An Incredible Found Down Story with Nicole Kupchik, Critical Care CNS, Author, Speaker and Educator

On today's episode, I sit down with the legend herself, Nicole Kupchik, MN, RN, CCNS, CCRN-K, PCCN-K, Critical Care Clinical Care Nurse Specialist, educator, author, speaker and founder of Nicole Kupchik Consulting.

We chat about how Nicole is holding up during the pandemic, how she expertly pivoted her business the moment she realized everything was going to change and her thoughts on the fallout of the pandemic for healthcare providers. She offers up some really thoughtful advice for how we should take care of ourselves and opens up about one of the most difficult experiences of her life - unexpectedly losing her mom.

Nicole shares an amazing and riveting Found Down story where she performed bystander CPR story at the airport. Talk about being in the right place at the right time! You are really going to want to listen to this! And she tells us her thoughts about how we can get better bystander cpr rates.

Thank you Nicole for doing the show! You are an absolute inspiration, leader and pioneer.

Much love,

Nicole J.
