EP 29 - MD-RN Collaboration with Dr. Stephen DeMeo

Real talk on communication, collaboration, and trusting your gut. Welcome to a special episode of Pulse Check with Archer Nursing! Today, Dr. Morgan Taylor, DNP, CPNP, CCRN, sits down with Dr. Stephen DeMeo, neonatologist and Chief Medical Officer at Archer Review, for a candid conversation about one of the most overlooked—but critical—skills in healthcare: interdisciplinary collaboration. From awkward first pages to high-stakes gut instincts, this conversation dives into what really happens when nurses and physicians work with each other instead of around each other. What you’ll hear: Why new nurses shouldn’t be afraid to speak up The “nurse gut” and why doctors should listen to it When a text won’t cut it—choosing the right communication method The power of structured tools like SBAR + how to use them well Rapid-fire advice for new grads just starting out Whether you’re a brand-new nurse or a med student heading into residency, this episode offers practical, judgment-free insights from both sides. Your role matters. Your voice matters. And when nurses and physicians team up with respect and clarity, patient care gets better—period. Find everything Archer Review has to offer: ⁠⁠archerreview.link/PulseCheck⁠⁠ Use code PULSECHECK10 - an exclusive discount just for our listeners! Connect with us!  📸 Instagram: @archernursing 📘 Facebook: Archer NCLEX Review 🎵 TikTok: @archernursing ▶️ YouTube: Archer Review NCLEX, USMLE, TEAS7, and FNP
