Presenter: Patricia H. Strachan RN PhD

Host of Radical Nurse Talk, a podcast that explores nurses’ communication in serious situations and illness as a radical act of care.

In this learning salon, podcasts will be introduced as an educational resource for nurses in basic and continuing education. Based on her experience as host of Radical Nurse Talk (radicalnursetalk.com) and as a nurse educator, the possibilities for podcasts to engage learners and foster communication skills will be discussed. To those new to the world of podcasts, this is a great time to learn about a growing world-wide media trend that can be freely accessed anytime or place and that may hold appeal to learners, both novice and experienced.
