Nurses often feel infantilized by the gifts and activities during Nurses Week because many hospitals fail to genuinely appreciate their nursing staff. In this conversation, Nurse Erica and guest discuss the various activities and ways hospitals recognize their nursing staff during Nurses Week. They critique the often inadequate and insulting gifts provided by healthcare institutions, highlighting the disconnect between hospital administration and the need for support for nurses.

In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica Sites and Nurse Erica welcome Dr. Lorre Laws PhD RN, a nursing leader focused on addressing nurse trauma and burnout. They discuss the systemic issues within healthcare that contribute to nurse-specific traumatization, the signs of trauma that nurses often overlook, and the importance of creating supportive environments for healing. Dr. Laws shares her journey into nursing later in life and her mission to provide resources and support for nurses facing trauma. The conversation emphasizes the need for a shift in how the healthcare system addresses nurse well-being and the importance of understanding the physiological responses to trauma. This conversation delves into the multifaceted challenges faced by nurses, including the impact of trauma on their mental health and the generational trauma that perpetuates unhealthy work environments. They also address the issue of workplace violence and the disempowerment of nurses within the healthcare system, while offering practical wellness strategies to help nurses reclaim their professional joy and contentment. They discuss the impact of system-induced trauma on nurses, the importance of education in addressing these issues, and the necessity of setting boundaries in the workplace.   Thank you to Dr. Lorre Laws PhD RN.

In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica discuss a controversial YouTube video by popular YouTuber Papa Meat, which claims that "nurses are trying to kill you". They break down several shocking incidents involving nurses that have made headlines. They also debunk several of the examples which are not actual nurses nor are they "trying to kill you". The hosts emphasize the importance of nursing ethics, integrity, and the impact of social media on the nursing profession. They explore the case of Erin Strotman, a nurse accused of harming infants, a nurse caught in a scandalous affair with a patient, a nurse who hired a hitman, and a fentanyl scandal that led to a patient's death. They also delve into a disturbing case of "nurses" instigating fights among dementia patients. They reflect on the implications of these incidents tarnishing the nursing profession. Nurses are often unfairly judged based on isolated incidents. It is important to distinguishing between different roles in healthcare.    Thank you to our sponsor, Stink Balm Odor Blocker!

What makes Sangiovese a difficult wine to grow and make? Why should you pay attention to the white wines of Tuscany? What do you need to know about Tuscany's Vin Santo? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Susan Keevil You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Two of you are going to win a copy of her terrific book, On Tuscany: From Brunello to Bolgheri, Tales from the Heart of Italy. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights What are some common mistakes people make when comparing Tuscan wines to those from other regions? What are Super Tuscans and how did they come to be? Why did these rebel wines capture the imagination of the world in the 70s and 80s? What's the new Super Tuscan counter culture about? Why did Brunello di Montalcino achieve icon status? What makes Sangiovese difficult to grow and why doesn't it tend to thrive in North America? What motivated Susan to include sections on Tuscan white wines and Vin Santo in the book? How is Vin Santo made and why is there so much variety? What makes Tuscan olive oil so special? How can you best pair Tuscan wines with food? Why would Susan love to be able to share a bottle of wine with Queen Elizabeth II?   Key Takeaways Susan notes that Sangiovese is like Pinot Noir in that it likes certain terroir, particular soils, the winds of Tuscany, and it is quite a sensitive grape. You can't overproduce it. It responds differently to different sites and it's not good in every vintage. It has so many parallels with Pinot Noir. They don't taste the same, but they behave the same. Susan likes an underdog story like the white wines of Tuscany, because they're only like 10% of the wines produced, though she believes that the Trebbiano grape is like the evil twin. In the book, Emily O'Hare writes about grapes like Vernaccia, Vermentino and Ansonica that are producing some great wines so we should watch out for them. There's another lovely story about wines of the small island called Giglio. It was raided by the pirate Barbarossa, and he sent all the inhabitants away to be slaves in Constantinople. But he brought back people from a village in Greece, and they bought the grape called Ansonica with them and so those vines are still on the island today. Susan thinks white wines are going to be more important for Tuscany. If you're going to find a comparison, Susan says that Tokaji is a really good one, because it has that bracing acidity that the Italians love as well. But also, you can't generalize with it. It's a 3,000 year-old-wine, and every farm makes a different version. In the past, they used to collect these grapes because they couldn't handle all the olives and all the grapes all at once. So they would leave some of the grapes in the drying lofts, up in the roofs. They would dry, and concentrate, and the sugars would get sweeter. When everything settled in November or March or February, they would make a wine from these beautiful sweet grapes. And they all have their own natural yeast from the air. And they would seed that yeast into the wine, ferment, and then they would lock it up in its barrel and leave it for seven to eight years. It would shrink, it would ferment. It would stop fermenting. And then at the end of that time, they would open the barrel very carefully, and it was something magnificent, but very, very different. Each producer would have their own.   About Susan Keevil Susan Keevil is the Editorial Director of Académie du Vin Library, where she has played a pivotal role in establishing and nurturing this esteemed wine publishing house. A former editor of Decanter magazine, she has dedicated her career to the world of wine, from editorial leadership to in-depth exploration of the industry.         To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/329.

How was Brunello discovered? How did the medieval sharecropping system help to shape Tuscany's wine landscape? What's the origin of the iconic black rooster symbol of Chianti Classico? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Susan Keevil, editor of the beautiful hardcover On Tuscany: From Brunello to Bolgheri, Tales from the Heart of Italy. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Two of you are going to win a copy of her terrific book, On Tuscany: From Brunello to Bolgheri, Tales from the Heart of Italy. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights What inspired Susan to take on the monumental task of compiling and editing On Tuscany? How is On Tuscany different from other books about the region? What was the most captivating wine story Susan uncovered while working on the book? What was the most surprising insight about Tuscany that Susan discovered while putting together On Tuscany? Why did the timeframe pose the biggest challenge in compiling the book? How did Susan discover and select literary gems about Tuscany from historic writers? Why was it important to Susan to write about the Etruscans? What surprised Susan about the ancient Etruscans' relationship with wine? How did the medieval sharecropping system help to shape Tuscany's wine landscape? What role did the Medici family play in shaping the wine culture in Tuscany? What was the crisis of Chianti Classico in the 70s and 80s and how did it redefine the future of Tuscan wines? What's the origin of the iconic black rooster symbol of Chianti Classico? Why does Tuscany continue to dominate media and culture when it comes to wine? What's the history behind the Chianti fiasco?   Key Takeaways How was Brunello discovered? Susan says that from 1875 to 1930, the Biondi Santi family hid bottles of brunello bricked up behind a wall. So after the war, they had these wonderful vintages, and they could say, look how it's aged because they didn't know it aged so well at that stage. That was how the discovery of Brunello came about because they brought these cellared wines to feasts and grand occasions with politicians and monarchs. How did the medieval sharecropping system help to shape Tuscany's wine landscape? Susan observes that it made it beautiful to start with, because we're talking about small holdings. Small farmers gave 40% of what they produced to the owner, the feudal lord, but they had to eke out a living too. So they had their plot of vines, their plot of olive groves, and they put up their cypress trees to defend them from the winds. That gave the beauty to the countryside, because it makes it a jigsaw, it gives it texture when you look at the hills. That way of farming has set up the beauty of Tuscany that we know today. But of course, there was a lot of poverty that went alongside it. What's the origin of the iconic black rooster symbol of Chianti Classico? Susan explains that it came from the 14th century when Siena and Florence were warring as to who was going to be the most powerful of those two towns. They had an agreement that they would send out a horse rider - a knight - early one morning, and wherever those two knights met, would be the boundary between Florence and Siena. The Florentine horse rider set off really early, and they got to within 12 miles of Siena. So the black cockerel is all about strength and having the biggest area.   About Susan Keevil Susan Keevil is the Editorial Director of Académie du Vin Library, where she has played a pivotal role in establishing and nurturing this esteemed wine publishing house.

Episode Summary In this action-packed and delightfully chaotic episode, the RPGBOT hosts kick things off with a thrilling unboxing moment from Hero Forge, revealing a spectacularly 3D-printed D20 die. Naturally, this leads to a deep dive into the wonders of forced movement in tabletop RPGs. Whether it's pushing, pulling, or just shoving characters into awkward situations, the hosts dissect every angle of this often-overlooked mechanic with their signature blend of humor and expertise. The discussion takes some wild detours, including tragicomic battles with printers, a debate on the best and worst jobs (spoiler: San Diego weathermen have it easy), and a flurry of pop culture references and questionable impressions. But fear not, the conversation steers back on track with an in-depth analysis of how forced movement mechanics have evolved in Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder 2, and Tales of the Valiant. From grappling tactics to spell-versus-martial balance, the crew explores the intricate dance of battlefield control and the ever-present struggle between player creativity and game mechanics. Ultimately, the hosts leave no stone unturned, questioning the effectiveness of push mechanics, analyzing historical shifts from 2014 to 2024, and debating the fine art of battlefield manipulation. Along the way, they uncover the power of tactical play, uncover absurd yet effective spell interactions, and ensure that no D&D rulebook remains unscathed in their quest for ultimate RPG enlightenment. Key Takeaways Disney Whispers: Technically not forced movement, but we won't tell if you don't. What Counts as Forced Movement? If something is physically moving you against your will, it's probably forced. Bull Rush: The football tackle of RPG mechanics. Dungeon Crasher: The best way to turn your Fighter into a wrecking ball. The Meta of Pushing: If pushing mechanics don't become meta, what are we even doing here? Push 'Em Away! Keep enemies out of melee range with strategic shoving. Every Class Has a Move: If you look closely, every class has at least one forced movement option. Battlefield Control = Power: If you can control positioning, you control the fight. 2014 vs. 2024 Meta: Not much has changed, but we're still talking about it. AOE Spells Still Reign Supreme: Sometimes, the best way to move enemies is to make them disappear. Martials vs. Casters: Who controls the battlefield better? Let the debates rage on. Tales of the Valiant's Shove Mechanics: Adds some risk-reward spice to the push game. Pull Weapons in Tales of the Valiant: Because yanking enemies into danger is just as fun as pushing them away. Pathfinder 2 Loves Forced Movement: More mechanics, more options, more fun. Grappling in Pathfinder 2: It's a full-time job, requiring constant upkeep. Pathfinder 2's Organization Woes: Finding the right rule shouldn't be harder than fighting a dragon. Hero Points to the Rescue: Because failing a flat check is the worst. Bonus Fun Mechanics Hydraulic Push: It's a spell, it's water-powered, and it's a force movement MVP. Decanter of Endless Water Shenanigans: Turns out, infinite water is useful in a lot of unexpected ways. Grapple Like a Pro: Knowing how to grapple effectively can change the course of a fight. Weapon Traits Matter: Sometimes, the right weapon makes all the difference. Multiclassing = Brain Hurts: Every choice has trade-offs, so choose wisely. Ritual Casting for the Win: Sometimes, taking a few extra minutes pays off. Creative Combat Scenarios: Thinking outside the box leads to legendary moments. Know the Rules, Avoid the Frustration: Nothing ruins a session like rule confusion. Optimal Class Dips: The right multiclass decision can unlock powerful combos. Wizards Stay Winning: Utility and ritual casting make them indispensable. Final Thoughts From printer woes to battlefield strategy, this episode was a whirlwind of insights, laughs, and deep dives into RPG mechanics. Whether you're a die-hard rules lawyer or just here for the comedic side quests, there's something for everyone. Tune in, roll your dice, and remember—sometimes the best move is just shoving someone off a cliff.

In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Erica and Nurse Jessica welcome Kelli Johnson, an RN and advocate for healthcare reform. The conversation delves into Kelli's journey as a nurse, her experiences with staffing issues, and her involvement in legislative efforts to improve patient safety. They discuss the lack of accountability in healthcare administrators who are not currently required to hold any licensure. Accountability should extend to all levels of hospital management. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the challenges and implications of healthcare staffing laws, particularly focusing on the newly introduced HB 1567, which aims to hold hospital administrators accountable for their decisions impacting patient care. The conversation touches on the legislative process and defining who should be required to have a license in hospital administration. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accountability in healthcare and the need for systemic changes to ensure patient safety.   Thank you to our Problem of the Week sponsor, Stink Balm Odor Blocker!

Recorded live from the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center strike line on 1/25/25, strike day 16. Special thanks to the Oregon Nurses Association.  On January 10, 2025, nearly 5,000 healthcare professionals began an open-ended strike, calling on Providence Health & Services to put their patients before profits by offering a fair contract to frontline caregivers. The strike includes doctors, nurses, advanced practice providers, and midwives from eight Providence Oregon hospitals and six clinics.  At issue: Providence's alleged unfair labor practices, dangerously understaffed hospitals, the ability to spend more time with patients, employee healthcare, and competitive wages and benefits to be able to recruit and retain more caregivers. In this special episode, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica interview three of the registered nurses, an internal medicine physician, and a certified nurse midwife. The conversation includes concerns regarding hospital administration's disconnect from patient care and the impact of management decisions on provider retention. The discussion delves into the financial dynamics of the organization, the importance of fair compensation, and the need for genuine negotiations to ensure safe patient care. They discuss issues such as high turnover rates, safety concerns related to staffing ratios, the impact of insurance changes, while criticizing Providence Health's tactics and corporate greed. The conversation underscores their determination to hold the line until their demands are met. Thank you to our sponsor, Stink Balm Odor Blocker!

Brooke Delmas Robertson is one of our favorite people, and for good reason. Her Delmas SJR Vineyard Syrah was just named #10 on Jeb Dunnuck's Top 100 Wines of 2024, and shortly after, her Viognier earned a spot in Decanter's Top 50. Her family has been raising the bar in the Rocks District of Walla Walla for years, producing only about 1000 cases annually—flying under the radar, but with outstanding quality. Brooke's commitment to sustainability and family legacy shines through in her approach: “We want our vines to outlive us and be sustainable and strong for generations to come. That expectation requires daily oversight and a commitment to sustainability and healthy plants,” she says. “The driving vision to create a small, family-estate operation has been a family dream since my brother and I were kids. My work on behalf of the estate will continue to be a tribute to my late brother, whom the vineyard is named after. To life!” In addition to her winemaking, Brooke serves on the Board of Directors of the Oregon Winegrower Association, representing Eastern Oregon. She's a Level One Mentor with Bâtonnage (Women in Wine) and founded the Vineyard Technical Group for the Walla Walla Valley, partnering with Oregon State University and the Rocks District Winegrowers to provide ongoing education for wine growers in the region. We highly recommend getting your hands on these wines, especially the Viognier and SJR Vineyard Syrah. Better yet, plan a trip to Walla Walla, Washington, and see firsthand the incredible work being done there. [Ep350] www.delmaswines.com @delmas_sjrvineyard

How has Rioja's famous architecture impacted tourism and the international perception of Rioja wines? How does Rioja wine style change in a vintage characterized as an Atlantic year versus a Mediterranean year? How did oak aging become so fundamental to the identity of Rioja wines? What's driving the resurgence of traditional aging methods, such as concrete tanks? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Adam Lechmere, editor of The Smart Traveler's Wine Guide to Rioja, among other books in this series. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Two of you will win a copy of his terrific new book, Rioja: The Smart Traveller's Wine Guide. To qualify, email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know you've posted a podcast review. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights Where did the Rioja focus on oak aging develop? How do the characteristics imparted by American versus French oak differ? What do you need to know about the classifications and label regulations for Rioja wine? What's driving the resurgence of older aging methods, such as concrete tanks? How can you differentiate between French Grenache and Spanish Garnacha? What are some of the key distinguishing characteristics between Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon? What makes a great vintage in Rioja? How has Rioja's famous architecture impacted tourism and the international perception of Rioja wines? Which changes does Adam see coming in Rioja's future?   Key Takeaways Rioja wines are categorized according to the time they spend aging in oak barrels. American oak is particularly well suited for the country's flagship red grape, Tempranillo, because it has a slightly wider grain than French oak, so it imparts more flavors. The resurgence of traditional aging methods, such as concrete tanks, has been driven by changing global trends in wine styles. It's also that Rioja winemakers are forward-looking in their experimentation because they're such pioneers. You'll find more opulence and generosity in a Mediterranean year, whereas Atlantic-influenced years are more precise and slightly less opulent. Rioja's architecture has been so famous for so long that it's hard to know whether tourists visit primarily because of the architecture or the wine.   About Adam Lechmere Adam Lechmere is the publishing director of Academie du Vin Library, contributing editor to Club Oenologique, and general manager of the Academie du Vin Foundation, a charity dedicated to improving diversity in wine and hospitality worldwide.

In this episode guest Julia Godby-Murray returns to share her experience and involvement with nursing union organizing. The conversation explores the importance of unions in advocating for nurses' rights and improving working conditions. It emphasizes the need for nurses to actively support legislation and join unions to bring about change. The conversation also highlights success stories of nurses standing up for their rights and the significance of having a seat at the table in decision-making processes. Fear of retaliation from management should not deter nurses from joining unions. In the final part of the conversation, the nurses discuss the importance of attending union meetings, negotiating contracts, and standing up for oneself in the workplace. Change isn't going to happen unless we do it!   Thank you to our Enema Award Sponsor, Happy Bum Co.

What makes the Rioja region of Spain a must-visit destination for wine lovers? What are the best food pairings for Rioja wines? What's the sticky history behind the Battle of Wine festival in La Rioja? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Adam Lechmere, editor of The Smart Traveler's Wine Guide to Rioja, among other books in this series. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Two of you will win a copy of the terrific new book, The Smart Traveller's Wine Guide to Rioja, written by Fintan Kerr and edited by our guest Adam Lechemere. To qualify, email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know you've posted a podcast review. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights What was it like to interview the famous movie director and winery owner Francis Ford Coppola? Are there parallels between the worlds of wine and film? Why did documentary filmmaker Jonathan Nossiter walk out of his interview with Adam? Why was Adam banned twice from Château Latour? What surprising insight did Adam learn while editing The Smart Traveller's Wine Guide to Rioja? How is The Smart Traveler's Wine Guide written especially for wine-interested tourists? What's the biggest misconception people have about Rioja and its wines? Where is Rioja geographically located? What are some of the culinary traditions you can enjoy in Logroño, the capital of La Rioja? Which Rioja and tapas pairings should you try? What's the history behind the Battle of Wine and El Barrio de la Estación de Haro?   Key Takeaways What they do so brilliantly in Rioja is combine traditional winemaking and outstanding wines with ultra-modern, avant-garde buildings often next door to ancient, gorgeous medieval churches. Lamb and Rioja is a brilliant combination, according to Adam and I agree. The rule of thumb for any wine region is to pair it with the food that's made in the region. What grows together, goes together. When you have lots of anything that is also your livelihood, you celebrate it. The Battle of Wine festival is a series of processions that begins about a week before on the 23rd of June, and it culminates with everybody going up onto the hill to what they call the temple. Like a lot of these festivals, it goes back into the mists of time and people don't know exactly how it started.   About Adam Lechmere Adam Lechmere is the publishing director of Academie du Vin Library, contributing editor to Club Oenologique, and general manager of the Academie du Vin Foundation, a charity dedicated to improving diversity in wine and hospitality worldwide.
