The Power of a Happy Heart, Nourishing the Nurse Within You
Nurses, not just ‘Care Givers’ you are ‘Rare Givers'
What separates Diana Jordan from other speakers, humorists, and motivational speakers, is that she has lived of what she speaks. In her very entertaining keynote, Diana speaks of losing both of her parents before she was 39 and how in their last years, she helped them find their senses of humor to life live to its fullest.
Diana will have your healthcare staff laughing while delivering a serious message about managing stress and work/life balance.
Perfect for nurses, doctors, and caregivers of all kinds, this program emphasizes how we naturally gravitate towards people that have a good sense of humor. Workers, it's proven, are happier and more productive when they are around people who know when to take life a little less seriously.
Also making an appearance in Diana's presentation is "Ms. Tammy" – the world's oldest (and most cantankerous) nurse!
Some excerpts from Diana's hilarious program:
O.B.G.Y.N: sounds like a character in Star Wars. “Excuse me OBGYN, you have the Wookies. Looks like you'll be Hans Solo for awhile. CAT Scan: stands for "Costs About a Thousand" dollars.
California–based Health Insurance: if you can't afford your co-pay they air–brush your x-rays until you can!
Prescription Drug Cost: ‘I discovered my dog gets prescribed the same medicine I do. I dropped my Health Insurance and got pet insurance! It’s $39 a month and all the Kibble I can eat!”
ED: no longer just the name of a guy you dated in high school.
Emergency Room Docs: just like Emergency vehicle sirens. You usually don’t know where they're going but you try like hell to keep out of their way.
You might be a Nurse if...
- when using a public restroom, you wash your hands with soap for a full minute and turn off the faucets with your elbows.
- when you tell a man you meet for the first time you're a nurse, you're expected to laugh hysterically when he asks you for a sponge bath, as if it was the most original and wittiest thing you've ever heard.
- your favorite dream is the one where you leave a mess at a patient's bedside and tell a doctor to clean it up.
- you use a plastic 30cc medicine cup for a shot glass.
