Kali Dayton, AGACNP-BC, DNP: Walking Home From The ICU

Today we speak with Kali Dayton.

Kali Dayton (AGACNP-BC, DNP) is a nurse practitioner from Utah with experience both as a traveling nurse, and in her hospital's 'Awake and Walking' ICU. She noticed some major differences with how patient sedation was handled based on the hospital system and this revelation has led her to start a podcast of her own, called Walking Home from the ICU. Her goal is to discover the true impacts of sedation in the ICU and how many times patients are unnecessarily administered drugs that lead to more harm than good. On her show, she interviews survivors dealing with post-ICU PTSD and clinicians who understand that even the most critical patient needs mobility.
