On this week's episode, it is my honor to have Dr. Susan Dawson joining us on NurseTalk to talk about Emotional Dissonance.  Dr. Dawson is a board-certified clinical nurse specialist and nurse practitioner in adult psychiatry. She has served as a doctorally prepared professor, Director, and Dean of nursing for 30 years in Iowa, Texas, Illinois, Missouri, and has had a practice since being certified 27 years ago in advanced nursing. Her practice has focused on underserved populations. The health and wellness of her clients encompass a holistic approach to mental and behavioral health services to achieve the best outcome for each patient. Within the populations she serves, she has identified increased issues of addiction and has added these skills to her practice. Her goal is to work in an integrated way to increase comprehensive care with an understanding of these issues in addition to underlying mental health issues. Her passion is to serve clients and to prepare others to care for the mental health of those in need. Recently Dr. Dawson has been appointed to the Federal Intergovernmental Agency Advisory Board on Substance Use. Through her 48 years of nursing practice, she has learned the art of listening. She spends her time listening to the needs of her clients and helping them to get the best life possible.

Something that we are all guilty of....self-defeating talk. With so much that we are working on, and the added stressors in our lives, it is paramount that we decrease the mental cluster f and break the habit of the vicious cycle. We each have this ability to break free, now it is time to stop the insanity. Please join us live every Tuesday at 730pm EST on our main Facebook page: Facebook.com/NAVUnite to interact with Dr. Sandy

Getting worse every day before and with #COVID patients, stretched staff to earth-shattering deficits in safety that would make OSHA cry in a corner.  When does this stop?  It can stop with us not allowing it to continue. Statistics show that it ultimately affects our mental health, impedes patient care, and quality of life. The incivility ends with each of us! NursesAgainstViolence.org #NP #RN #LPN #CNA

A member's first-hand account of the harassment they received from their administration while working in nursing education, relentless is an understatement. #EndHealthcareViolence #Education #PreventViolence

In the rush of the hustle and bustle, it tends to overshadow the importance of relationships and how sometimes we just have to stop or slow down a minute. Life passes us by in an instant but for those left behind, a simple warm smile and a friendly face changes the whole experience of another. I say this with all heart, Dr. Sandy

Goals are never easy to reach but they pull you out of your comfort zone to be more than you were. Test day, nerves on edge and one step further to my goal.

Nurses, have you ever felt like every thing you do isn’t getting you farther? It is! Slowly, sometimes at snail speed but still moving forward. Keep going!!

The DNP goes back for more schooling and is being schooled herself!

Hauling butt to Missouri for my Psych Np orientation, I had a unforeseen challenge...actually several. Minor vent but know we all have moments of hiccups. It is how you deal with it.

It is easy to get caught up in the negative and trick ourselves into thinking about what could be. Remember, baby steps lead to strides.

Stuck? Come to the group on Facebook: #NursesAgainstViolenceUnite and sign up for free mentoring by one of our many mentors volunteering their expertise.

Come join me, sit back and know that you aren’t alone! We are in this together.

Preparing for my graduation and the upcoming Nurses Against Violence Unite march, excitement is building!

In the busy life of a nursing student, remember to stop once in a while to thank those who are healing you through your program.

The state of nursing education and why is it so hard? Why does it seem like nursing instructors don’t care? Here’s the lowdown. We do.

Saying what you mean and doing what you say not only brings value into your life but also open many doors.

27 yrs ago I received my GED, now reaching my Doctorate, I wanted to say thank you to those that guided me to begin my journey.

Upcoming March, vision, and the desire to do what is right for our nursing profession.
