About a 1,000 days after #COVID19 shut things down, had a chance to reflect with peers on how makers showed up for their Dunkirk moment, and how much more work is left to create more #makernurses and #healthmakers

Meet @RHedgesRN who launched the first nurse-led hospital #makerspace in the Midwest @UnityPointCR! Thank you for advancing the work of #nurses and #nursing! @ANANursingWorld nursingworld.org/practice-polic…

Fun and having access to #prototyping learning and tools at the point of care do go in the same sentence!

An unforgettable moment... Did you get to see MakerNurse, @RHedgesRN, at the 2021 ANCC National Magnet Conference in Atlanta?

I am proud to share that American Nurse Journal has published our unique response during the pandemic. I am grateful to work for a hospital that invests in frontline innovation! nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%… @myamericannurse @UnityPointCR @makerhealthco

@Caulimovirus Exactly!! I run our medical makerspace in our hospital. We printed our own for $.10👏. Here is a picture of one of our first drafts.

@theNAMedicine Teach nurses to meet patients where they are, this might mean creating solutions to care challenges with supplies on hand. Teach about design thinking and how the nursing process work together. Enable them. #nursing2030

Q5: Nursing education programs should ensure that nurses are prepared to address social determinants of health (SDOH), such as structural racism. How can nurse education address structural racism to achieve health equity? #Nursing2030

@theNAMedicine Everyday nurses create solutions to address patient care challenges. Create a culture where nurses can talk about their work-a-rounds. Empower them to speak up by providing them education, and resources to safely take a work-a-round to shareable solution. #nursing2030

Q2. How can harnessing nurses’ full potential benefit health care institutions and communities? #Nursing2030

@theNAMedicine Rose Hedges, Nurse from Iowa. I run our medical makerspace. I help clinicians take workarounds from the bedside to the makerspace to safely iterate on them allowing us to create solutions we can share through out the hospital. Nurses have the best solutions.

Q1: Introduce yourself and share where you are from! #Nursing2030

OMG. This is amazing. If you are curious how Cesarean sections are performed to deliver babies, watch this. That's quite a few layers to cut through.
