problem and solution is key
to many things, including getting funding. But more importantly, it’s a great
way to get information out to those who need it and would benefit from it the
most.
REQUIRING DESIGN THINKING IN NURSING CURRICULUM

I am a firm believer that exposure to innovation methods and processes leads to
innovation itself. Over years I've seen students, faculty, and clinicians take
the knowledge and resources gained in class and use them in other ways – whether
in hackathons, accelerators, or in-practice.
One such student shares her thoughts on why she believes design thinking should
be a required part of the undergraduate nursing curriculum.
I HAVE AN IDEA, NOW WHAT?

Nurses often reach out to me for advice — they have an innovation idea and don’t
know what to do next. This article is my starter guide to beginning to bring an
idea from conception to fruition. Note though, creating a new innovation is
multilayered, there are many steps and levels of complexity along the way, this
is just the basics, a starting place.
APPLYING STORYTELLING TO HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE

Storytelling is a critical part of healthcare, as well as innovation and design.
Stories can be used to communicate a problem, provide context, and present a
solution. Storytelling is a science into itself.
GETTING NURSING STUDENTS INVOLVED IN ‘HACKATHONS’

When nursing students are exposed to active learning, innovation events such as
hackathons, they begin to understand how they can solve problems in health and
healthcare in a very different way.
TURNING YOUR NURSE-LED INNOVATION INTO A VIABLE & SCALABLE VENTURE

When nursing students are exposed to the innovation process and the
methodologies to create human-centered solutions to health and healthcare
problems, they flourish. The guest article below written by one of my nursing
students, Anthony Scarpone-Lambert, is a prime example of this.
THE INNOVATION CYCLE AND THE NURSING PROCESS— THEY GO TOGETHER!

The nursing process is tried and true; it is a systematic approach that has
served the profession, our patients, and communities well for decades — and
little known fact, it mirrors the innovation process perfectly!
THE FUTURE OF NURSING - AND HEALTH EQUITY - IS INNOVATION

The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NAM) released
their Future of Nursing 2020–2030 report recently with a sizable nod toward
nurse-led innovation in the context of health equity and the Social Determinants
of Health (SDOH).
A NURSE'S GUIDE TO SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media sites create a space for nurses to share their stories, have
action-based conversations, engage and educate others, and meet people that can
help them reach their personal and professional goals. All of these social media
platforms allow nurses’ voices to be heard, just make sure that you use them
responsibly.
NURSING STORY SLAMS: CREATING A SPACE FOR NURSES TO TELL THEIR STORIES

Storytelling is essential to increasing health literacy, empathy, curiosity, and
engagement — and who has better stories than nurses?
NURSE-LED PODCASTING TO AMPLIFY NURSING

I firmly believe we need more nurses creating new & original #podcast content.
In my latest article, I share some of the tips and things I think are important
to consider.

ANA INNOVATION


WHAT ARE THE SKILLS NEEDED TO BE A NURSE INNOVATOR?

What skills do you need to be a nurse innovator? A great many things, though
this question is a bit misleading as I firmly believe nurses already possess
many of the skills necessary. In fact, I would argue that most nurses are
already innovating, having an innovative prowess that is innate to the
profession.

MARION LEARY - MY JOURNEY

My path into STEMM was far from straightforward — which fits well with my entire
life’s journey. I am a first-generation college student, the first to be working

community (though not the only one, my twin sister is also gay). It took me a
long time to figure out myself personally and also professionally.
