Episode 35: Why I Left Bedside Meets Eliza Pillars
<p>Episode 35: Why I Left Bedside Meets Eliza PillarsWe presented at our very first convention in Biloxi, MS, hosted by Elizar Pillars, an organization dedicated to black nurses in Mississippi.We met so many older nurses who gave us amazing advice and words of encouragement. We were super nervous at first, but, once we made it to the podium, the nerves slowly started to fade. During our presentation, we discussed how we met; how the podcast started; the areas in healthcare that need refinement; and how to achieve it. We honestly believe that we made a lasting impression with the organization, and we can’t wait for the next one.#nurselife #healthcare #nursing #nursestory #blacknurses #nursehumor #registerednurse #cancer #cancersurvivors #jointcommission Business Inquiries: whyileftbedside.business@gmail.comWhy I Left Bedside’s Social Media Platforms link below https://linktr.ee/whyileftbedsidepodcastHosted by: Shelena & Alexandreahttps://linktr.ee/Shelenabenamon?utm_...https://linktr.ee/Alexj42?utm_source=...Creative Producer: Kikihttps://linktr.ee/stay.cloudlessVideo & Editing: KikiStudio: https://sparqsocial.co/</p>
