The Walking Home From The ICU podcast has been transformational in helping to change the culture in the small community ICU where I work. I am an occupational therapist and have wanted to implement early mobility in our facility for several years now. It wasn’t until I started listening to this podcast that this “want” became more than that. It became a “must.”
The podcast has made it so easy to share the passion I have gained. The stories of the patients and the knowledge of practitioners sharing their clinical practice advice are so valuable.
Kali Dayton has shared with our team her knowledge through a video format as well. She was able to answer nursing related questions that I, as an OT, haven’t been able to answer. She is professional and willing to share her knowledge and passion in order to make changes in the ICU community around the world.
