Nurse Managers: The Solution to Your Staff Communication Problems

September 26, 2015 By Kati Kleber, MSN RN 4 Comments

What’s the age-old problem that nurses and nurse managers deal with daily? COMMUNICATION. Inefficient communication. So much information is being thrown at you day after day, you’re overwhelmed before you even clock in. I wholeheartedly believe that we inefficiently communicate about basic things. This ends up costing money because we’re wasting time and resources (paper, […]

Nursing School Pharmacology Doesn’t Have to Suck!

July 31, 2015 By Kati Kleber, MSN RN 1 Comment

Hands down, the hardest class in nursing school for me was pharmacology. I’m bad at straight forward memorization, especially when it’s medications I’ve never actually used or seen in real life. Naturally, I squeaked by with a B in Pharmacology. I scoured the internet for various resources, but didn’t find much. Luckily there are pharmacology for nurses resources that can help!

Nursey Review: Nurse Born Lotus Stethoscope Holder

August 3, 2014 By Kati Kleber, MSN RN Leave a Comment

What’s the first thing you do when you get into nursing school? You go buy a stethoscope and wear it around your neck at every chance you get. You “forget” to take it off when you get home after clinical so people can see how cool you are. You take ten stethoscope selfies.  You keep […]
