In this poignant and insightful episode of the Blu Alchemist Podcast, host Siquoyia Blue sits down with ER nurse turned author Jenn Johnson to discuss her compelling new book, "Nursing Intuition: How to Trust Your Gut, Save Your Sanity and Survive Your Career." Amidst sharing personal and professional experiences, Jenn delves into the emotional and intuitive aspects of nursing, shaped profoundly by the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the burnout that followed.
Jenn narrates a heartrending story of her first patient death during a C-section, which deeply influenced her decision to trust and document her intuition in critical medical situations. This tragic event and its aftereffects, including maintaining connections with the patient's family, are sensitively shared in her book, showcasing the profound impact of intuition on nursing decisions and patient outcomes.
Discussing her philosophy on the importance of intuition, Jenn emphasizes its vital role not only in nursing but in everyday decisions, particularly for women. She highlights the balance between acting on gut feelings and making thoughtful decisions, a theme that permeates her professional and personal life.
The conversation also touches on the healthcare system's disparities between Canada and the U.S., COVID-19's impact on healthcare workers, and the lingering effects of Long COVID. Jenn recounts her own experience with COVID-induced asthma and participation in a clinical trial, emphasizing the importance of intuition in recognizing and diagnosing health conditions.
Throughout the episode, Jenn shares humorous and resilient anecdotes, offering a candid glimpse into the life of an ER nurse. The discussion concludes with Jenn providing information on where to purchase her book and follow her professional journey, encouraging listeners to explore and engage with her work.
