Cheers and welcome to The S-BAR!


This is a space for all of us who live, breathe, or somehow landed in the world of healthcare…. nurses, docs, APN’s, PA’s, students, techs, family members, or anyone just trying to understand what the hell goes on behind the scenes.

We use SBAR to communicate at work, so why not use it here?

We could’ve called it The SOAP note…
but let’s be real, a BAR is cooler.


Situation. Background. Assessment. Recommendation.
Let’s talk about what’s really going on, and maybe figure it out together.

Pull up a chair. You’re in the right place.

I am married to my best friend and we have a beautiful daughter who is also our best friend. 3 boston terriers and 1 kitty. Yoga, wine, traveling, beach, wandering...
