Manage episode 466545619 series 3633994
Jen Johnson, a devoted registered nurse from Ontario, Canada, shares her remarkable stories working in a rural hospital to tackling the fast-paced demands of a stroke center using her intuition and wisdom. Her story is a testament to the often unrecognized but invaluable contributions of nurses everywhere. Jen talks about the critical role of intuition in nursing, emphasizing its importance for both personal sanity and career survival. Her book, "Nursing Intuition: How to Trust Your Gut, Save Your Sanity, and Survive Your Career," serves as an essential guide for nurses and anyone interested in understanding the inner workings of healthcare from the perspective of those who keep it running.
The episode brings to light the emotional and mental challenges faced by frontline workers, especially during the early days of the pandemic. Jen recounts the pressures of maintaining a balance between her work and personal life under extreme circumstances.
We examine how intuition, bolstered by experience, becomes a lifeline in high-stakes environments. The discussion uncovers the science behind intuition and the impact of sleep deprivation on decision-making, bringing to the forefront the need for healthcare professionals to trust and act on their gut feelings, even when self-doubt lingers.
This episode is a tribute to the resilience and essential role of nurses, encouraging a deeper appreciation and support for these frontline heroes.
Bio
Jenn Johnson learned more about intuition after she started listening to what her body was telling her. After years of nursing in the ER she started having a feeling about what was going on with her patients before tests would clearly show the diagnosis. In this episode, Jenn shares some of the science behind intuition and how she started relying on her own experiences when caring for patients.
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!
