Learn with Lindy. A surgical nurse.: Recent Episodes
Lindy Strachan
A podcast from a surgical nurse. This will include both teaching and chats about nursing. I want to inspire nurses.
Nursing is a career, but it should also be a passion.
Let’s look into appendicitis. Whether you have an appendicectomy or you’ve looked after a patient with appendicitis. It’s probably an episode you’ll be familiar with.
So, do you know what to look for? What would the signs and symptoms be? How would you handle the pressure? Identifying a deteriorating patient consists of more than looking at a NEWS 2 chart! If you fancy some lovely badge reels or a new water bottle, check out my Etsy page - LindytheRN
So this episode is one for the baby nurses and a refresher for the established nurse. Listen as I bring in a tomato plant into the conversation! Well done to all the NGN’s and well done to all the nurses who continues to provide the best possible care in such challenging times in this profession.
Just me referencing a plane to the colon. Diverticulitis simplified and made easy to understand (well I hope!).
A wee intro for my next topic diverticulitis (including diverticulosis). Let’s talk about the colon!
This episode will focus on the gallbladder and educate you on cholecystitis and other gallbladder related teaching. Cholecystitis - inflammation of the gallbladder; cholangitis - inflammation of the common bile duct; cholelithiasis - formation of stones in the gallbladder; choledocholithasis - stones formed in the common bile duct and cholecystostomy - drain into the gallbladder. See the similarity between the words.
What do you know about pancreatitis? What don’t you know? Did you even know you had a pancreas? Using my own teaching methods, I hope to educate in the field of nursing.
Hey, I’m Lindy. Yup, that’s about it. It’s about me, my journey as a nurse and what I’m doing now. I hope to inspire at least one person. Did I say I’m Scottish - because that matters!
