00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.810 align:middle line:84%
BLAKE DUFFER: I view my
skill set in education

00:00:06.810 --> 00:00:10.780 align:middle line:84%
is it's something that's
really valuable to me.

00:00:10.780 --> 00:00:14.460 align:middle line:84%
I want to try to learn something
every day to the day I retire

00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:20.750 align:middle line:84%
and, if I can, pass that on to
the next generation of nurses.

00:00:20.750 --> 00:00:23.120 align:middle line:84%
My name is Blake Duffer,
and I'm originally

00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:24.830 align:middle line:90%
from Charlotte County, Virginia.

00:00:24.830 --> 00:00:28.160 align:middle line:84%
And before choosing to go back
to school to become a nurse,

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.010 align:middle line:84%
I was a firefighter paramedic
for Chesterfield County

00:00:31.010 --> 00:00:33.460 align:middle line:90%
Fire and EMS.

00:00:33.460 --> 00:00:36.220 align:middle line:84%
ANDREA VALDEZ: I also love
that within nursing there's

00:00:36.220 --> 00:00:39.280 align:middle line:84%
a huge diversity
within what you can do.

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:41.470 align:middle line:84%
You can be an educator
to your patient.

00:00:41.470 --> 00:00:45.430 align:middle line:84%
You can be physically
helping them, s helping them.

00:00:45.430 --> 00:00:47.830 align:middle line:84%
There's just so many ways
that you help patients.

00:00:47.830 --> 00:00:50.740 align:middle line:84%
And I really love
that about nursing.

00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:52.210 align:middle line:90%
My name is Andrea Valdez.

00:00:52.210 --> 00:00:54.070 align:middle line:84%
And I'm from
Springfield, Virginia.

00:00:54.070 --> 00:00:57.430 align:middle line:84%
Right before this program, I
was an undergraduate student

00:00:57.430 --> 00:01:00.435 align:middle line:84%
at UVA studying
biology and psychology.

00:01:00.435 --> 00:01:02.560 align:middle line:84%
JOSEPH PESCATORE: I was
working as a business sales

00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:03.520 align:middle line:90%
representative.

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:05.800 align:middle line:84%
I was doing volunteer EMS
work, and that's really

00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:07.100 align:middle line:90%
where my passion was.

00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:09.460 align:middle line:84%
So I decided I wanted
to make a career change.

00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:12.459 align:middle line:84%
Nursing has always been
kind of on my radar.

00:01:12.459 --> 00:01:14.500 align:middle line:84%
And it was something that
I decided that I really

00:01:14.500 --> 00:01:16.450 align:middle line:84%
wanted to do to fulfill
that passion that I

00:01:16.450 --> 00:01:17.950 align:middle line:90%
have helping people.

00:01:17.950 --> 00:01:19.750 align:middle line:90%
My name is Joseph Pescatore.

00:01:19.750 --> 00:01:22.700 align:middle line:84%
I live here in Charlottesville,
Virginia with my family.

00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:26.170 align:middle line:84%
I'm a recent graduate of the
University of Virginia's CNL

00:01:26.170 --> 00:01:26.800 align:middle line:90%
program.

00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:29.800 align:middle line:84%
And I'm currently employed here
at the University of Virginia's

00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:31.260 align:middle line:90%
cardiothoracic ICU.

00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:41.674 align:middle line:90%


00:01:41.674 --> 00:01:42.840 align:middle line:90%
BLAKE DUFFER: Hi, Mr. Adams.

00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:44.049 align:middle line:90%
How are you doing today, sir?

00:01:44.049 --> 00:01:44.798 align:middle line:90%
MR. ADAMS: I'm OK.

00:01:44.798 --> 00:01:45.860 align:middle line:90%
I'm just a little tired.

00:01:45.860 --> 00:01:46.990 align:middle line:84%
BLAKE DUFFER: Well,
my name is Blake.

00:01:46.990 --> 00:01:48.930 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to be the nurse taking
care of you for the shift.

00:01:48.930 --> 00:01:49.560 align:middle line:90%
OK?

00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:50.730 align:middle line:90%
How's the pain right now?

00:01:50.730 --> 00:01:53.554 align:middle line:84%
Is it worse or better
than it was yesterday?

00:01:53.554 --> 00:01:55.747 align:middle line:84%
MR. ADAMS: I mean,
it's a little better.

00:01:55.747 --> 00:01:57.830 align:middle line:84%
BLAKE DUFFER: When I was
thinking about going back

00:01:57.830 --> 00:02:00.734 align:middle line:84%
to school, I had a bunch of
different factors running

00:02:00.734 --> 00:02:01.400 align:middle line:90%
through my head.

00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.275 align:middle line:84%
I was like do I want to
go to medical school.

00:02:03.275 --> 00:02:04.660 align:middle line:90%
Do I want to go to PA school?

00:02:04.660 --> 00:02:06.620 align:middle line:84%
Or do I want to go
to nursing school?

00:02:06.620 --> 00:02:11.660 align:middle line:84%
And the CNL program has
got so much leadership

00:02:11.660 --> 00:02:15.440 align:middle line:84%
built into the program that I
was interested from the start.

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:18.170 align:middle line:84%
And it was actually the only
program that I applied to.

00:02:18.170 --> 00:02:20.480 align:middle line:84%
So I kind of put all
my eggs in one basket.

00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:25.950 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHS]

00:02:25.950 --> 00:02:28.120 align:middle line:84%
ANDREA VALDEZ: So Emma,
this is baby Lucy.

00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.290 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to take a listen
to her lungs and her heart.

00:02:31.290 --> 00:02:34.640 align:middle line:84%
And can you get started
on getting ISpO2, Emma?

00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:35.695 align:middle line:90%
EMMA: Sure.

00:02:35.695 --> 00:02:37.070 align:middle line:84%
ANDREA VALDEZ:
OK, Lucy, I'm just

00:02:37.070 --> 00:02:39.196 align:middle line:84%
going to take a lesson
here to your lungs.

00:02:39.196 --> 00:02:42.550 align:middle line:90%


00:02:42.550 --> 00:02:45.022 align:middle line:84%
Right now it's been great
because I'm still a student,

00:02:45.022 --> 00:02:46.480 align:middle line:84%
and I'm comfortable
being a student

00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:49.180 align:middle line:84%
and learning and gaining
confidence in myself.

00:02:49.180 --> 00:02:50.500 align:middle line:90%
OK, heart sounds good.

00:02:50.500 --> 00:02:53.140 align:middle line:84%
But I'm really excited
to get to the point

00:02:53.140 --> 00:02:57.670 align:middle line:84%
where it's all on my own and
feel comfortable and confident

00:02:57.670 --> 00:02:58.240 align:middle line:90%
in my skills.

00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.927 align:middle line:90%


00:03:00.927 --> 00:03:03.010 align:middle line:84%
JOSEPH PESCATORE: How are
you doing today, Austin?

00:03:03.010 --> 00:03:03.425 align:middle line:90%
AUSTIN: Good morning.

00:03:03.425 --> 00:03:03.840 align:middle line:90%
How are you?

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:04.670 align:middle line:90%
Good to see you again.

00:03:04.670 --> 00:03:05.610 align:middle line:84%
JOSEPH PESCATORE:
You're looking great.

00:03:05.610 --> 00:03:06.672 align:middle line:90%
So how's everything been?

00:03:06.672 --> 00:03:08.130 align:middle line:84%
AUSTIN: Pretty good
so far I think.

00:03:08.130 --> 00:03:09.420 align:middle line:84%
JOSEPH PESCATORE:
Excellent, excellent.

00:03:09.420 --> 00:03:10.470 align:middle line:84%
So what I'm going
to do is I'm going

00:03:10.470 --> 00:03:12.760 align:middle line:84%
to do just a full comprehensive
assessment on you.

00:03:12.760 --> 00:03:15.270 align:middle line:84%
And then what we'll do is we'll
have the physician come in

00:03:15.270 --> 00:03:16.050 align:middle line:84%
and talk to you
after that as well.

00:03:16.050 --> 00:03:16.680 align:middle line:90%
AUSTIN: OK.

00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:17.555 align:middle line:90%
JOSEPH PESCATORE: OK?

00:03:17.555 --> 00:03:19.090 align:middle line:90%
AUSTIN: Sounds great.

00:03:19.090 --> 00:03:20.720 align:middle line:84%
JOSEPH PESCATORE: I
think the main key

00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:23.020 align:middle line:84%
of being a bedside
nurse is the fact

00:03:23.020 --> 00:03:25.240 align:middle line:84%
that we can put our
hands on the patient

00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.150 align:middle line:84%
and make a connection with
watching their progression

00:03:28.150 --> 00:03:29.590 align:middle line:90%
throughout the program.

00:03:29.590 --> 00:03:31.840 align:middle line:84%
I'm honored to be
in that position.

00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.470 align:middle line:84%
It's a very special
position to be in,

00:03:33.470 --> 00:03:37.359 align:middle line:84%
and it's one that I
take very seriously.

00:03:37.359 --> 00:03:39.400 align:middle line:84%
TIM CUNNINGHAM: So we're
going to go through IVs.

00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.460 align:middle line:84%
Let's split up into
groups of three.

00:03:42.460 --> 00:03:44.872 align:middle line:84%
Teresa will work in
this station here.

00:03:44.872 --> 00:03:46.330 align:middle line:84%
Chris will be in
this station here.

00:03:46.330 --> 00:03:47.538 align:middle line:90%
I'll be in this station here.

00:03:47.538 --> 00:03:48.190 align:middle line:90%
Here we go.

00:03:48.190 --> 00:03:51.100 align:middle line:84%
When I was a student
in the CNL program,

00:03:51.100 --> 00:03:53.770 align:middle line:84%
I was in the third
cohort, graduated 2009.

00:03:53.770 --> 00:03:56.650 align:middle line:84%
And there were only a
handful of CNL programs

00:03:56.650 --> 00:03:58.160 align:middle line:90%
across the country.

00:03:58.160 --> 00:04:01.390 align:middle line:84%
And I think UVA's decision
to start a CNL program

00:04:01.390 --> 00:04:04.480 align:middle line:90%
was very forward-thinking.

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:06.760 align:middle line:84%
We were trying to find
new, innovative ways

00:04:06.760 --> 00:04:08.590 align:middle line:84%
to address the
health care crisis

00:04:08.590 --> 00:04:10.030 align:middle line:84%
and bring in other
nurses, people

00:04:10.030 --> 00:04:12.010 align:middle line:84%
with other professional
experiences

00:04:12.010 --> 00:04:13.592 align:middle line:90%
who wanted to make a difference.

00:04:13.592 --> 00:04:15.800 align:middle line:84%
BLAKE DUFFER: All right,
we're going to go on three--

00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.440 align:middle line:90%
one, two, three.

00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:22.950 align:middle line:84%
Anything that I can do to help
any patient, no matter what

00:04:22.950 --> 00:04:25.770 align:middle line:84%
capacity it is, I'm
just I'm there to help.

00:04:25.770 --> 00:04:27.710 align:middle line:90%
That's what my goal is.

00:04:27.710 --> 00:04:29.460 align:middle line:84%
JOSEPH PESCATORE: We
are on the front line

00:04:29.460 --> 00:04:31.320 align:middle line:90%
of the change that can occur.

00:04:31.320 --> 00:04:35.220 align:middle line:84%
It is really up to the
nurses to cut the costs,

00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:38.760 align:middle line:84%
to reduce infection
rates, to reduce a lot

00:04:38.760 --> 00:04:41.320 align:middle line:90%
of the overhead in health care.

00:04:41.320 --> 00:04:45.240 align:middle line:84%
The nursing field is where the
biggest impact can be made.

00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.990 align:middle line:90%
