In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Julie Siemers, DNP, MSN, RN, to discuss the realities of today's hospital and critical care system. She is a patient safety consultant, industry nurse leader, worldwide educator, the founder of Lifebeat Solutions, and the author of the bestselling book, 'Surviving Your Hospital Stay: A Nurse Educator's Guide to Staying Safe and Living to Tell About it.'

This discussion is a crucial and pivotal one that every human being should listen to regarding patient advocacy. We are all subject to injury, illness, or surgery at some point in life, and today's unfortunate healthcare realities demand we equip ourselves with the knowledge and tools to navigate such events...be it for a loved one or ourselves. During this chat, Dr. Julie Siemers educates us on the conservative realities happening behind the healthcare curtain, and she shares expert tips and resources that will enable your confidence if/when a hospital stay becomes necessary.
