Manage episode 377401703 series 2384030
We LOVE nurses, and they are a fundamental part of the lives of teens/young adults living with chronic illness/disability. So having a nurses where we get to chat with nurses, talk about improving their mental health wellbeing, and getting to connect better in our visits is a goal! We have two incredible podcast guests that took their experience as nurses and amplified it to empower and help others. Both from the nonprofit, Operation Happy Nurse, founder Shannon McPeek and board president Mallori Walker, have the aim of helping those in the nursing profession battle work-related stress, anxiety and depression and end the stigma around mental health. And it’s been a rockstar-level of success ever since!
Here’s the Four Hot Takeaways from this podcast episode:
- At 4:23, Shannon and Mallori answer a rapid-fire of questions about how they got into nursing, why the origin story of OHN’s name would make all the sibling energy proud, and each of their favorite resources that the nonprofit provides.
- At 15:20 we dive deep into the origin story about how Shannon created Operation Happy Nurse, Mallori gives the facts on what can be the pitfalls of working in nursing and mental health, and how to provide self-care and wellbeing into nurse’s lives on and off the clock.
- STORY TIME INTERMISSION at 31:07 lets Shannon and Mallori talk about two of their mentors that led to two of the biggest life changes and impacts on their careers as nurses. Shoutout to Purdue University’s School of Nursing in this segment!
- The podcast ends at 40:40 with getting Mallori and Shannon’s advice on how to improve our communication and dynamics with our nurses and medical teams, and their tips on how to advice for yourself, and what fellow nurses/and nursing students can learn to make their experience with their future patients that are young adults all the better and successful!
