Can we manage pain and anxiety without medication? In today’s interview, we sit down with Jessica Hovland, DNP, RN, CPAN, NE-BC, PMGT-BC, registered nurse and the Senior Director for UT Health Austin’s Ambulatory Surgery Center, to answer this question! Tune in to discover how Jessica’s DNP research blended multimodal analgesia and virtual reality to offer surgical patients a non-opioid treatment option for postoperative pain. We’ll learn about her research, we’ll discuss what she learned, and we’ll uncover the unexpected benefits that she found for using virtual reality. Stay tuned!
