Ep.10 - ResusX Series - Intro

The Resus Tonight team is curious to learn how critical care &amp; emergency nursing can be better. The team translates research into everyday clinical practice, challenge the sacred cows of nursing and occasionally rant.

Appreciate the RN approach, that is, how best to affirm RN scope &amp; practice intelligently &amp; confidently, to best work side-by-side w MD colleagues.

And most MDs could learn some good stuff too.

The hosts disseminate information succinctly &amp; pleasantly, giving enough banter for interest’s sake, but remaining clear &amp; quick, avoiding the “you’re-wasting-my-time” podcast trap.

Thanks, guys! Plz keep up the good work.

Very good!

This very approachable podcast disrupts the dogmas that we are used to with evidenced based info. The guys have a great banter. I’ve learned so much and can’t wait for more. Tell your friends!

Well done!
