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 episode, we look at the American Heart Association’s groundbreaking Resuscitation Quality Improvement training program or RQI. Then we look at a special interview on Lung Cancer and the importance of supporting research into new treatments for this deadly disease. We’ll have that and more later in this episode after the news.
Before we get to the news, though, I’d like you to make sure you follow up on all of the information from this and every episode by heading over to NursingShow.com and checking out the links in each episode’s show notes. There are also other articles and links there to things like the free Nursing Show mobile app, student nurse tips and a whole lot more. Make sure you are following up so you know how what I talk about in the show each week is applied using your own nursing scope of practice.
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. 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.
Also, a special thank you to Physio-Control and the American Heart Association and their excellent CPR resources for a special partnership supporting this episode of the podcast. That’s it. I will have more contact information coming up later on in this episode. Let’s get into this week’s news items coming right up!

NEWS:
This week’s special news item is brought to us through a special partnership with the American Heart Association. I interview ER doc Michael Kurz about the important research that shows we need to change the way we train for CPR in our facilities. This is a look at the AHA’s RQI program that offers continuous, ongoing CPR training on a rotating 90 day time cycle. The research says this leads to better outcomes and reduced training costs. Check it out.

Tip Segment:
Next is a special interview with an oncologist, Dr. Alexander Drilon, and a lung cancer survivor, Juanita Segura. The two of them come on to talk about the risk factors for lung cancer we may not be thinking about and how we can support continued research and awareness for lung cancer. Here it is.
