2023-04-2801 minThe Nice Veins Bro PodcastEp 21 - This daily habit will change your lifeEstablishing a consistent morning routine can have a profound impact on our life because it sets the tone for the whole day! One of the best habits to implement in the morning is waking up earlier. When you wake up early, you have more time to yourself before the day's demands start taking over. This extra time can be used to exercise, meditate, or work on a personal project. By starting your day with a sense of accomplishment, you are more likely to continue being productive throughout the day - this is why you should always try t...
2023-04-1726 minThe Nice Veins Bro PodcastEp 20 - The WORST attribute in healthcare workersNobody likes the person who can't be corrected. Today we're talking about the worst attribute for any healthcare and wellness professional: PRIDE! This can often start as a healthy dose of self-confidence but if we aren't careful, it can turn sour pretty quickly. Too often, because of our unique role, title, education, or knowledge, we become attached to a higher view of ourselves than we probably deserve and it can have detrimental effects on the people around us - including the people we care for and serve. Sometimes when people doubt our conclusions or challenge our expertise, w...

I was recently reading a book that someone from my church wrote called "Power to Thrive" and was taken back by the concept that only 2% of the population ACTUALLY thrives. The author of the book, Richard Cavaness, stated that 98% of people do NOT chase after a life outside of their comfort zone. In this podcast, my Optometrist brother and I explore how this mindset can dramatically change your life and why it's important that people in healthcare adopt this mindset shift in their day-to-day. Be a positive for...

That's right, I'm including more voices in the conversation -- not just nurses... and here's why: I've realized my vision for Nice Veins Bro is much larger. Although I'm passionate about nursing, and I'll always continue to champion that perspective, I've realized that a lot of us in health/wellness carriers go through the same things. We are stronger when we view ourselves as being on the same team in promoting the three core values: GOD, WELLNESS, & PURPOSE. I'm excited to h...

2023-02-2732 minThe Nice Veins Bro PodcastEp 17 - Miscommunication can KILL people 😵There's a quote from Tony Robbins that says "The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives." This obviously means that the way we communicate is of utmost importance! Similarly, the Bible has two incredible verses I would like to share with you: "The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit." Proverbs 15:4 "But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgement for every empty word they have spoken." Matthew 12:36 A simple Google...
2023-02-2030 minThe Nice Veins Bro PodcastEp 16 - Being passive is stupid, STAND for your valuesNurses have always been called to be impartial. This means treating people with the same level of respect - not favoring any one individual more than another. But with this concept of being just, I have to ask myself, what is fairness defined by? What is our moral compass?One of the first steps in nursing practice is to be self-aware. Do you remember studying this in nursing school? Practicing self-awareness can help ground us so we can have clarity between the good vs bad in our personal lives. As Christians, we find this source of morality...

Surely, there must be a healthier approach to the idea of regret! I would hope that those of us who do any kind of wrong, feel guilty about our decisions! Today we're talking about the pros and cons of regret and how to deal with it when it starts to overwhelm us. To start, here's the list I made: Pros about REGRET Holds us acco...

Is it just me, or does it feel like life is only about achievements, attainments, and finish lines? What makes it worse is, it's what SOCIETY deems as successful feats. There can be a lot of stress surrounding this concept and we may often feel a great deal of pressure on a daily basis. Ever heard of TOXIC MOTIVATION?

2023-01-2328 minThe Nice Veins Bro PodcastEp 13 - Nurses Get Fired Over TikTok Video: Should Nurses Be "Influencers"on Social Media?Several nurses were fired this past December for a TikTok video they uploaded while at work. An NBC headline reads "Nurses at Atlanta Hospital Under Fire Over TikTok Video Mocking Maternity Patients". Yikes. It was part of a trend called #IckChallenge where people made videos revealing the things that bothered them about a certain subject or person. Shortly after the nurses uploaded the video, it went viral and it lead to them being fired. Emory Healthcare said in a statement: "This video does not represent our commitment to patient- and family-centered care and falls far sho...

I think the majority of nurses have gone through this.... feeling like we might have made a mistake! Did we struggle through nursing school, working so hard, only to realize that the dream we had once aspired for is actually not what we want to do. In fact, it might feel like the exact opposite.

2023-01-0222 minThe Nice Veins Bro PodcastEp 10 - What Nursing School Doesn't Teach YouLet's talk about a few things I wish nursing school should be teaching students! Now, I don't want to sound too idealistic. Nursing school won't teach you everything you need know before going into the real world. Some things you'll just have to learn on the job because there's no possible way you'll get the training while in school... and that's okay. But here's what I think should have been covered -- or at least, focused on more in detail -- while in nursing school: Empathizing with others Though you ca...
