When it's not about you – the impact staff relationships have on care provided.
A patient’s sudden drop in blood pressure, a missing note about medication, and a tense silence between colleagues—this episode dives into the real-life moments where communication, emotion, and teamwork collide. What happens when relationships are strained, emotions run high, and the patient’s safety hangs in the balance?
We unpack a story that’s all too familiar in healthcare: the challenge of working with someone you don’t click with, the hazards of poor communication, and the powerful role emotions play in how we show up for each other and our patients. Through honest reflection, we explore how self-awareness, kindness, and a willingness to reset can transform even the toughest dynamics. If you’re a nurse, clinician, or leader who wants to grow, develop, and mature—both personally and professionally—this episode offers practical wisdom and a gentle nudge to see things differently.
Everyone who enters health care wants to do the best they can - for their patients, their colleagues, and themselves. But wanting to do your best is only the beginning. True excellence isn’t a fixed point; it’s a process of personal and professional growth, reflection, and transformation.
At Better Every Shift, we dive into real stories that reveal how our “best” is something that evolves as we learn, stretch, and allow ourselves to mature. Together we explore the messy, inspiring, and sometimes uncomfortable moments that shape us into more effective clinicians and leaders.
