In this episode of Happy Hour with Bundle Birth Nurses, Sarah and Justine are joined by Bundle Birth Educator and expert witness Jen Atkisson for a practical conversation about how nurses can confidently read, interpret, and apply research in clinical practice. They explore common biases in studies, the difference between statistical and clinical significance, and how research can be both empowering and misused at the bedside. Jen breaks down a recent meta-analysis on discontinuing Pitocin in active labor, offering insight into what the evidence actually shows and how we can use our brilliant nurse brains to elevate care.
