Technical Recruiting and Job Hunting With Wendy McIntosh

So, here's the thing.  Nurses and midwives account for 50% of the global health workforce.  Did you know that?  That's a lot! We're quite a force.  What intrigues me more about that is that while we're 50% of the workforce, our representation at the policymaking, political level or the boardroom is... at best, scant. Our role bears witness to the real experiences of people who accessing health and community services at an international level across all geopolitical and social spectrums.  Truly, we see it all.  So why is our nursing and midwifery voice not being heard where decisions about how health and community services are delivered? There a lots of reasons, but one is opportunity.  You can't just saunter in to a boardroom and just making decisions.  Australian federal MP, Ged Kearney is a proud Australian example of one of our tribe who transitioned from nurse to policymaker. But Ged's journey was long, so how do we get our start in having the nursing and midwifery voice heard? Sue chats with one of our regulars here at the Nursing &amp; Midwifery Emporium's podcast, Wendy McIntosh because she's got a solution for us that you might not have expected: Rotary for Nurses!

Wendy McIntosh on Rotary for Nurses

Clinical supervision is something that I've actually never had much exposure to. And after listening to the fabulous Wendy McIntosh, I really wonder why.  I know that clinical supervision is prevalent in the nursing niche of mental health.  Given my background is entirely perioperative and emergency, then it stands to reason that this is the reason clinical supervision has missed my professional experience.  Dr Wendy McIntosh, from Davaar Consulting has over 30 years as a health professional (clinical, education and research), 25 of those years in mental health. Areas of specific interest and passion for Wendy include: professional supervision, professional boundaries, professional identity, links between childhood trauma and mental illness and workplace bullying.  Wendy has joined us before on the Nursing and Midwifery Emporium Podcast and joins us again this time to enlighten us on clinical supervision

Wendy McIntosh on Clinical Supervision

So let's talk Nursing Professional Boundaries It's a disconcerting topic, if I'm honest: nursing professional boundaries.  While there are certainly a few psychopaths amongst us in the nursing and midwifery profession, research tells us they are few and far between.  So, therefore, it stands to reason that while it happens, none of us go out of our way to violate our nursing professional boundaries. Yes, as the fabulous Dr Wendy McIntosh reveals to us, sometimes it's hard to know how our gestures, words and actions can be perceived by others until we see them played out before us. That is indeed Wendy's specialty.  She is an educator with a special interest in nursing professional boundaries and works with many people who have experienced a boundary transgression.  So, Sue takes a deep dive into boundaries, transgression and professional supervision and Wendy reveals the most amazing four questions we can ask ourselves about a given interaction to analyse whether we have indeed crossed a line.
