In this episode we are joined by special guest Taylor Rogerson NP. Taylor works as an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner in the Medical ICU at Boston Medical Center. Taylor joins us to discuss her very unique role as an NP in an ICU setting and how this differs from most NP roles.. Taylor's ability to perform many of the same interventions typically only granted to physicians makes her position extremely unique, and with the projected shortage of physicians in the coming years, may be a glimpse of the future with regard to ICU providers. From placing centralized IV catheters, to lumbar punctures, to managing multiple complex ICU patients, Taylor helps to explain how the NP in the ICU is utilized, and her experiences in this very busy and challenging environment.
