Welcome to the Show
Good day and welcome to this week's episode of the Nursing Show podcast for nurses, by nurses. I'm your host Jamie Davis and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for checking out the show this week. First up, in this week’s nursing news items, we’ll be looking at one nurse practitioner who created a new smartphone app that helps nurses diagnose pediatric hypertension in 1/3 the time it used to take.
Then in this week’s tip of the week, we’ll chat with critical care nurse practitioner and educator Brenda Pun as she talks about new research into how delirium patients and their pain are managed in the critical care setting. That is coming up later on in this episode.
If you want to get back in touch with me, please drop me an email. You can send those e-mails in to NursingShow@Gmail.com (mailto:nursingshow@gmail.com). I love to hear from you and I make sure I respond back to every email that comes in. Send me links to news items you'd like me to cover, interview suggestions with you or somebody you know.
