Jcub’s Journey: An Unexpected Illness and the Lessons That Can Transform Healthcare

May 14, 2025 | 11:00AM - 12:00PM PT

As a Certified Medical/Surgical RN, I enjoy and appreciate the wide variety of nursing care opportunities that Med/Surg offers. But caring for our mental health patients carries a particularly meaningful significance for me. As a nurse with a passion for teaching and collaborating with fellow nurses, I’d like to share with you not only my professional experience with this issue, but also my own family’s very personal journey in navigating the mental health care system, and how we as caregivers – and society in general – can do better.

Presentation topics include:

  • Give a name and a face to the mental health crisis, and bring awareness to this issue
  • Encourage compassionate care for our patients with mental health struggles
  • Share tips on how we can assist our patients and their families in navigating the mental health care experience
