Episode Highlights:
06:51 - Nursing education is a difficult profession. I think it does take dedicated people who want to come back and give back and help the next generation of nurses learn. It is not as lucrative as working in the healthcare industry. Certainly they can probably make more money working at the bedside. I think a lot of people see it as a way that they can give back and really share their wisdom that they have with other nurses.
13:06 - Nursing education is not cheap. It's very expensive and primarily because we actually are skill-based, very practice oriented. We've built many simulation units, as probably people have heard and understand. Those are labs where students actually go in and get to practice the professional skills on our mannequins.
20:42 - Stewardship is huge, and I think that means we do all have to be cognizant that it is a business. It does cost money. We can't just be spending money like it's coming to us forever. So, I think every time we make a decision related to something that we want, that's going to cost or cost the students or cost the faculty, or to cost whoever it is, everyone has to come with the idea of what's the ripple effect of that? What is that going to cost everybody?
