In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Erica and Nurse Jessica welcome Kelli Johnson, an RN and advocate for healthcare reform. The conversation delves into Kelli's journey as a nurse, her experiences with staffing issues, and her involvement in legislative efforts to improve patient safety. They discuss the lack of accountability in healthcare administrators who are not currently required to hold any licensure. Accountability should extend to all levels of hospital management. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the challenges and implications of healthcare staffing laws, particularly focusing on the newly introduced HB 1567, which aims to hold hospital administrators accountable for their decisions impacting patient care. The conversation touches on the legislative process and defining who should be required to have a license in hospital administration. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accountability in healthcare and the need for systemic changes to ensure patient safety.
