9
00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:35,949
If it becomes busy work, to be honest,
I, I, I tell people, I'd rather you then

10
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,769
don't ask them to reflect because now
they have this really negative association

11
00:00:40,769 --> 00:00:43,610
with a reflection and they're like,
Oh, you know, I don't want to do this.

12
00:00:43,620 --> 00:00:44,339
This is boring.

13
00:00:44,370 --> 00:00:46,960
Oh, this is, this is just you.

14
00:00:47,519 --> 00:00:52,870
I actually heard about, I heard a
student say this and I was so sad by it.

15
00:00:53,450 --> 00:00:59,440
They said when, um, they
were advising another student

16
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:01,480
actually, I overheard this.

17
00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:07,420
They said, Basically, the professor
wants you to stroke their ego.

18
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,410
Oh, my.

19
00:01:10,419 --> 00:01:12,890
And, and you can see why though, right?

20
00:01:12,890 --> 00:01:13,370
They would think that.

21
00:01:13,929 --> 00:01:18,079
Because they are saying, the professor
taught you a bunch of stuff this semester.

22
00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:20,830
At the end they are saying,
what did I, what did you learn?

23
00:01:21,335 --> 00:01:27,415
If you say, I learned all the stuff you
taught me, hey, that's the right answer.

24
00:01:28,505 --> 00:01:29,065
Wow.

25
00:01:30,405 --> 00:01:30,695
Right?

26
00:01:31,225 --> 00:01:32,174
That's sad, right?

27
00:01:32,255 --> 00:01:32,615
Yeah.

28
00:01:32,925 --> 00:01:33,205
Yeah.

29
00:01:33,205 --> 00:01:33,285
That's sad.

30
00:01:33,615 --> 00:01:35,774
That is not exactly
what you're looking for.

31
00:01:35,774 --> 00:01:36,714
That's when I like,

32
00:01:36,745 --> 00:01:42,124
please stop asking them to reflect
because you are really actually, um,

33
00:01:42,164 --> 00:01:45,775
if anything, you, you push them further
into the hole of that they will never

34
00:01:45,775 --> 00:01:48,895
get out of, you know, because if that's
how they think about this section,

35
00:01:49,744 --> 00:01:55,119
um, it, it becomes Not only busy work,
it actually was for your benefit.

36
00:01:55,820 --> 00:01:59,570
It wasn't even for them, like,
it wasn't even busy work just to,

37
00:01:59,570 --> 00:02:01,050
all right, we have to get it done.

38
00:02:01,380 --> 00:02:06,169
It was more like a, oh, well, you
just needed, needed some reassurance

39
00:02:06,190 --> 00:02:07,310
that you've done it for you.

40
00:02:07,310 --> 00:02:09,259
Yes.

41
00:02:09,539 --> 00:02:12,919
Isn't, you know, sometimes I get
with the essentials, oh, that's

42
00:02:12,939 --> 00:02:16,919
just for accreditation, which it
is a great way to show that you've

43
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,459
met the standards, but that's not
really the point of the assignment.

44
00:02:20,489 --> 00:02:21,429
That's just sort of one of the.

45
00:02:22,755 --> 00:02:23,655
Extras, right?

46
00:02:23,685 --> 00:02:26,605
That, oh, because, you know, when you
go through accreditation for different,

47
00:02:26,645 --> 00:02:30,455
you know, whatever program, you have
to show examples of student work.

48
00:02:30,615 --> 00:02:35,524
Um, so, yes, I, you know, I, I do,
I tell the students, well, yes, it

49
00:02:35,525 --> 00:02:39,614
is a great example of the work that
you've done here, but that's not really

50
00:02:39,614 --> 00:02:43,095
why that we do the assignment, um,

51
00:02:45,265 --> 00:02:48,415
uh, because we can pull that
work together in other ways.

52
00:02:49,464 --> 00:02:51,325
The portfolio is just a nice way to do it.

53
00:02:51,325 --> 00:02:56,125
But the key point to the assignment
is actually that one of the reasons

54
00:02:56,125 --> 00:03:01,974
it made me think of doing this is,
uh, I saw students, particularly more

55
00:03:01,974 --> 00:03:07,325
recently, you know, um, we've kind of
passed our golden years in nursing,

56
00:03:07,325 --> 00:03:09,964
I think, going into a different era.

57
00:03:09,994 --> 00:03:16,385
But, you know, they just, Um, They just
go through school and they, I don't, there

58
00:03:16,385 --> 00:03:18,665
wasn't seeing a lot of acknowledgement
of what they'd accomplished.

59
00:03:18,665 --> 00:03:20,134
They're just like, I just
need to get through school.

60
00:03:20,134 --> 00:03:21,145
I just need to get through school.

61
00:03:21,735 --> 00:03:23,065
And I wasn't really that student.

62
00:03:23,065 --> 00:03:23,915
I love school.

63
00:03:23,924 --> 00:03:26,375
Like school was, I'm still in school.

64
00:03:26,375 --> 00:03:26,675
Right.

65
00:03:26,675 --> 00:03:27,815
So I obviously just

66
00:03:27,905 --> 00:03:28,475
You never left.

67
00:03:28,835 --> 00:03:28,895
Yeah.

68
00:03:28,895 --> 00:03:28,985
I

69
00:03:28,985 --> 00:03:29,705
love school.

70
00:03:30,125 --> 00:03:34,834
And so I wanted to kind of leave them
with some appreciation for the, like, show

71
00:03:34,834 --> 00:03:36,515
them what they've actually accomplished.

72
00:03:36,515 --> 00:03:42,855
So this, this project actually kind of,
you have to review everything that you've

73
00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:46,655
done for the, across the whole program.

74
00:03:46,925 --> 00:03:48,875
And they're doing it right
before they graduate.

75
00:03:48,965 --> 00:03:52,345
And most students will share at the
end, they're like, well, this, you

76
00:03:52,345 --> 00:03:54,845
know, I wasn't really excited about
this to begin with, but I really

77
00:03:54,845 --> 00:03:57,874
feel like I've done, I didn't realize
how much I'd actually accomplished,

78
00:03:57,875 --> 00:03:59,815
how much I'd actually done here.

79
00:04:00,204 --> 00:04:01,994
And so they do that right before.

80
00:04:02,315 --> 00:04:03,364
I love that.

81
00:04:03,385 --> 00:04:10,520
I, I do wish that More people allow
students to have more opportunities

82
00:04:10,670 --> 00:04:12,860
to do that more frequently and early.

83
00:04:13,550 --> 00:04:22,250
Um, but this idea in my mind of, um,
not just any students, any, any humans,

84
00:04:22,250 --> 00:04:29,880
anyone to have the, to get given some
time and space to say, here is a body of

85
00:04:30,635 --> 00:04:34,104
Work or body of things that you've done.

86
00:04:34,695 --> 00:04:35,925
It doesn't have to be work, right?

87
00:04:35,925 --> 00:04:40,335
It could be play, it could be other
kinds of, you know, experiences

88
00:04:40,335 --> 00:04:41,625
and achievements and whatnot.

89
00:04:42,674 --> 00:04:46,965
The ability for someone to have the
time and space to just go, here's a

90
00:04:46,965 --> 00:04:49,065
body of things that you've, you've done.

91
00:04:49,875 --> 00:04:55,594
Um, some people, you know, think of
it as sort of integrated learning.

92
00:04:55,895 --> 00:04:59,945
But I, I think that there's,
I, I love that, but I also

93
00:04:59,945 --> 00:05:02,925
think that there is a, um,

94
00:05:06,304 --> 00:05:12,814
a really interesting, almost
like neurological model that

95
00:05:12,814 --> 00:05:18,784
gets structured around your self
worth and your sense of self.

96
00:05:20,695 --> 00:05:21,445
And so

97
00:05:24,154 --> 00:05:30,224
to me, every time that You know,
anytime that someone gets a chance to

98
00:05:30,224 --> 00:05:35,185
say, Hey, let's take a look at your
body of work, or you have to present

99
00:05:35,185 --> 00:05:40,474
your body of work, maybe not in the
like, like formal presentation, but

100
00:05:40,474 --> 00:05:43,444
more like telling a friend, telling
a new person that you never know

101
00:05:43,445 --> 00:05:45,794
about, you know, doing a podcast.

102
00:05:49,194 --> 00:05:56,804
That, that it, it sort of builds
additional like neuro, like, you

103
00:05:56,804 --> 00:06:02,515
know, connections in your, in
your brain that says, ah, that's

104
00:06:02,554 --> 00:06:03,965
the kind of person that I am.

105
00:06:03,965 --> 00:06:07,715
This is how I, this is
how I do life, you know?

106
00:06:09,505 --> 00:06:09,825
Yeah.

107
00:06:09,945 --> 00:06:11,255
I think that's amazing.

108
00:06:11,324 --> 00:06:15,305
I think that's a, what a gift
that you, you give your students.

109
00:06:16,245 --> 00:06:18,235
Just kind of flip the lens a little bit.

110
00:06:19,205 --> 00:06:19,594
Yeah.

111
00:06:19,825 --> 00:06:20,135
Yeah.

112
00:06:20,245 --> 00:06:21,405
I think it's, I think it's wonderful.

113
00:06:21,565 --> 00:06:29,265
This is why I, I, I I wish that people
make that a bigger part of life in

114
00:06:29,265 --> 00:06:33,514
general, so it's not like, Oh, well,
now that you're graduating, look what

115
00:06:33,515 --> 00:06:35,664
you've done in this last four years.

116
00:06:35,664 --> 00:06:39,865
But I always feel like, you know,
what happened this week, you know?

117
00:06:39,865 --> 00:06:41,504
I

118
00:06:41,884 --> 00:06:45,405
feel like when you have adolescence,
you could have like, Those are

119
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:47,095
your parenting successes, right?

120
00:06:48,255 --> 00:06:49,055
Well, that's how

121
00:06:49,055 --> 00:06:50,325
you keep yourself sane.

122
00:06:52,195 --> 00:06:57,075
Um, can we, would you mind if we
switch the topic for a moment?

123
00:06:57,104 --> 00:07:04,384
I, I know that you also work with,
um, I mean, there's been a, uh,

124
00:07:04,425 --> 00:07:10,044
um, a pattern of you working with
natives, the native population.

125
00:07:10,824 --> 00:07:11,034
Yeah.

126
00:07:11,374 --> 00:07:16,350
Sounds like first in, in, uh, Well,
it's definitely in, in, in both in

127
00:07:16,390 --> 00:07:18,370
Hawaii and Alaska, but maybe elsewhere.

128
00:07:18,370 --> 00:07:19,360
So have you that,

129
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,200
um, For indigenous, mostly
just Hawaii and Alaska.

130
00:07:23,780 --> 00:07:24,200
Yeah.

131
00:07:24,610 --> 00:07:27,230
And can you tell us a
little bit more about that?

132
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:27,810
What is that?

133
00:07:27,850 --> 00:07:28,830
What does that mean?

134
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:30,299
What is the work?

135
00:07:31,380 --> 00:07:31,920
What is it like?

136
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:32,370
What did you do?

137
00:07:33,470 --> 00:07:40,440
Um, yeah, so in , um, you, in
Hawaii I worked the, um, Hawaiian

138
00:07:40,445 --> 00:07:45,610
population, but also American
Samoa, Tonga, um, other populations.

139
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,780
Um, I was more the health center there.

140
00:07:48,785 --> 00:07:50,610
I was more in the, um.

141
00:07:51,645 --> 00:07:57,395
Working in the military, you know,
which is its own, um, culture.

142
00:07:57,905 --> 00:08:00,094
Uh, so mostly I worked with students.

143
00:08:00,605 --> 00:08:04,115
And one of the things that was really
unique in Hawaii that I noticed is no one

144
00:08:04,115 --> 00:08:06,145
in Hawaii says, why aren't you a doctor?

145
00:08:06,795 --> 00:08:14,790
Which, nursing is And so much
so that sometimes when students

146
00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:17,680
weren't successful, they were
actually happy because they

147
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,120
actually didn't want to be a nurse.

148
00:08:20,830 --> 00:08:23,029
And I was expecting all this
disappointment, you know, when

149
00:08:23,029 --> 00:08:26,099
they're, when they actually were
like, Oh, thank goodness, you

150
00:08:26,099 --> 00:08:27,039
know, cause they actually didn't.

151
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,219
Didn't want to do it.

152
00:08:28,249 --> 00:08:30,280
So that was a big, big

153
00:08:30,719 --> 00:08:31,280
culture.

154
00:08:31,309 --> 00:08:32,850
Is it just a general culture?

155
00:08:32,850 --> 00:08:33,076
I

156
00:08:33,076 --> 00:08:36,760
think it's something unique about when
I was in Hawaii, it was just very much,

157
00:08:37,460 --> 00:08:40,309
you know, other places people often
say, well, why aren't you a doctor?

158
00:08:40,319 --> 00:08:40,559
Why?

159
00:08:40,650 --> 00:08:43,079
You know, it's like a, but not there.

160
00:08:43,089 --> 00:08:45,559
Like nursing is very respected.

161
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,990
And so, it was kind of a very unique
experience while, while I was there.

162
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,189
Um, but definitely like the storytelling
that we've been talking about is very

163
00:08:55,199 --> 00:09:00,970
integral to both Hawaiian and very much
so in the Alaska Native population.

164
00:09:00,980 --> 00:09:04,489
And I would say I've worked more closely
with the Alaska Native population

165
00:09:04,529 --> 00:09:10,430
like here because I've been with
the, the, the hospital since 2012.

166
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:17,045
So, um, and with fam working a lot
with families and So when, when

167
00:09:17,095 --> 00:09:22,505
families come in for health care,
like Anchorage is a hub, and so we

168
00:09:22,505 --> 00:09:25,885
get families from a lot of the rural
villages that will come to the hub.

169
00:09:25,894 --> 00:09:29,605
Whereas on the adult side of the,
of the hospital, sometimes you get

170
00:09:29,605 --> 00:09:33,494
patients from the hubs, but there's
more access to adult care at the

171
00:09:33,494 --> 00:09:35,064
other hubs that aren't Anchorage.

172
00:09:35,654 --> 00:09:41,830
And so, you know, when you think
about, um, You know, a lot of things

173
00:09:41,830 --> 00:09:46,120
we've been talking about as far as the
nonviolent communication, it's, it's

174
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,979
a very non-confrontational culture.

175
00:09:48,579 --> 00:09:56,619
And so, um, often, and it's not
hierarchical like the hospital, the

176
00:09:56,619 --> 00:09:58,329
hospital is owned by the people.

177
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:03,160
So the patient is the owner,
it's a customer, owner is

178
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,175
the word that he Mm-Hmm.

179
00:10:04,254 --> 00:10:04,694
is used.

180
00:10:05,574 --> 00:10:09,355
And so it really changes the dynamic in
the hospital because, you know, somebody

181
00:10:09,694 --> 00:10:15,685
who's, you know, doing housekeeping or,
um, you know, is at their desk or, you

182
00:10:15,685 --> 00:10:21,005
know, even the provider, they all may
own the hospital, you know, the owner.

183
00:10:21,475 --> 00:10:25,964
And so all of these sort of, um, levels
of hierarchy, for me, I've noticed is

184
00:10:25,964 --> 00:10:27,344
really nice because that's removed.

185
00:10:27,954 --> 00:10:29,385
And so I feel like Like

186
00:10:30,074 --> 00:10:34,945
this is the This is the big boss, and then
you're the second and the third big boss.

187
00:10:36,575 --> 00:10:36,885
Right.

188
00:10:36,945 --> 00:10:37,865
I, I don't

189
00:10:37,895 --> 00:10:39,535
feel that as much there.

190
00:10:40,155 --> 00:10:46,305
And, and so, um, but the stories, like
often I would bring students over to

191
00:10:46,305 --> 00:10:50,775
the hospital too sometimes, and I would
disappear, like literally for 40 minutes.

192
00:10:50,785 --> 00:10:51,845
They'll say, well, where were you?

193
00:10:51,855 --> 00:10:53,780
And I was like, well, I
just, Got the greatest story.

194
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,469
You just, if you go into a room and you
start talking to an elder and you just

195
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:04,650
hear the most amazing stories because, um,
the culture there is amazing storytelling.

196
00:11:05,150 --> 00:11:09,649
Um, you know, once it was about the
last time that this person was in

197
00:11:09,650 --> 00:11:13,249
the hospital was actually when she
was a young girl and it was during

198
00:11:13,250 --> 00:11:15,119
the earthquake, the big earthquake.

199
00:11:16,780 --> 00:11:22,339
And so, but it's a different way of doing
health assessment because Before I went

200
00:11:22,339 --> 00:11:28,650
into the room, the patient was um, very
anxious and the nurses were having trouble

201
00:11:30,730 --> 00:11:31,780
providing care.

202
00:11:32,540 --> 00:11:35,520
And then I sat down and talked
with her and I figured out where

203
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:36,609
the anxiety was coming from.

204
00:11:36,609 --> 00:11:39,619
She was sort of thinking
back to her last time.

205
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,509
It's a different hospital.

206
00:11:41,509 --> 00:11:45,439
They actually built a new hospital,
but for her, all these things had

207
00:11:45,439 --> 00:11:49,675
happened the last time she'd been
They call it the native hospital.

208
00:11:49,675 --> 00:11:50,715
That's their name for it.

209
00:11:50,725 --> 00:11:55,485
But, um, and so I don't know, it's
just, I don't know if that answers your

210
00:11:55,485 --> 00:11:59,324
question, but it's a very different way
of, it's more of a narrative medicine

211
00:11:59,325 --> 00:12:04,114
approach that I would take with, um,
my patients at the hospital where I

212
00:12:04,114 --> 00:12:10,024
try to figure out the story as opposed
to like coming in with a, you know,

213
00:12:10,024 --> 00:12:11,524
checklist of what are your symptoms?

214
00:12:11,654 --> 00:12:12,984
You're not going to get very far.

215
00:12:13,185 --> 00:12:19,655
If you approach health in that way,
um, or I've seen people approach

216
00:12:19,655 --> 00:12:22,375
education where they have this list
of things they're going to go through

217
00:12:22,375 --> 00:12:28,824
to educate as opposed to, um, sort of
integrating it into your daily care.

218
00:12:31,379 --> 00:12:35,099
Yeah, it's been a gift
to work with the Colt.

219
00:12:35,119 --> 00:12:41,449
I just, um, it's one of the, it's probably
the best hospital I've worked for, I

220
00:12:41,449 --> 00:12:43,670
think, uh, as far as just the population.

221
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,370
And, um,

222
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:50,099
I don't know, it's just, it's
just been a real gift to work

223
00:12:50,099 --> 00:12:50,419
there.

224
00:12:50,479 --> 00:12:52,209
I think that is so amazing.

225
00:12:52,210 --> 00:12:59,200
Um, I can, I can see why you are
wired the way that you are and

226
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,579
what draw you to all of this work.

227
00:13:02,180 --> 00:13:11,280
Um, do you think that there is
something, what are some of your

228
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,279
observations in terms of, you know,
you talk about storytelling, right?

229
00:13:15,565 --> 00:13:20,494
It's a big part of the culture, it's a
big part of the ability to tell these

230
00:13:20,494 --> 00:13:25,405
amazing stories and, and have gathered
so many stories, but only we all have

231
00:13:25,685 --> 00:13:29,775
lots of lived experience, but we don't,
at least in sort of the, the sort of

232
00:13:29,775 --> 00:13:34,414
mainland, you know, Western culture,
you know, we don't think of these as

233
00:13:34,425 --> 00:13:38,875
stories, we don't collect them, we, we
just sort of, it happened and that was

234
00:13:38,875 --> 00:13:44,454
it, maybe it's more like the, you know,
you tell people at a bar, you know, like,

235
00:13:44,455 --> 00:13:52,625
but, but, you know, But there are many
cultures where stories are treasured.

236
00:13:53,815 --> 00:13:58,744
You collect them like you are,
you know, like, like people

237
00:13:59,055 --> 00:14:01,534
collect certificates, you know.

238
00:14:01,994 --> 00:14:05,164
Um, and I don't want to say,
it's not the vain way of saying,

239
00:14:05,165 --> 00:14:06,344
hey, I just have a certificate.

240
00:14:06,354 --> 00:14:08,155
It's just like, you really value them.

241
00:14:08,165 --> 00:14:09,135
They are useful.

242
00:14:09,375 --> 00:14:13,595
It can come in, in handy at some
point in your life, you know.

243
00:14:14,930 --> 00:14:20,020
I think there is something so beautiful
about that, that we are almost kind

244
00:14:20,020 --> 00:14:27,780
of, for some reason have missed the
boat on, you know, like I see a lot of

245
00:14:27,790 --> 00:14:34,789
students, for example, going to school
and I'm talking even K 12 schools, right?

246
00:14:35,860 --> 00:14:44,290
Um, where you had talked about, you know,
NVC being used in certain models, right?

247
00:14:45,850 --> 00:14:52,110
In the more mainstream sort of
traditional school model, I see students,

248
00:14:52,750 --> 00:14:56,519
including students coming, you know,
I'm sure coming to your classes,

249
00:14:56,939 --> 00:14:59,740
where they go, I have an assignment.

250
00:15:00,510 --> 00:15:02,079
Tell me what I need to do.

251
00:15:02,569 --> 00:15:03,630
Tell me what the expectation is.

252
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,489
How do I get an A on this?

253
00:15:05,550 --> 00:15:05,949
Right.

254
00:15:06,319 --> 00:15:07,180
I'll do it.

255
00:15:08,060 --> 00:15:11,809
Not only do I, when I do it, I'll do
a good job at following all of those

256
00:15:11,819 --> 00:15:18,709
things, but the second that I submit
it to you, or hit the submit button,

257
00:15:18,750 --> 00:15:22,509
whatever, you know, whether it's a
paper or technology, it doesn't matter.

258
00:15:23,740 --> 00:15:25,330
The second I do that, I'm done.

259
00:15:26,270 --> 00:15:26,440
Right.

260
00:15:26,630 --> 00:15:28,020
I don't think about it ever again.

261
00:15:28,450 --> 00:15:30,760
It's not part of the story that I keep.

262
00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:33,060
In fact, I get to forget it.

263
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,260
Right.

264
00:15:34,570 --> 00:15:40,329
Now I've done it, so you grade it, and
then it will exist as a some kind of

265
00:15:40,660 --> 00:15:44,260
percentage in my grades, and that's it.

266
00:15:45,925 --> 00:15:51,175
I think that's a, there's something there
that, that makes me feel really sad about

267
00:15:51,175 --> 00:15:57,595
because that narrative, that accumulative
sort of narrative, that body of work,

268
00:15:58,315 --> 00:16:01,555
um, is so incredibly powerful and useful.

269
00:16:02,294 --> 00:16:08,520
Where, when I think about these very
fragmented, fragmented Pieces where

270
00:16:08,730 --> 00:16:12,450
the person does it in almost like a
very short term, short memory game.

271
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:15,800
You just kind of do it and then you
just don't think about it anymore.

272
00:16:16,460 --> 00:16:16,680
It's

273
00:16:17,019 --> 00:16:20,199
almost like, um, to me, it
feels like a waste of time.

274
00:16:20,229 --> 00:16:22,220
It feels like that time just got lost.

275
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,530
Because you didn't get much out of it.

276
00:16:25,940 --> 00:16:27,819
It's sort of the what's
on the test phenomenon.

277
00:16:28,660 --> 00:16:29,720
Yeah, right.

278
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,990
You study for a test.

279
00:16:31,890 --> 00:16:34,320
At the end of the test, you just
kind of like, you just really go,

280
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,330
I did well on the test, but you
really just, even if someone asks you

281
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:40,450
that same thing again in like three
days, you'd be like, I have no idea.

282
00:16:41,089 --> 00:16:43,010
I knew it three days ago, by the way.

283
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:49,030
I've had these as an, you know, as an
educator, I've had these, you know,

284
00:16:49,060 --> 00:16:52,579
classes where I've, you know, I've been
like, I feel like you're, I'm on fire,

285
00:16:52,579 --> 00:16:56,339
you know, I have these great stories
pulling out all these concepts and ideas.

286
00:16:57,130 --> 00:16:59,019
And, you know, the students
are engaged and then.

287
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,360
Always at the end of the class,
somebody will say, so which,

288
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,360
what if that is on the test?

289
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,946
I'm just

290
00:17:04,946 --> 00:17:05,750
like, oh

291
00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:10,310
my gosh, you know, it's always kills me.

292
00:17:13,450 --> 00:17:13,710
Yeah.

293
00:17:16,689 --> 00:17:26,329
What do you think are some of the, it
seems like that you're very in tuned

294
00:17:26,329 --> 00:17:28,030
with what students are doing these.

295
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:34,189
I mean, you talked earlier about sort
of going from, uh, you know, nursing has

296
00:17:34,189 --> 00:17:39,570
changed, you know, you're talking about
team nursing and things that you weren't.

297
00:17:40,205 --> 00:17:45,295
That you said, you know, that's not how
I was trained or how I practiced before.

298
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:46,545
Um,

299
00:17:48,655 --> 00:17:53,845
and of course that probably means that,
you know, you also have to now change

300
00:17:53,885 --> 00:17:59,074
in how you teach your students and new
skills, new ways of teaching and learning,

301
00:18:00,055 --> 00:18:03,330
and then you had talked about certain, you
know, sort of, you know, need to, Figure

302
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:06,990
out how to take care of themselves and
dealing with burnouts and stuff like that.

303
00:18:08,409 --> 00:18:13,540
If, you know, it's sort of like a
very like, you know, sky view level

304
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,020
looking at nursing education right now.

305
00:18:17,109 --> 00:18:23,100
What are some of the, what do you
think some of the big, um, either

306
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:27,210
where some of the hurdles but also
some opportunities are in advancing?

307
00:18:27,955 --> 00:18:32,345
You know, the field and making, I love
your vision of, Hey, they shouldn't

308
00:18:32,355 --> 00:18:35,605
even have to be resilient because
it implies that something's wrong.

309
00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:36,665
They have to just survive it.

310
00:18:37,294 --> 00:18:40,565
But how do they naturally
just kind of thrive it because

311
00:18:40,595 --> 00:18:42,294
it's just an enjoyable thing.

312
00:18:42,899 --> 00:18:46,480
Well, by the way, I think that it's
probably correct me if I'm wrong, but

313
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:51,500
I think people, most people want to go
into nursing because they, they, they

314
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:54,640
can get joy out of helping other people.

315
00:18:55,820 --> 00:18:56,010
That's a

316
00:18:56,010 --> 00:18:56,780
common, yeah.

317
00:18:57,079 --> 00:18:57,429
Right.

318
00:18:57,730 --> 00:19:00,719
Or they've had some life experience
that has brought them close and

319
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,450
they've recognized all that.

320
00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:03,040
How important

321
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:05,149
that would be to bring
it to another person.

322
00:19:05,230 --> 00:19:05,500
Yeah.

323
00:19:05,780 --> 00:19:06,100
You know?

324
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:06,300
Yeah.

325
00:19:08,175 --> 00:19:15,565
That's such, these are such worthy, like,
root level, like, directions, you know?

326
00:19:16,365 --> 00:19:19,615
So what happened and how do
we, like, what are some of the

327
00:19:19,615 --> 00:19:21,064
opportunities now that you see?

328
00:19:21,235 --> 00:19:23,605
Maybe team nursing is part of the thing?

329
00:19:23,605 --> 00:19:24,204
I don't know.

330
00:19:24,204 --> 00:19:25,425
I mean, I don't know enough about it.

331
00:19:25,425 --> 00:19:26,254
Can you tell us more?

332
00:19:26,345 --> 00:19:30,824
Well, for that, I'm hoping that, I
think the team structure happened

333
00:19:31,354 --> 00:19:36,129
during, you know, The pandemic,
like it was a necessity because

334
00:19:37,149 --> 00:19:38,590
you just didn't have the people.

335
00:19:38,629 --> 00:19:43,780
So you, you know, my personal
philosophy is that the, you know,

336
00:19:43,870 --> 00:19:48,670
that's not the model that's actually
going to be the best moving forward.

337
00:19:49,470 --> 00:19:55,120
But sometimes you have to drop back
to these survival modes where the

338
00:19:55,320 --> 00:20:00,889
emphasis might be safety, efficiency,
you know, you, you, and you, you

339
00:20:00,899 --> 00:20:05,029
lose some of those other aspirations
during times of, you know, extreme.

340
00:20:07,445 --> 00:20:12,595
Circumstances, but sometimes I think
on the admin side or the hospital side,

341
00:20:13,495 --> 00:20:15,614
they see the cost savings of those now.

342
00:20:15,664 --> 00:20:16,044
Right?

343
00:20:17,355 --> 00:20:18,125
And so,

344
00:20:18,164 --> 00:20:21,635
well, because you've cut some
corners, so there's some savings.

345
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,780
You have to realize that the corners
you cut, someone's paying for it.

346
00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:28,070
There's a different cost somewhere.

347
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:33,879
And so there's always this, um, you
know, there's that side that they want,

348
00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:38,540
you know, more nurses, cheaper nurses,
you know, there's, and there's been

349
00:20:38,540 --> 00:20:42,219
less unionization of nurses compared
to the past where, you know, that those

350
00:20:42,229 --> 00:20:43,690
sort of things are kept in balance.

351
00:20:44,350 --> 00:20:49,080
So I think right now there's, you know,
and I'm not, I'm not in the sort of

352
00:20:49,250 --> 00:20:55,790
Nurse Management Arena, but there's
definitely this sort of conflict

353
00:20:55,830 --> 00:20:59,420
between, you know, staffing ratio.

354
00:20:59,580 --> 00:21:04,169
There's been legislation trying
to regulate staffing ratios of

355
00:21:04,170 --> 00:21:07,189
nursing and there's always been
lots of lobbyists that come out.

356
00:21:07,229 --> 00:21:12,940
In many states, it hasn't been successful
convincing, you know, the consumer that

357
00:21:13,470 --> 00:21:18,010
this is going to somehow make their care
worse because, you know, I don't think

358
00:21:18,010 --> 00:21:24,235
they understand, um, That when you have
a nurse who has too many patients that

359
00:21:24,235 --> 00:21:29,655
that's actually what is driving your
care, not necessarily that, you know,

360
00:21:30,045 --> 00:21:34,724
they're sending in these arguments and
about, you know, this is decreasing

361
00:21:34,724 --> 00:21:39,395
their access because it's You know,
the provider will only be able to take

362
00:21:39,395 --> 00:21:44,805
care of this number of patients, but,
you know, in health care, it's hidden.

363
00:21:45,065 --> 00:21:46,014
Quality is hidden, right?

364
00:21:46,014 --> 00:21:46,525
You don't know.

365
00:21:46,905 --> 00:21:50,975
Your surgeon might, you know,
be nice to chat with or, but you

366
00:21:50,975 --> 00:21:55,335
really don't know the quality of
surgeon that he or she is, right?

367
00:21:55,335 --> 00:22:00,935
And in the other areas,
Quality is not as hidden.

368
00:22:00,945 --> 00:22:04,325
You know, if you buy a dress and
it falls apart in a week, like, you

369
00:22:04,325 --> 00:22:05,665
know, that that was not very good.

370
00:22:06,295 --> 00:22:08,455
You know, if you have poor
quality healthcare, you might

371
00:22:08,455 --> 00:22:11,085
not know ever, or that might not.

372
00:22:11,380 --> 00:22:14,170
You might not realize it for, for years.

373
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:15,400
It's too late.

374
00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:16,480
Yeah.

375
00:22:16,940 --> 00:22:20,890
And so anyway, I'm kind of got off
on tangent, but there is this sort

376
00:22:20,890 --> 00:22:26,139
of things happen during pandemic
time that are emergency and you know,

377
00:22:26,140 --> 00:22:28,809
there was legislation and things
that allowed for that to happen,

378
00:22:28,809 --> 00:22:30,230
like changing some of the rules.

379
00:22:30,809 --> 00:22:35,579
And now as we're starting to get back into
those, those rules are, they're changing.

380
00:22:36,604 --> 00:22:38,044
We don't need those rules anymore.

381
00:22:38,614 --> 00:22:43,215
Um, I think sometimes they're looking
at the cost difference, but I think

382
00:22:43,215 --> 00:22:48,844
that students do have to be prepared
for, um, what they might see.

383
00:22:48,975 --> 00:22:51,254
You know, are they going to
be asked to kind of function

384
00:22:51,254 --> 00:22:53,004
in a more team like scenario?

385
00:22:53,004 --> 00:22:55,504
And that's more where
you're task oriented.

386
00:22:55,504 --> 00:22:59,444
So instead of having the care for
one patient, uh, which is kind of

387
00:22:59,524 --> 00:23:02,254
somewhat of a safety nut, because you
have somebody who has eyes on them.

388
00:23:03,845 --> 00:23:06,004
what's physical therapy doing, what's
speech doing, what are the docs

389
00:23:06,065 --> 00:23:09,195
doing, what, you know, the nurses
usually has eyes on all of that.

390
00:23:09,825 --> 00:23:11,875
Um, so there divide more in tasks.

391
00:23:11,915 --> 00:23:15,244
So this person's doing medications,
this person's doing procedures.

392
00:23:15,674 --> 00:23:19,294
Um, we're delegating
all this to CNA or LPN.

393
00:23:20,114 --> 00:23:29,930
Um, Probably, it's more like the system
when I very, like 1994, you know, it

394
00:23:29,930 --> 00:23:35,050
was myself, a new grad, I would have 10
patients, the LPN would have 10 patients

395
00:23:35,050 --> 00:23:41,720
and really at the time, the LPN, although
I, you know, I, she, I was, she was

396
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,420
really in charge of me, if, if, to be
honest, because she had, you know, she'd

397
00:23:45,420 --> 00:23:50,415
been in nursing for 40 years and, you
know, um, um, But as far as the licensing

398
00:23:50,425 --> 00:23:55,495
agreements and things that they could do,
you were sort of not their supervisor,

399
00:23:55,495 --> 00:23:57,215
but you were sort of the lead of the team.

400
00:23:57,225 --> 00:24:02,244
So there was this kind of strange
dynamic there when, um, they were really

401
00:24:03,035 --> 00:24:08,754
extremely, so I'm not dismissing the
value of LPNs because I learned a ton

402
00:24:10,095 --> 00:24:13,205
and I wouldn't be the nurse I am today
without the LPNs that I worked with.

403
00:24:13,725 --> 00:24:17,819
But back then, um, The
acuity was very different.

404
00:24:17,819 --> 00:24:20,879
We had patients that don't
even stay overnight anymore.

405
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,429
So you'd basically out of those 10
patients, one or two would be sick and

406
00:24:25,429 --> 00:24:29,860
the rest were sort of your standard
post op, um, patients that nowadays

407
00:24:29,909 --> 00:24:31,770
go home, like you don't even see them.

408
00:24:32,580 --> 00:24:36,569
And so when implementing some of
this team based, that's when it

409
00:24:36,569 --> 00:24:40,510
becomes really stressful because
you have extremely sick patients.

410
00:24:41,379 --> 00:24:45,840
Um, and you just, it's very stressful.

411
00:24:47,435 --> 00:24:52,095
When you start being responsible for more
than say, I think, uh, in Peds anyway,

412
00:24:52,095 --> 00:24:54,125
it's like four in the NICU, we have three.

413
00:24:54,514 --> 00:24:59,835
Um, but on some of the adult floors, they
can see six to eight, maybe more patients.

414
00:25:00,175 --> 00:25:03,105
So if you think about that in an
hour, they're supposed to touch

415
00:25:03,584 --> 00:25:05,275
base with that patient every hour.

416
00:25:05,945 --> 00:25:08,575
So if you have six to eight
in an hour, You're just

417
00:25:08,825 --> 00:25:12,915
constantly running around, you
know, yeah, you can't, yeah.

418
00:25:13,565 --> 00:25:13,775
Yeah.

419
00:25:13,815 --> 00:25:21,400
So it's really, um, you, you know, it's,
Nursing, uh, nurses are costly, I suppose,

420
00:25:21,420 --> 00:25:23,510
but it also costs more to close the unit.

421
00:25:23,590 --> 00:25:26,100
So there's all these kind
of cost drivers there.

422
00:25:26,660 --> 00:25:31,469
Um, but I think one of the bigger
things is to give nursing, new

423
00:25:31,470 --> 00:25:34,939
nurses, a voice of when it's unsafe.

424
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,909
And so how do they, how
do they express that?

425
00:25:37,939 --> 00:25:42,905
And, um, You know, what are the
rules and regulations around that?

426
00:25:42,915 --> 00:25:44,045
Like, you can't abandon a patient.

427
00:25:44,065 --> 00:25:47,635
If you show up and you get an assignment
that's unsafe, you can't leave

428
00:25:47,645 --> 00:25:48,735
because that's abandoning a patient.

429
00:25:48,735 --> 00:25:51,915
And many, many of the boards of nursing,
you can get disciplined for that.

430
00:25:51,945 --> 00:25:56,195
So, so it's how do they document
that unsafe assignment without

431
00:25:56,994 --> 00:25:58,715
having consequences to their license?

432
00:25:58,715 --> 00:26:03,285
And how do they make change
within the system they're in?

433
00:26:04,030 --> 00:26:06,970
Um, sort of in a productive way.

434
00:26:07,710 --> 00:26:10,820
Um, so kind of focusing
on some of those tools.

435
00:26:12,430 --> 00:26:16,009
By the way, coming sort of full
circle, I, I feel like that those

436
00:26:16,059 --> 00:26:17,439
tools that we're talking about.

437
00:26:18,054 --> 00:26:23,705
Uh, the kind of reflective storytelling
and conversational, you know, sort of

438
00:26:23,975 --> 00:26:29,175
tools that you're preparing with your
students, nonviolent way of communicating

439
00:26:29,175 --> 00:26:35,615
those things, ways to be able to, to,
to do things without judgment and not

440
00:26:35,615 --> 00:26:40,574
blaming to, you know, in any specific
people or a person and just being able

441
00:26:40,574 --> 00:26:44,234
to calmly go in and look at a situation.

442
00:26:44,235 --> 00:26:44,694
Yeah.

443
00:26:44,694 --> 00:26:45,154
Yeah.

444
00:26:45,154 --> 00:26:45,404
Yeah.

445
00:26:46,030 --> 00:26:50,620
And I can see like, as soon as you flip
it, when you're not attacking the person.

446
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:54,700
And you're saying, you know,
I'm feeling really scared.

447
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:57,510
You know, if you start off with
that, the manager is like, what?

448
00:26:57,790 --> 00:27:02,249
You know, instead of you did this,
this, and this, I was like, I'm, I'm

449
00:27:02,250 --> 00:27:03,760
putting me into this position.

450
00:27:04,569 --> 00:27:04,749
I've

451
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,360
said that I'm, I'm scared.

452
00:27:07,370 --> 00:27:08,620
And they're like, okay.

453
00:27:09,039 --> 00:27:10,410
Their ears open.

454
00:27:10,430 --> 00:27:10,790
Right.

455
00:27:11,470 --> 00:27:11,730
When you,

456
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,730
But it does require that they also share
a little bit of their vulnerability.

457
00:27:16,110 --> 00:27:21,180
Because when you're using any of
the storytelling or NBC, you, you,

458
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,079
you are a little bit vulnerable.

459
00:27:23,239 --> 00:27:28,299
So that takes a little practice
to be open to that when, you know,

460
00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:33,540
sometimes your first instinct is
to just You know, keep quiet and

461
00:27:35,250 --> 00:27:40,500
practice is in fact, what's so healthy
though, you know, like in a, in the case

462
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:45,610
of you be then being able to do it with
you in a, in an education environment

463
00:27:45,630 --> 00:27:52,189
in a class where, you know, they are
hopefully safe from themselves, from

464
00:27:52,190 --> 00:27:56,610
you, from their, their colleagues so
that you can, they can practice that

465
00:27:56,610 --> 00:27:59,580
because I think it is a skill, isn't it?

466
00:27:59,580 --> 00:28:02,030
It's a skill that you
practice enough that.

467
00:28:02,705 --> 00:28:06,344
You'd then be able to
use that in a situation.

468
00:28:06,764 --> 00:28:09,784
And by the way, this is
kind of amazing to me.

469
00:28:09,824 --> 00:28:13,685
Because people talk about

470
00:28:16,225 --> 00:28:25,064
reflection in this, as this
very nebulous, abstract concept.

471
00:28:25,244 --> 00:28:30,904
That it's like, if you've done it, or
done it well, or experienced it, you

472
00:28:30,924 --> 00:28:32,164
know it, and you feel great about it.

473
00:28:32,165 --> 00:28:33,174
And you learn from it.

474
00:28:33,814 --> 00:28:34,834
And that's kind of it.

475
00:28:35,205 --> 00:28:38,715
But if you haven't, you know, I
have no way to tell you what it is.

476
00:28:39,345 --> 00:28:45,015
Um, it's like telling someone about
riding a bicycle or swimming or love,

477
00:28:45,155 --> 00:28:49,304
you know, like, yeah, I don't know
how to describe it, but you actually

478
00:28:49,304 --> 00:28:53,205
just kind of created a very solid,

479
00:28:55,235 --> 00:29:07,185
um, Example of how that reflective
skill can really be used in a, in

480
00:29:07,185 --> 00:29:14,385
a very productive practical way in
how do you confront situations with

481
00:29:14,404 --> 00:29:17,985
this case, even with the actual skill
of doing the confrontation itself.

482
00:29:18,224 --> 00:29:21,435
But just mentally, first of all,
how do you confront that situation

483
00:29:21,435 --> 00:29:25,265
when you're like, I'm scared, I'm in
danger, I'm in, uh, you know, I, this

484
00:29:25,275 --> 00:29:26,755
is not fair or this is not right?

485
00:29:26,954 --> 00:29:28,535
Because it may not be in nursing, right?

486
00:29:29,245 --> 00:29:29,605
Um,

487
00:29:31,854 --> 00:29:36,355
I really feel like that there's a lot
that, well, I certainly have learned

488
00:29:36,355 --> 00:29:40,945
a lot, but I think that a lot of our
listeners will learn from this in how,

489
00:29:42,535 --> 00:29:49,924
for me, a very, a very advanced set
of, um, topics that you've discovered,

490
00:29:50,004 --> 00:29:56,655
sort of one after the other, that
I really feel like that whether I'm

491
00:29:56,665 --> 00:29:59,205
teaching in a STEM program or in a.

492
00:30:00,050 --> 00:30:08,210
You know, in the arts or humanities, I
could borrow a lot of what you are saying,

493
00:30:09,490 --> 00:30:16,439
um, and use it very positively for sort of
general, you know, education and pedagogy.

494
00:30:16,730 --> 00:30:17,220
I really do.

495
00:30:17,220 --> 00:30:20,590
I think that it's, you know,
you've created, you've lent us a

496
00:30:20,659 --> 00:30:23,239
really beautiful insight to this.

497
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:29,460
Um, I especially love this thing that at
the end that you said, I don't even think

498
00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:34,620
that you thought you, you, you, you did
it on like sort of like deliberately,

499
00:30:34,620 --> 00:30:36,340
but I was like, wait, hold on a minute.

500
00:30:36,860 --> 00:30:40,279
So all of those communication
and processing skills that you

501
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:41,849
have students do, which is in.

502
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,420
You know, the way that you teach
them how to reflect could be

503
00:30:45,430 --> 00:30:49,110
used, in fact, to communicate
with someone to solve a problem.

504
00:30:49,630 --> 00:30:53,850
So it's no longer this abstract, just,
you reflect and you feel great, and then

505
00:30:53,850 --> 00:30:55,690
you now go home and get a better sleep.

506
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,420
It's more like, no,
literally, I'm in trouble.

507
00:30:58,420 --> 00:31:01,579
I needed to go in and talk to
someone about something, and I'm

508
00:31:01,590 --> 00:31:05,760
using, borrowing some of the skills
to go in and do that communication.

509
00:31:05,850 --> 00:31:06,580
I think it's lovely.

510
00:31:08,460 --> 00:31:11,374
That's my hope that they'll use it.

511
00:31:12,325 --> 00:31:16,405
Well, Sharyl, I feel like
that, um, there's much more

512
00:31:16,405 --> 00:31:18,365
that we can learn from you.

513
00:31:18,365 --> 00:31:22,625
And I hope that, um, we
get to do that again soon.

514
00:31:23,284 --> 00:31:29,235
Um, but today I think this is a
good, um, first chapter of Sharyl

515
00:31:29,254 --> 00:31:30,994
and her wisdom from nursing.

516
00:31:31,645 --> 00:31:36,165
Um, but really like, I think there's so
much to unpack, you know, your experience

517
00:31:36,175 --> 00:31:41,700
with, um, You know, um, Native Alaskan,
especially now, you know, all of these

518
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:47,079
kind of, um, I mean, I haven't thought
about a culture that is, you know, based

519
00:31:47,079 --> 00:31:52,250
on, that is so, has so much, plays so
much value on narrative, for example.

520
00:31:52,789 --> 00:31:59,900
That's a, that's a, that's a, that
just opens up so many possibilities

521
00:31:59,910 --> 00:32:01,800
in my mind, like, right away.

522
00:32:02,250 --> 00:32:03,620
Um, so, we gotta talk more.

523
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:08,890
But, um, for today, we
will, we will pause for now.

524
00:32:08,970 --> 00:32:11,500
Uh, hopefully we can, we
can talk more again soon.

525
00:32:11,620 --> 00:32:16,489
And, uh, Sharyl, I, I
can't thank you enough.

526
00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:21,150
Um, you've, uh, this is, this
is, this is incredible for

527
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,220
me as a learning experience.

528
00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:25,900
Um, I, I appreciate you so much.

529
00:32:26,450 --> 00:32:27,030
Thanks, Jeff.

530
00:32:27,150 --> 00:32:27,500
It's been fun.

531
00:32:28,330 --> 00:32:28,670
Thanks.

532
00:32:29,470 --> 00:32:29,810
All right.

533
00:32:29,970 --> 00:32:30,290
Take care.

534
00:32:32,030 --> 00:32:36,080
Coming up next, we'll be chatting
with Kyle Hewson, Vice Chair and

535
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,620
Clinical Associate Professor in
the Doctorate in Physical Therapy

536
00:32:39,620 --> 00:32:42,289
program at Stonybrook University.

537
00:32:42,339 --> 00:32:43,560
Here's a quick preview.

538
00:32:44,510 --> 00:32:48,905
So the idea that They put up a
PowerPoint that they did in their

539
00:32:48,905 --> 00:32:50,665
first year with two or three people.

540
00:32:50,905 --> 00:32:55,364
Even just to show them how advanced
they've become in some of their

541
00:32:55,364 --> 00:32:59,614
presentations by the third year, you
know, they have this and that, and they're

542
00:32:59,614 --> 00:33:01,564
just, their references are awesome.

543
00:33:01,564 --> 00:33:03,864
And they're able to pull
in a video or something.

544
00:33:03,864 --> 00:33:07,055
So just, and they feel so much more
comfortable because they say, Oh, I

545
00:33:07,055 --> 00:33:11,705
was such a nervous person that first
time I had to get up 80, 80 students.

546
00:33:12,015 --> 00:33:13,815
You know, so, so it's kind of neat.

547
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:14,680
You know, that.

548
00:33:14,870 --> 00:33:15,870
See you next time!
