Guest Quotes:

4:31 Noelle: “Every location is just a little bit different. But I think the thing that ties us all together is that we’re passionate about acute care and we’re passionate about education.”

4:44 Katie: “A theme that I see that’s common between a lot of our members is that, you know, there’s no formal training for what they’re doing. They either created the role or it was kind of thrust upon them in some form or fashion because they demonstrated leadership skills in mentoring or onboarding or just  elevating the profession in that way.”

12:52 Noelle (on the webinar): “We just talked about kind of how it got started in each of our different locations and what our roles are and just trying to give people a little bit of an idea of how they might be able to get it started in their own organization.”

22:04 Katie (on the pros of being a rehab educator): “It allows me to practice at the top of my scope and make sure that I’m pushing the envelope in a positive way.  Like I’m not just a person who just comes up and walks people. I’m gonna have a really strong discussion about the benefits of mobility and how I can serve the team and reach the patient’s functional goals and also and not be held back by like not knowing how to use a piece of equipment or something along those lines.”

Rapid Responses:

What is your favorite book?

Noelle: “The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah”

Katie: “The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver”

You know, you work in acute care when…

Noelle: “You can talk about gross things like open wounds at the dinner table and not get grossed out.”

Katie: “Yep. That that was, we had almost the exact same answer on the chat form, so I second that.”
