Buying a Dental Practice Everyone Said Was a Mistake - with Dr. Jen Moran
Dr. Jen Moran's favorite mistake was buying a dental practice her attorney and accountant told her not to buy. They quit when she went ahead.

Her second mistake, an impulsive technology purchase, was the one she had to undo - and how she did it shaped her reputation.

🗒️ Assembly-Line Nursing Was Meant to Be Temporary
There's a nursing model where one nurse passes medications to every patient on the unit and does nothing else.

An aide does baths and vital signs.
Nobody is responsible for a patient.
Everybody is responsible for a task.
Enjoy,
