We're back with new stories, new voices, and a renewed commitment to spotlighting nurse-led innovation. As SEE YOU NOW celebrates 5 years of sharing the bold ideas and groundbreaking work of nurses, we're looking ahead to the next chapter and amplifying the ways nurses are leading transformative change in healthcare.  In upcoming episodes, we'll explore patient safety with Don Berwick and Patricia McGaffigan, tackle access and workforce challenges, dig into mental health innovation, continue our AI in Play series, and more.   Subscribe, share, and stay tuned—because when we support nurses, we advance better health for all.   

One of the biggest barriers standing between millions of Americans and programs assisting with food, utilities, and healthcare is—wait for it—enrollment paperwork. It's not so much the lack of programs or their awareness of them, it's the capacity, across many touchpoints in the health and human services ecosystem to support navigating the paperwork and enrollment process. In fact, in 2024, 5 million children lost their Medicaid coverage due to paperwork or procedural reasons. In this episode, part of our AI in Play series, emergency care nurse, health innovator, and entrepreneur Kwamane Liddell, JD, MHA, BSN, shares how AI is helping remove the paperwork roadblocks such as internet access, low literacy, and stigma standing between families and resources, and between care providers and the people they care for. At ThriveLink, multi-lingual,  Agentic AI-powered chatbots are available to anyone via a quick, free phone call. These telephonic enrollment agents walk people through complex forms out loud, turning confusing text into a simple conversation. This technology-based solution connects a world of existing resources, from food delivery to utility payment assistance to reduced-priced medications for millions of families, delivering a billion dollars worth of social resources.

AI is everywhere! From delivering the tacos you crave to the car you drive to the clinical trial you might need -- it's reshaping our world and our work. AI-based technologies are helping solve complex problems in nearly every discipline, industry, and human endeavor. And in healthcare, artificial intelligence is a game-changer.  AI-based technologies do many things faster and better than humans can alone, with the promise of so much more ahead. And with that, comes a lot of questions, possibilities and well-founded concerns.    In this first episode – of many to come exploring AI's role in transforming healthcare – we're starting with the basics and the big picture:   What is artificial intelligence? How can we ensure AI is safe, equitable, and beneficial for all? How should healthcare professionals think about and integrate AI into clinical settings? We reached out to veteran researcher and leading expert in computer science, machine learning, and AI, Peter Stone PhD, and nurse attorney and bioethicist Liz Stokes JD, MA, RN to explore these questions and dive into ANA's position statement ‘The Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Practice,' as well as McKinsey & Company's report ‘The pulse of nurses' perspectives on AI in healthcare delivery.' Together, they explore the transformative potential of AI in healthcare and how to ensure it serves everyone safely and equitably.   Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and more information on the podcast bundles visit ANA's Innovation Website at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.

Indigenous nurses bring more than clinical expertise to their practice—they bring a legacy of resilience, cultural knowledge, and a commitment to holistic care that honors their ancestors, culture, and history. For Native and Indigenous nurses, advancing practice means blending tradition and cultural humility with innovation to meet the unique needs of their communities, build trust, and transform health outcomes.   In this episode, we learn from Chippewa Indian Nurse researcher and educator Misty Wilkie PhD, RN, FAAN an Indigenous nurse director of the Doctoral Education Pathway for American Indian/Alaska Native Nurses at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing, to explore how the Center for Indigenous People, Health & Nursing is devoted to improving the health and well-being of Indigenous people and communities works toward reconciliation. Aiming to eliminate health disparities by building trusting relationships with Tribal Nations, developing evidence-based practices, and preparing doctorally trained Indigenous healthcare leaders, Misty Wilkie emphasizes the power of honoring tradition, language, and strengths to shape more inclusive, equitable healthcare systems.   Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and more information on the podcast bundles visit ANA's Innovation Website at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.

Around the world, millions of children undergo surgeries requiring general anesthesia; and along with it, the universal and understandable experience of – anxiety. A peak moment of anxiety and stress often occurs during anesthesia induction when a mask needs to be placed on a child's face. It's a stressful experience for kids, parents, and staff and studies have shown that high anxiety before surgery is associated with poorer outcomes after surgery.    In this moment of awareness episode, nurse practitioner, researcher, and intrapreneur Abby Hess, APRN, DNP shares her experiences witnessing countless children in distress during the pre-surgery process; her clever and Mary Poppins-level of creativity to rethinking the mask as part of a game; and the collaborators and mentors she learned from and turned to to sustain her commitment to inventing a game that shifts the focus from something scary to something calming and fun and improves the entirety of surgical experience and outcomes.    Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and to find more about the podcast bundles visit ANA's Innovation Website at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.

History and experience show that nurses raising their voices shape health policy. From advancing the profession to advocating for patients, nurses are well-positioned to articulate and champion the changes and legislation needed for better health, care, and access. That's the idea behind the American Nurses Association's (ANA) annual ‘Hill Day,' which focuses on advocating in the United States Congress for the more than 5 million nurses across the U.S. and the people and communities they care for. In this episode, we're on the ground in Washington, DC meeting with nurses who are showing up and speaking up at ANA Hill Day 2024, and exploring engagement and advocacy – at the local, state and national levels – in the nursing profession. Tune in to hear from ANA President Jennifer Mensik Kennedy PhD, RN, NEA-BC  and ANA VP for Policy and Government Affairs Tim Nanof what advocating for families, communities and the workforce sounds like and why more than 500 nurses came to the U.S. Capitol to do so.    Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and to find out more information on the podcast bundles visit ANA's Innovation Website at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.

Voting and health. It's a pairing with a growing body of evidence (and even its very own Index!)  supporting the links between this powerful duo and how they impact and amplify one another and dramatically shape the health of individuals, communities and democracies. From green spaces to clean air, policy decisions impact our health and wellbeing just as much – and often more – than any individual health decision we make. When communities vote, they impact those policies.  Research indicates that voting may actually help us feel better and more connected to our communities. In this episode we take a closer look at civic health and learn from nurses Jeanne Ayers RN, MPH, Lisa Schavrien RN, BSN and Erin Ainslie Smith MS, BSN, CPST how healthcare professionals and systems are making and achieving civic engagement a national and local health goal; and the creative and innovative approaches to removing barriers to voting that improve the health and wellbeing of patients, colleagues, communities -- and democracy itself.

It's been a hot 12 months – according to the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service, June 2024 was the thirteenth consecutive month of record-breaking global temperatures. The Centers for Disease Control estimates approximately 1,200 people in the United States are killed by extreme heat each year, and that number is expected to rise as hotter temps increase the incidences of heat stroke and dehydration, especially among vulnerable populations such as children, unhoused individuals, and the elderly. There is no doubt that climate change and extreme heat represent a substantial public health threat - one that nurses are poised to address as leaders in community health. In this episode, we feature a sampler and playlist of how nurses are at the forefront of addressing and responding to the health and economic impacts of extreme heat and weather-related events.   Featured episodes:    104: Practicing Green Health 89: Taking Care: Nursing's Power to Change Our World 51: The Planet is Our Patient 90: Mobile Medical and Mental Health Team 57: Safety First 42: Disaster Ready 88: Planetary Health Healers Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and to find out more information on the podcast bundles visit ANA's Innovation Website at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.

In our ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, access to quality, expert care remains a significant challenge, particularly for historically marginalized communities who have well-documented health disparities. As the conversation surrounding gender-affirming care grows, an unfortunate truth remains: LGBTQIA+ individuals face significant barriers when accessing care and navigating healthcare systems that are not designed or equipped – and sometimes outright refuse – to support them remains a significant challenge.    In this episode, mission-driven nurses Teddy Tinnell MSN, RN (he/him) and Kate Steinle MSN, NP (she/hers) share how FOLX HEALTH, the largest LGBTQIA+-centric health and wellness platform, is leveraging technology to break down barriers that affect access to care. We discuss what it takes to continually redesign and rebuild a respectful, expert, scalable, transformed telehealth delivery platform and model centered on the needs, locations, and health disparities of the LGTBQIA+ community and how doing so improves and expands access and exceptional care for all.   Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and to find out more about the podcast bundles visit ANA's Innovation Website at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.

Despite broad awareness and agreement on the need for massive and urgent investment in nursing to transform our complex health and care systems, the American Nurses Foundation's Philanthropic Support for the Nursing Profession report revealed that nursing receives just one penny of every healthcare philanthropy dollar. In this third and final episode in our series of rare, in-depth unscripted conversations with philanthropists, fundraisers, program managers, executive directors, grantees, and innovators we explore the creative, strategic, and evidence-based approaches to investing and fostering nurses as drivers of transformative, systemic change in health systems.   In conversations with Marion Leary, PhD, MPH, RN, Director of Innovation at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Nursing, Howard Reid, Johnson & Johnson Global Head of Global Health Equity, and Ahrin Mishan Executive Director of The Rita and Alex Hillman Foundation, we hear the connection between nurses as catalysts in care delivery transformation and investments in leadership programming and the concern that without addressing the current and significant workplace stresses, the attrition of well trained, skilled nurses from the profession will continue.   Through strategic, targeted, and enduring investments that evolve alongside changing workforce needs, programs like the Hillman Foundation's nurse innovation grants, Design Thinking for Health, Johnson & Johnson's Nursing Innovation Fellowship, and NurseHack4Health demonstrate their powerful impact on career growth, longevity, and preparing nurses in taking on leadership roles within their institutions, in the broader health care sector, and at all levels of public policy. These thought leaders encourage more funders to look at nursing as an investment in accelerating the improvement of our healthcare systems and make clear that nurses are best positioned to identify, implement, and disseminate innovative strategies to advance health care access, quality and equity.

Our kids are not okay. Social isolation, technology use, and mental health conditions like anxiety and depression are all spiking for children and teens. The US Surgeon General's Advisory on Protecting Youth Mental Health conveys, “the challenges today's generation of young people face are unprecedented and uniquely hard to navigate. And the effect these challenges have had on their mental health is devastating” and has had an outsized impact on youth in foster care. In the U.S. nearly half a million children are in foster care every year, many of whom experience trauma, instability, separation, loss, and neglect. As Foster Care Awareness and Mental Health Awareness both fall in May we're amplifying their messages and learning how foster care and mental health are powerfully connected through the “Foster Care to PhD” lived and professional experiences of nurse practitioner and foster care survivor Sharrica Miller, PhD, RN.    In this episode, Sharrica offers an unvarnished account of the foster care experience; discusses how nurses can use their advocacy and clinical skills to collaborate with social services to protect and provide stability for children in foster care; and shares her research, mentoring, and advocacy for legislative and policy changes to improve the child welfare system, ensuring their health and well-being as they transition out of foster care.   Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and for information on the podcast bundles visit ANA's Innovation website at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.

Imagine – healthy people living in equitable and resilient communities on a thriving planet! That's the vision of Practice Greenhealth, a sustainability network delivering environmental solutions to more than 1,700 hospitals and health systems in the US and Canada. Healthcare sustainability is important work – if the healthcare sector were a country, it would be the fifth largest carbon emitter on the planet. The impact of environmental factors on human health is apparent now more than ever. The World Health Organization estimates that improved environmental conditions could prevent nearly a quarter of global diseases, citing climate change as a global public health threat. Healthcare leaders are recognizing the operational, strategic, financial and health equity importance of sustainability and resilience practices and taking impressive action in reducing their organization's environmental footprint, waste, greenhouse gas emissions, and more. In this episode, we learn from clinical experts and sustainability champions Shanda Demorest DNP, RN, PHN, Jonathan Perlin MD, PhD, Jessica Wolff MBA, MSN, Emma Pascale Blakey PhD, RN, and Beth Schenk PhD, MHI, RN-BC how healthcare as a sector is leaning into the generational demand and momentum for environmental stewardship in healthcare and about the vast array of tools, resources, and examples of practicing green health sustainably.

We're cheering on runners in the 2024 Boston Marathon this week by having another listen to our episode featuring Nurse Practitioner, elite runner, and Guinness World Record holder, Samantha Roecker, FNP. A competitive runner and nurse, she has a *track record* (pun intended) of breaking barriers and addressing stigmas, and for the 2022 Boston Marathon, she combined her passion for nursing and running into mental health advocacy and raising awareness for healthcare workforce well-being. Inspired by British nurse and marathon record holder, Jessica Anderson, Sam embarked on a bold goal – breaking the Guinness World Record for fastest marathon run in a nurse's uniform and raising thousands of dollars to support nurse well-being. In this episode, we talk with Samantha about her record-breaking run, the impact stigma has on seeking mental health services and preventing people from reaching their potential, the power of nurse-specific mental health support, and the surprising overlap between nursing and competitive running.    Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and for more information on podcast bundles, visit ANA's Innovation Website at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.

March 2024 marks two years since President Biden signed into law the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act. This landmark, first-of-its-kind legislation has funded more than $100 million in grants to implement strategies to reduce and prevent burnout, stress and suicide, sustain well-being, and build workplace cultures and practices so our healthcare workforce can thrive!    The law and the recent bipartisan resolution designating March 18th as Health Workforce Well-Being Day of Awareness is keeping the spotlight and urgency on this workforce crisis and helping reduce stigma, advance research, and ensure that those who care for us can get the care they need.   So we're having another listen to this episode recorded Live at Aspen Ideas: Health in 2023 where an expert panel led by nurse economist Shawna Butler, RN, MBA, vividly describes how many of our health workplaces and practices are exhausting, overly burdensome, and causing moral distress. Kathy Howell, MBA, BSN, RN, NEA-BC, former Chief Nurse Executive, UCHealth; Corey Feist, President and Co-Founder, Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation; and Iman Abuzeid, CEO and Co-Founder, Incredible Health, provide insight into what healthcare talent is seeking from their careers, how forward-leaning health executives are responding to market conditions and workforces that have dramatically shifted, and the readily available system level policy changes urgently needed to support and sustain a thriving health workforce.

There is perhaps no greater source of women's history-making and contributions to society, science, and social systems than healthcare and the nursing profession with its historically high representation of women among its ranks. In 2024 Women's History Month focuses on those women who have and continue to advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion, and SEE YOU NOW is filled with stories of women making an impact across these dimensions.    In this episode, the SEE YOU NOW team digs into our past episodes to highlight women who have and continue to shape history and share our perspectives on why the work of these women -- many of whom are using their nursing superpowers -- to identify, advocate, and hasten equity and representation creates a better future for all and a writes a history that carries forward these important lessons, roadmaps, and contributions.   Featured History Makers and Episodes: 6: Empowering Childbirth, Rubth Watson Lubic   38: Mentoring for a More Equitable Future, Wallena Gould   63: Affirming Care Ally, Dallas Ducar   67: Nurses You Should Know, Joanna Seltzer Uribe and Ravenne Aponte   97: Social Determinants of Employment, Audria Denker, Emily Fairchild, Juatise Gathings 88: Planetary Health Healers, Kasey Bellegarde   47: A Vote for Moms' Health, Lauren Underwood   31: Black Midwives and Mamas Matter, Joia Crear-Perry, Monica McLemore, Jennie Joseph   Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and to find out more about podcast bundles visit ANA's Innovation Website at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.

While not always obvious, the invisible hand of policy is ever-present, shaping our lives, and impacting our health. Much of a nation's most significant disparities and inequities are rooted in policy decisions that, intentionally or unintentionally, limit access to healthcare, education, transportation, nutrition, childcare and more. The good news: Policy is also one of the most impactful avenues for driving progress toward the health and wellbeing of every citizen. In this episode, we meet nurse Vincent Guilamo-Ramos, PhD, MPH, LCSW, RN, executive director of The Institute for Policy Solutions at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, a new institute working to redesign the US healthcare system with the goal of shifting policy and practice to more preventive, value-based and whole-person care. Based in Washington, D.C., right down the street from the U.S. Capitol, Guilamo-Ramos shares the Institute's mission of teaching, research, and convening, and its deep commitment to social welfare, social justice, and public health, as well as the essential role nurses play in shaping solutions, policy, and systems to improve health for every community and every citizen.

Despite decades of growing interest in improving Black men's health and the health disparities affecting them, the health of Black men consistently ranks lowest across nearly all groups in the United States. In this update, we're reconnecting with Julius Johnson, DNP, RN, FNP-BC, a Nurse Practitioner, educator, and football coach, for an update on how he's keeping youth athletes safe on the playing fields, and resharing the Stories from Heart of Health event held in New York City in the middle of the U.N. General Assembly. Tune in to hear his perspective on supporting Black men's health, as he describes meeting them where they feel most confident – barbershops, sports fields, and churches – and embracing any event or touchpoint as a teaching moment – like the cardiac arrest suffered mid-game by NFL player Damar Hamlin as an opportunity to demonstrate how to perform CPR and open a door to deeper conversations that help men of all ages take better care of themselves both on and off the field.   Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and earn free CNE credits by listening to curated podcast bundles via the American Nurses Association Innovation webpage.

From our first episode, SEE YOU NOW has been focused on trailblazers, changemakers and pioneers, and our 100th episode features a nurse who embodies these values. Virginia Allen, LPN is the last known living Black Angel, part of a group of Black nurses recruited from the Jim Crow South whose tireless efforts led to a cure for tuberculosis, a disease responsible for nearly 18% of New York City deaths in the early 1900s. This story follows the Black Angels who, for twenty years, risked their lives working under dreadful conditions while caring for the city's poorest and played a major role in desegregating New York City hospitals along with nursing practice, education, and professional associations including the American Nurses Association.   In this episode, recorded live at the 2023 DNPs of Color conference, Virginia and  Maria Smilios, author of the new book, ‘The Black Angels: The Untold Story of the Nurses who Helped Cure Tuberculosis' share their story with Nurses You Should Know creators Joanna Seltzer Uribe and Ravenne Aponte to the next generation of nursing innovators and trailblazers.

A choir for nurses, art tours for clinicians, on-demand meditation for all healthcare workers. In this episode, we're sharing a panel discussion recorded live at Aspen Ideas: Health, hosted by Jon LaPook, MD and featuring Winnie Mele, RN, David Ko, and Eric Wei, MD, to learn how clinical settings are testing support and wellness interventions to boost emotional health and tame the widespread stress and burnout among nurses, physicians and all healthcare providers that intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to strain so many. Clinical staff are reporting remarkable improvements in morale and motivation from these creative approaches. Effective patient care is best delivered by a compassionate care team, and that means designing programs to heal the healers.   Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and earn free CNE credits by listening to curated podcast bundles via the American Nurses Association Innovation webpage at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.

Our stories are incredibly powerful. Stories are part of who we are as nurses -- it's how we gather evidence, unravel medical mysteries, distract people from unpleasant procedures, how we build trust and rapport, and humanize individual and collective experiences. Research indicates that whether the story is a happy one or a hard one -- just knowing the stories of pivotal life experiences helps marshal psychological strengths.   In this episode, recorded in front of a live audience in Chicago at the 2023 American Nurses Credentialing Center National Magnet Conference® and Pathway to Excellence Conference®, nurses shared – in stories and verse – identifying gaps in care, the problems needing attention and solutions, and the partnerships that make us better. Featured in this episode are nurses Jean Ross, RN; Jodi Traver, PhD, RN; Jasmine Bhatti, PhD, RN; Mary Anne Schultz, PhD, MBA, MSN, RN, FAAN; Joey Ferry, BSN, RN; Taofiki Gafar Schaner, MSN, RN; Lindsey Roddy, PhD(c), RN; Stephanie Martinez, MBA, RN; Lorie Hassel-Chuang, BSN, RN, RDH; Paul Coyne, DNP, MBA, MSF, RN, APRN, AGPCNP-BC.   Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and earn free CNE credits by listening to curated podcast bundles via the American Nurses Association Innovation webpage.

Homelessness across the U.S. is on the rise. The National Alliance to End Homelessness reports the number of unsheltered and chronically homeless individuals and families has climbed ~6% annually since 2017, and an estimated 582,462 people experienced homelessness across America in 2022. Advocacy groups and researchers say a big driving force is the decline of affordable housing, a problem decades in the making but one that has grown significantly worse in the past few years. And when people lose their homes, housing and shelter, their lives, health, and safety become far more complex and at risk.   In observance of Homelessness Awareness Month, we're listening again to this important episode centered on the stories, proven solutions, and care models that are meaningfully improving the health and lives of our most complex community members. Nurse Lauran Hardin, MSN, CNL, FNAP, FAAN shares how inviting a broad range of community agencies to collaboratively address and solve complex situations and care needs improves housing access, reduces avoidable and unnecessary hospital visits, supports behavioral health, and provides the deep satisfaction healthcare professionals experience when people get the full range of health, housing, and human services they need for healthy, joyful, connected lives.   Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and earn free CNE credits by listening to curated podcast bundles via the American Nurses Association website.

A key component of sound mental health that may help protect against depression and anxiety is resilience, and key to building it is knowing that you're connected to a greater purpose – to a story larger than your own. For Native and Indigenous peoples, the stories of origin, history, and identity are central in building resilience and experiencing optimal health. In this episode, we meet Indigenous nurse researcher John Lowe RN, PhD, FAAN, and discover how he is addressing the long-standing structural impediments that have kept American Indian, Alaska Native and Indigenous youth from connecting to their cultural heritage and identities, and to a history that he describes as a source of great strength. John established the first Center for Indigenous Nurse Research For Health Equity where he is innovating on ancestral wisdom and tradition—through practices like the Virtual Talking Circle—to enable Indigenous youth to move away from harmful behaviors and move toward lives and coping mechanisms that are both positive and strength-based.

The link between nursing, voting, and health equity and outcomes might not seem obvious, but for the health professionals who have campaigned, served and ushered in meaningful legislation, the relationship is a natural one. When individuals and communities vote, they influence policy decisions that have a big effect on their health.  Celebrated every September since 2012, National Voter Registration Day has quickly gained momentum with more than 5 million Americans registered to vote through the coordinated volunteer efforts of media, civic groups, and yes, health care providers and organizations.   In recognition of the vital link between health and voting and a reminder to verify your voter registration and help others to do the same, we're having another listen to an earlier episode with public health nurse and Delaware Lt Governor Bethany Hall-Long, where we discover how clinical practice, nursing expertise and research, and voting are critical drivers of influencing, passing, and enacting legislation to keep citizens, our environment, and our economy healthy.

We're swapping episodes with our friends at Radio Advisory to hear what they're learning that can help address pressing workforce issues in healthcare, while Radio Advisory listeners are checking out an episode of SEE YOU NOW.   Recent research shows that health workforce vacancies – particularly among registered nurses – is the top issue for healthcare CEOs. While nursing vacancies are challenging for nursing departments, there are a host of systemwide problems that will impact quality and safety alongside an organization's ability to grow.   In this Radio Advisory episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods speaks with Advisory Board's Chief Nursing Officer, Carol Boston, and two leaders from University Hospitals – Chief Quality & Clinical Transformation Officer, Peter Pronovost, and Chief Nursing Executive, Michelle Hereford – about recent data and their experiences navigating the complexity of the workforce vacancies. They share key insights and explore how reduced staffing is impacting health organizations at large, why organizations can't seem to find a solution, and how addressing tactical issues alone will not solve the crisis.   We're delighted to introduce you to the Radio Advisory podcast and why it's a vital part of the healthcare podcasting listening-scape.   Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounow.com and earn free CNE credits by listening to curated podcast bundles via the American Nurses Association.

High vacancy and turnover rates in our healthcare workforce are today's well-documented reality putting safe, affordable, quality healthcare at risk for everyone. In this episode, recorded live at Aspen Ideas: Health, an expert panel led by nurse economist Shawna Butler, RN, MBA, vividly describes how many of our health workplaces and practices are exhausting, overly burdensome, and causing moral distress and early career departures of our talented, dedicated, and overworked healthcare professionals. Kathy Howell, MBA, BSN, RN, NEA-BC, Chief Nurse Executive, UCHealth; Corey Feist, President and Co-Founder, Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation; and Iman Abuzeid, CEO and Co-Founder, Incredible Health, provide insight into what healthcare talent is seeking from their careers, how forward-leaning health executives are responding to market conditions and workforces that have dramatically shifted, and the readily available system level policy changes urgently needed to support and sustain a thriving health workforce.

It's broadly accepted that only 20% of health outcomes are determined by medical care. The other 80% are determined by the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, learn, work and age; circumstances shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local levels -- what is better understood as the political determinants of health -- voting, government, and policy. And the more people who vote in your community, the healthier your community is.   As nurses and midwives witness health access and outcomes increasingly being determined by ballot measures or wrapped in policy decisions, they are turning their next steps of advocacy and activism into running for elected public office. In this episode, we explore with Kimberly Gordon, DNP, CRNA, co-founder of the nonpartisan non-profit Healing Politics, why nurses and midwives need to get politically engaged, run for elected office up and down the ballot, what campaign training sounds like, and how to build a culture of civic engagement within the nursing professions.   Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounow.com and earn free CNE credits by listening to curated podcast bundles via the American Nurses Association.

As the temperatures rise and vacations are afoot, there's no better time to indulge in uninterrupted hours of podcast listening. And to make your listening easy, enjoyable, and thoughtful we've created a Summer SEE YOU NOW Playlist! Given that the US and much of the world are experiencing scorching temperatures with roughly one in three Americans living under an extreme heat advisory -- we've included See You Now episodes that shed light on heat-related health matters. We're also thinking about how summer is a time when graduations and moves take place -- and the perfect moment to check your voter registration status and consider the surprising impact voting has on your personal and community's health as we gear up for Civic Health Month in August and all its upcoming activities.  During the past year, so many conversations have centered on our relationship with work and very specifically the healthcare workforce -- exploring in depth and detail “what's working for work” and what thriving, engaged, productive work environments and workforces look like, how you build them, and how you sustain them.  Summer also signals a more relaxed pace affording time to ponder, synthesize, and discuss weightier complex topics that require deeper reflection, consideration, and commitment to progress. For just that type of listening, we've included See You Now episodes that go deeper into the rich, beautiful, incomplete, and complicated history of nursing and its power to change people, careers, and our world. So whatever comes your way this summer, See You Now has you covered with great listening, learning, and inspiration to enjoy and share with your friends and family. Summer SEE YOU NOW Playlist! 51: The Patient is our Planet 55: Ready to Vote? 90: Mobile Medical and Mental Health Team 75: The Point of Care 86: Representation Matters 64: Reporting Powers: Leading with Love 87: Tackling Black Men's Health Listen Again 67: Nurses You Should Know 91: Reckoning with Racism (Part I) 92: Reckoning with Racism (Part II) 89: Nursing's Power to Change Our World

Around the world, cancer is on the rise in people under the age of 50 – an upward march that has been underway for decades. Even with stunning new advances in research, early detection, and treatment, many clinicians are worried about the prevalence of certain cancers, including breast, colon, kidney, liver, esophageal, and pancreatic cancers, in younger people. What's more, practitioners and public health experts are deeply concerned about missed screenings and delayed preventive care as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact that will have on persistent racially driven health disparities in cancer care, treatment, and survivorship for minority communities.  In this Moment of Awareness, Nurse Practitioner and researcher Timiya Nolan, PhD, APRN-CNP, ANP-BC describes her research as a “work of love” to young Black women, how representation allows research to move from academia to practice, and the power clinicians have in addressing disparities in care through partnership and collaboration with communities.

Racism in America remains pervasive. It's led to sicker, shorter lives for people of color; a healthcare workforce that hasn't reflected the communities it cares for; and caused harm to nursing and nurses, particularly nurses of color. Aware of its own role in perpetuating systemic racism, the American Nurses Association (ANA) is on a journey of racial reckoning along with many partners inside and outside of nursing and healthcare. In this two-part episode, we hear from leaders in nursing, media, and the life sciences industry about how they are leaning into racial reckoning in their organizations to address and eliminate the harms of racism.   In Part II, Shawna Butler, RN MBA and co-host Lucinda Canty, PhD, CNM, FACNM dig into the role media, journalism, and industry play in addressing and eliminating racially driven health disparities and inequities. Vanessa Broadhurst, Executive Vice President, Global Corporate Affairs of Johnson & Johnson describes Our Race To Health Equity, a bold initiative addressing racial and social injustice as a public health threat; reveals funding and partnerships targeted at diversifying the healthcare and broader workforce, and making certain their internal practices are living up to their diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments. Errin Haines, editor-at-large at the nonprofit newsroom The 19th, describes the importance of media in shaping our awareness, accuracy and understanding of the scope of racism in healthcare and why reporting on the people and areas of progress can reduce racially driven health disparities.

People of all gender and sexual identities need and deserve respectful, affirming healthcare free of barriers, stigma or discrimination. As we celebrate, support, and proudly show our colors during #PrideMonth, we're reconnecting with nurse Dallas Ducar, founder and CEO of Transhealth to discuss the ever-increasing health disparities facing the LGBTQIA+ community, especially with the dramatic rise in laws attacking and limiting access to gender-affirming care. In this updated episode, we hear from this entrepreneur, path maker and healthcare activist about her comprehensive healthcare center that supports and empowers trans and gender-diverse individuals and families; her perspective on the legislative environment and nurses' role in ethics, advocacy, and policy making; and ways to secure a healthy, affirming future for all of us.

Around the world, people of all ages and communities report increasing rates of mental and behavioral health illnesses. For those experiencing chronic homelessness, those mental illnesses are often compounded by chronic medical conditions and substance use disorders. Without safe, permanent housing and access to primary care, those experiencing homelessness – and often hopelessness – miss needed care, wind up in emergency departments and jails, and never receive the social services that may be available to them. In this episode, we learn from nurse Ashley Sharma, RN and physician Tim Mercer, MD, MPH, of the Mobile Medical and Mental Health (M3) Team in Austin, Texas about their high-touch approach to caring for people facing the triple threat of chronic homelessness, medical and mental health conditions, and how – in the face of clinicians wearing down from navigating fragmented health systems and departing the workforce – this collaborative, integrated care approach strengthens a sense of purpose and impact for clinicians.

A common stereotype of aging is an era of decline and shrinking horizons, but the process of aging is far more nuanced. Many find their health and functional trajectories actually widen as they get older. In fact some, like President Joe Biden or pioneering nurse-midwife Ruth Lubic, won't make their greatest contributions until their later years. Key to staying healthy as we age is maintaining or improving health, which largely falls outside of healthcare facilities. Led by Sarah L. Szanton, PhD, ANP, FAAN, the CAPABLE (Community Aging in Place—Advancing Better Living for Elders) program brings together a nurse, an occupational therapist and a handy worker to address the home environment, while encouraging the strengths of older adults to improve safety, independence, and dignity based on the client's goals. By installing small, cost effective adaptations to the home environment, older adults can ease the navigation of daily living – bathing, dressing, standing to cook, using stairs – sustaining their physical, mental, and emotional energy and leading to richer lives full of creativity and meaningful contribution.

International Nurses Day is an important opportunity to check the pulse of nurses around the world, especially in 2023. Nurses have given their all in the response to pandemics, natural disasters, in war zones, global vaccination efforts, and in completely redesigning how and where care is delivered. The value of nurses has never been more clear. Nor could it be any clearer that not enough is being done to protect nurses and other health workers, as demonstrated by the alarming rise of verbal and physical abuse against health care workers, with nursing often the primary target.    COVID-19 has altered many nurses' career plans – over the past few years, McKinsey & Company has found that worldwide, nurses consistently, and increasingly, report planning to leave the workforce at higher rates compared with the past decade. Those departures have profound implications for the health of citizens and systems everywhere. Indeed, the greatest threat to global health is the workforce shortage.    As part of our Meeting of Minds series, we listen in as four McKinsey partners from their Healthcare Systems & Services practice discuss the results of a McKinsey & Company survey of frontline nurses across six countries including Brazil, France, Japan, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In this conversation we hear Gretchen Berlin, RN, Thomas London, MBA, Robin Roark, MD, MBA, and Senthu Arumugam, MBA explore the survey's findings of why nurses are considering leaving their roles, what energizes them to keep going,  and how nurses around the world are eager to innovate and deliver care in different and better ways to solve what has become a consequential global problem.

According to the United Nations, climate change is the single biggest health threat facing humanity. We see it every day in headlines, research, and outside of our windows. As public health leaders and climate first responders, nurses are often the first to witness the impact of climate change on people's health and livelihoods, as well as its disruption to the ability of our healthcare systems to respond.  While the situation is dire and the stakes are existential, there are solutions that healthcare as a sector and a workforce can embrace to reduce the harmful and inequitable impact of carbon emissions. In this episode, we learn from public health nurse Kasey Bellegarde, MPH, RN and physician Jonathan Perlin, MD, PhD, president and CEO of The Joint Commission and former president of HCA Healthcare, how clinicians are inspiring an “all-hands-on-deck decarbonizing movement” and why committing to the Health Sector Climate Pledge is critical in lowering the health sector's carbon footprint while also building a brighter, greener, and more equitable future for generations to come. 

What if nursing's professional origin story represented the contribution and stories of all nurses? Like many origin stories, nursing's has overlooked, omitted or forgotten the contributions of many, but particularly nurses of color who have shaped the nursing profession and society in significant and enduring ways. How might having an inclusive, expansive history and nursing narrative impact the diversity, cohesion, safety, and performance of our health care teams and systems and in achieving our health equity goals? What if names like Mary Seacole, Hazel Johnson Brown, and Eddie Bernice Johnson were as familiar to reference as nursing icons, innovators, and game changers as Florence Nightingale? In celebration of International Women's Day, and Women's History Month, enjoy this episode, where we meet nurse innovators Ravenne Aponte, BA, BSN and Joanna Seltzer Uribe, RN, MSN, EdD (c) and their quest to introduce you to, in fun and sticky ways, NursesYouShouldKnow – and more importantly – WHY we should know them.
