S1 Ep 35The Great Debate - Should Nurses Be Called Doctors?
EShould nurses be called doctors? That’s the contentious question Kiiyonna and Christal set out to answer in today’s Nurse Boss Shift and navigate this evolving discussion and present diverse perspectives.A fascinating legal battle involving nurse practitioners and their right to use the title "Dr." is unfolding and it brings up some interesting ethical and entrepreneurial issues that our hosts weigh in on. Sarah Erny is a nurse practitioner with a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP), the highest degree in advanced nursing. Known affectionately as "Dr. Sarah" by her patients and colleagues, she is facing criminal punishment for using the title "Dr." With over $20,000 in fines and the threat of losing her nursing license, Sarah has had to move her practice to Washington State. California's Medical Practice Act prohibits healthcare professionals, other than licensed physicians and surgeons, from using the title "doctor" or "Dr." on signs, business cards, letterhead, or ads. Violators face fines and license revocation. Tune in to this captivating episode to gain insights, challenge your perspectives, and delve deeper into the question: "Should Nurses Be Called Doctors?""I think we put that level of notoriety on the word 'doctor'. And that's why we want to be called that so much. Because it gives us a level of esteem, or honor, or something like that." ~ Kiiyonna Jones "It still feels like another attack. It still feels like some of those doctors have an issue with us being called the same thing as them, because there is that notoriety." ~ Christal ParkerIn This Episode:-What can we do to ensure the public doesn't get confused in a clinical -setting?-The Story of "Doctor Sarah"-Why is California (specifically) so strict about the use of the word 'doctor'?-Would Christal want to be called Doctor if she studied further and earned the title? -What implications do online learning qualifications have for the nursing profession? -What could a standardization in nursing education look like?And so much more…Connect with Kiiyonna and Christal:Kiiyonna's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sidepreneur_nurse/Christal's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thebedsiderescuer/Nurse Boss Mob Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2906101896370538YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/kiiyonna/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sidepreneurrn?lang=en

S1 Ep 28Elderly Foot Care Services with Nursing Entrepreneur Heather Wilson
EHeather Wilson is a former bedside nurse turned nurse entrepreneur. She spotted a simple gap in the market: the fact that the elderly would struggle to care for their own feet on account of increased inflexibility. Heather decided to make up for the lack of proper routine foot care services available for America's aging population and within two short years, she was able to leave the bedside and transition into the 'full-time hustle' that is her business, Everyday Divinity.After letting other nurses 'pick her brain' on how to follow suit, Heather then decided to launch The Foot and Nail Institute, which focuses on training nurses on how to launch their own senior foot care business. Heather's enthusiasm for the work she does is tangible, and her impact is great. Nurses looking to claim work-life balance can do so by becoming foot care business owners themselves. And that starts with this motivational message from Heather and our hosts Christal and Kiiyonna which focuses on how nurses can overcome the indoctrination that happens in orientation in order to pursue entrepreneurial success. If we can attend to a broken foot as a nurse, we can most certainly start a business caring for the feet of the elderly that just need a little TLC!

S1 Ep 24Beating Burnout as a Nurse
EAre you suffering from burnout as a nurse? This is not a new topic for nurses – and yet, it's still a hot topic. Christal and Kiiyonna are addressing ways to beat burnout in this episode of Nurse Boss Shift which is all about solutions. Of course, solutions start with identifying that you have a problem. If your patients can tell that you're overtired, that's a clear sign. If all you want to do after your shift is over is go home and sleep, that's a sign. And with the number of nurses who are leaving the bedside increasing, coupled with the statistics on the decreasing number of nurses who are entering this challenging profession, now is an important time to unpack burnout and offer guidance to any nurses out there who may be struggling. Nursing is not easy, we know that. Can we figure out ways to bring better balance to our profession? Let's find out. "You can be sick. You can get physically ill as a result of burnout." ~ Kiiyonna Jones "Not only are people leaving, but also the numbers of people going into nursing are at an all-time low as well." ~ Christal Parker.In this episode:-What was Christal's first experience of burnout as a nurse?-Can your patients tell when you're overtired as a nurse? -Kiiyonna shares on experiencing burnout when studying nursing-Latest statistics on nurses leaving the bedside-How can we bring better balance to the nursing profession? -Where will change in the nursing industry come from? -Unpacking the ideal staffing ratio -How nursing entrepreneurship can make you mentally stronger-The importance of therapy and other self-care practicesAnd so much more…Resource:I am - Daily Affirmations App https://apps.apple.com/us/app/i-am-daily-affirmations/id874656917Connect with Kiiyonna and Christal:- Kiiyonna's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sidepreneur_nurse/- Christal's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thebedsiderescuer/- Nurse Boss Mob Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2906101896370538- YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/kiiyonna/- TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sidepreneurrn?lang=en

EAre you keen to learn what it takes to become a nursing copywriter? Portia Wofford has been a nurse since 2010, when she started in long-term care. Pretty soon, she saw a gap in home health in terms of how her patients weren’t necessarily understanding the pamphlets they were being left with — because they didn’t know how to read.

This is Nurse Boss Shift at its very best in 2023, showing us how we can turn our nursing careers into something more than just draining bedside care. Portia takes us through the steps she took to get out of the day-to-day going of nursing, all while still giving back so much to a profession that desperately needs clear communication with its clients — and the nursing industry in general. Listen up, take some notes, and get busy writing! “All of my friends are nurses who are entrepreneurs, so they kind of understand the struggle.

S1 Ep 13The Nursing 'Ick' Video Controversy
EHave you heard of the controversy surrounding the TikTok ‘Ick’ challenge? Kiiyonna and Christal weigh in on this hot topic, discussing the impact of social media and where to draw the line with what nurses are accountable for. Four nurses at Georgia’s Emory University labor and delivery unit were fired for making a video on TikTok detailing what patients do to give them the ‘ick’ (an uncomfortable feeling) at work. The fallout has been huge as other patients at Emory University have made the link between their poor care and this ‘ick’ video. So, is it the nurses' fault? And what can we learn from this experience as nurses and people engaging in social media? This is a fresh, important debate between Christal and Kiiyonna on the interface of nursing and social media. They remind us to keep the patient in mind and conduct ourselves with integrity and help lift the profession of nursing up. We are the ones who decide our profession. We own it. But with ownership comes responsibility. So let’s understand what that responsibility entails. Please join us. “What bothered me the most is the lack of grace for these nurses.” - Dr. Kiiyonna JonesIn this episode:-Was the Ick video leaked?-What is an ‘ick’?-Christal’s story of her first hospital birth-Why nurses get the blame when they’re the face of the business-Kiiyonna’s comparative story of giving birth at 17-Are their experiences shaped by them being African American women?-How TikTok glamorizes nursing-How to find balance as a nurse on social media-Speaking the truth of your profession on TikTok-Black nurses coming together for a common mission-If you wouldn’t do it in front of your patients, don’t do it on social media-Did the punishment fit the crime?Connect with Kiiyonna and Christal:- Kiiyonna's Instagram- Christal's Instagram - Nurse Boss Mob Facebook Group- YouTube- TikTok
