  “One powerful, overlooked aspect of colorectal cancer survivorship is the emotional and identity transformation that our survivors undergo—and really how little space is given in the clinical arena for that. No one really talks about this ‘invisible recovery.' Facing mortality can lead to prolonged changes is values, relationships, and life goals. And these experiences aren't captured in lab results or imaging scans, but they really shape how survivors live, love, and heal and continue with their lives,” ONS member Kris Mathey, DNP, APRN-CNP, AOCNP®, gastrointestinal medical oncology nurse practitioner at The James Cancer Hospital of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about colorectal cancer survivorship.

Highlights From This Episode “As of the most recent data, more than 1.5 million people in the United States are living as colorectal cancer survivors. So this includes not only those who are currently undergoing active cancer treatment but also those who have completed treatment and ultimately are hopefully in remission. Just a reminder that colon cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States and it's the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths.” TS 1:53 “Our colorectal cancer survivors may have significant barriers when receiving this comprehensive survivorship care, and these challenges can affect not only their physical recovery but their emotional well-being and, ultimately, their long-term health outcomes. We as oncology nurses do play a pivotal role in identifying and addressing these barriers. So these can include fragmented care. Who's caring for these patients? That care coordination between the oncologist and the oncology team and then the primary care providers and team. Limited access—so our patients that may have geographic limited access or also financial- or insurance-related obstacles to follow-up services.” TS 9:10 “Our nurses can also facilitate the communication between specialists and primary care providers, so making sure that we're sending records, keeping those lines of communications open. Also, nurses can provide that psychosocial support, so our screening for distress and also advocating and supporting for referral to counseling or support groups for a patient. Nurses can also act as navigators to guide these patients through complex care systems.” TS 11:21 “Some of the recommended changes—nutrition—enhancing and emphasizing fruits, vegetables, that colorful plate, with whole grains. Limit those red and processed meats, and reduce sugary drinks and alcohol. I know we will all have those patients who have read things or cancer myths about, ‘Oh, cancer feeds on sugar, so I shouldn't drink anything or eat anything with sugar,' and maybe addressing that, just really emphasizing the well-rounded meals.” TS 19:57 “When we think about [ourselves], ‘Well, I don't have an implicit bias,' but we may not think about what that is. Some common preconceived assumptions are that survivorship equals a cure. And this assumption may overlook that chronic symptoms or those late effects and emotional needs of long-term survivors. So knowing that when a patient is coming to us on surveillance, they may be cured; they may not have active cancer, but they're still dealing with some of those chronic symptoms—and acknowledging that.” TS 30:37 “There's an assumption that an ostomy equals poor quality of life, and this may stigmatize patients and discourage open conversations about adaptation and support. A couple weeks ago, I volunteered at the Pan Ohio Hope Ride, which is with the American Cancer Society, and several states have a ride that's similar. And there was a patient riding, and I could tell over his jersey that he had an ostomy bag underneath that. And I just looked at him and I thought, ‘That's amazing. You are still functioning, still living, still riding a bike throughout the entire state of Ohio with an ostomy.' So he's still having that good quality of life. That doesn't stop him from living.” TS 31:39

At ESC 2025, a pair of presentations highlighted the ongoing debate over cardiovascular risk reduction with semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound), yielding conflicting signals that clinicians will need to interpret carefully. In this special edition episode, cohosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and codirector of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, explore these studies: SURMOUNT-5 and STEER. A post hoc analysis of SURMOUNT-5 compared the 10-year predicted CV risk reduction between the 2 agents. Using the Framingham Risk Calculator in 751 patients with obesity, tirzepatide was associated with greater benefit than semaglutide. From baseline risks of ~9%, tirzepatide was projected to lower absolute 10-year CV risk by 2.4% (23% relative reduction) compared with 1.4% (13% relative reduction) for semaglutide. Investigators attributed the advantage largely to greater weight and glycemic reductions. In contrast, the STEER study, a real-world analysis of more than 21,000 patients with a mean follow-up of 8.5 months, suggested semaglutide was associated with lower rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) than tirzepatide. Semaglutide users had a 29% risk reduction in nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, or CV death compared with tirzepatide. Limitations included short follow-up, relatively few CV events, and the inherent confounding of observational data. Both Isaacs and Bellini emphasized that while weight and glycemic improvements with tirzepatide appear robust, CV benefits may be molecule-specific. The ongoing SURPASS-CVOT, comparing tirzepatide with dulaglutide, should provide more clarity when full data are released at EASD. In the interim, the hosts advised prescribing based on labeled indications supported by randomized outcomes data—semaglutide for CV and kidney risk reduction, tirzepatide for obesity and sleep apnea—while awaiting definitive trial results. Relevant disclosures for Isaacs include Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Medtronic, and others. Relevant disclosures for Bellini include Abbott Diabetes Care, MannKind, Provention Bio, and others. References: Mamas M.

In this episode of Caring Greatly, Amanda Choflet, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, Dean of Nursing at Northeastern University, shares the path that led her to studying mental health, substance use and suicide risk among clinicians. Dr. Choflet's research underscores the importance of creating access to mental health care and substance use resources that center around human-centered care and wellbeing rather than starting from a punitive or disciplinary stance. Because actions speak louder than words, Dr. Choflet shares evidence-based interventions that healthcare leaders can use to create work environments where clinicians feel safe and supported.

In this conversation, Brigitte Sager, DNP discusses the essential mindset shifts that nurse entrepreneurs need to embrace in order to successfully charge for their services and establish their practices. She emphasizes the importance of valuing one's time, setting boundaries, and avoiding the pitfalls of offering free advice. The discussion also covers the significance of discovery calls and how they should not be treated as free consultations. Ultimately, Brigitte encourages nurses to recognize their expertise and charge accordingly, as this not only benefits them but also the nursing profession as a whole.   Want to dive deeper?

Many faculty teaching in DNP programs lack preparation for guiding DNP student scholarship. A large multicampus college of nursing invested in an interdisciplinary DNP faculty development retreat to increase faculty scholarship and strengthen their ability to mentor DNP student projects. Positive outcomes of the retreat included participants' improved confidence in implementing evidence-based practice quality improvement (EBPQI) methods and an increase in DNP student and faculty publications. In this podcast and article, Drs. Jayne Dunlap and Julee Waldrop describe the retreat and include resources for readers to use in their own programs. They also explain the Mountain Model for EBPQI, which presents a new evidence-searching question as an alternative to the PICO. Their article is open access. Share their article widely with faculty teaching in your DNP program, with your students, and with other educators and clinicians.

Burned out, on medications, and hearing whispers of misalignment she couldn't ignore, she chose courage over comfort. Now, she helps healthcare leaders reclaim 4–8 hours of protected time each week so they can refocus on what truly matters: their people and their patients.

Welcome to Episode 50 of the HPNA Palliative Perspective podcast—a meaningful milestone, and one that gave us pause to reflect on the incredible leaders who've shaped the hospice and palliative care space. In early conversations about this episode, we considered dedicating it to Betty Ferrell, a visionary in the field and the longtime Editor-in-Chief of JHPN, the Journal of Hospice and Palliative Nursing.  But, in true Betty fashion, those close to her reminded us she prefers to stay out of the spotlight. So instead, we're honoring her legacy in a way we think she'd appreciate: by celebrating the educators.  In this episode, we're shining a light on the hospice and palliative nurse educators featured in an upcoming issue of JHPN—innovators who are creating new programs and pushing boundaries in their Schools of Nursing to bring both primary and specialty palliative care to the forefront of nursing education. Their work is not only advancing the field but also shaping the future of compassionate care.  Join Andra Davis, PhD, MN, RN, and Megan Lippe, PhD, MSN, RN, ANEF, FPCN®, FAAN—guest editors of the November issue of JHPN—as they share powerful insights on preparing the next generation of nurses in hospice and palliative care. Educating future nurses requires more than just a solid curriculum—it demands mentorship, creativity, and a deep, ongoing commitment. In this episode, we explore why palliative care is no longer a “nice to have,” but a necessity in nursing education. From shifts in accreditation standards to real-world bedside challenges, Drs. Davis and Lippe discuss the essential role faculty and mentors play in helping students navigate the emotional, clinical, and human complexities of whole person care. We also explore how practicing nurses can be part of this movement—supporting learners and strengthening the future of compassionate care.   Podcast Notes/Links  JPHN Article, releasing in Nov— https://journals.lww.com/jhpn/pages/default.aspx   Betty Ferrell, speaking at HPNA Annual Conference, link  Scope, Standards and Competencies for the Hospice & Palliative RN & APRN, link  The Corner https://www.aacnnursing.org/elnec/elnec-faculty-corner      Megan Lippe, PhD, MSN, RN, ANEF, FPCN®, FAAN Dr. Lippe is Associate Professor with tenure at the University of Texas Health San Antonio and a national leader in palliative nursing education.

While some nurses already serve in elected office, their numbers are far too few, and our communities are missing out. In this SEE YOU NOW Insight from Episode 95: Nursing Is Political, Kimberly Gordon, DNP, CRNA, co-founder of Healing Politics, makes a powerful case for why more nurses should run for public office. Drawing on their holistic training, problem-solving skills, and deep understanding of the social factors that shape health, nurses are uniquely equipped to serve on school boards, city councils, and in state legislatures. Kimberly shares how nurse voices in policy-making could transform decisions on issues like school safety, public health, and community well-being, and why public service should be part of nursing's culture of care.  To listen to this Insight clip's full episode visit SEE YOU NOW Podcast Episode 95: Nursing is Political at APPLE, SPOTIFY, YOUTUBE or at your favorite streaming platform.

Two years after introducing listeners to Healing Politics, with Episode 95: Nursing is Political, Kimberly Gordon, DNP, CRNA, returns along with co-founder Lisa Summers, BSN, MSN, DrPH, with sobering research and renewed urgency about nurses' political participation.   When more nurses are civically engaged, communities are healthier. Why? Because legislative decisions shape everything from healthcare access to public health funding, and nurses' holistic, community-based perspective gives them a unique view into both the problems people face and the solutions needed to address them. Research shows that nurse legislators consistently outperform their peers in crafting evidence-based healthcare policy, achieving bipartisan collaboration, and delivering measurable health outcomes for their constituents (ScienceDirect).  Yet without more nurses in elected office, these critical insights rarely reach the legislative process.  In this episode, Gordon and Summers share how Healing Politics has evolved since launching the first campaign school designed specifically for nurses and midwives. Beyond preparing candidates to run for office, their mission has expanded to strengthen civic engagement through partnerships with VoteER, Fair Vote, and Power to the Polls. Together, this bipartisan duo reflects on the vital distinction between politics and policy, and unveil their new state-based liaison strategy designed to scale their impact and increase nurse representation at every level of government.  Because when nurses step into the halls of power, they don't just change policy, they change lives.

In this first episode of a new series on Love & Friendship in the Spiritual Age, I talk with Dr. Serafina Ankhalla, my dear friend, mystic of relationships, medicine woman, and ceremonial guide who carries beautiful insight and wisdom for the seeker of authentic and lasting relationships. Together we explore the paradox of sacred selfishness , the courage to tend ourselves as holy ground, to honor our needs, boundaries, and inner longings as the very soil from which authentic love can grow. We speak to the art of holding space for the parts of ourselves we tend to turn away from, the wounds, the unmet places still aching for attention. This conversation is an invocation into remembering that our relationships are not simply about giving and receiving, but about awakening. To love one another, we must first learn to love ourselves, especially in a time when loving is a radical act.

Are You Making These Blood Pressure Mistakes?Welcome to the Hypertension Resistant to Treatment Podcast! Initially, our goal was to empower individuals to effectively manage their blood pressure with the help of healthcare professionals. However, our focus has evolved to prioritize supporting healthcare providers, particularly nurse practitioners (NPs), recognizing their crucial role in patient outcomes.  We emphasize the importance of equipping healthcare providers with the necessary tools and knowledge to help patients achieve reasonable blood pressure control. Thank you for joining us on this journey toward improved hypertension management. This podcast offers a mixture of informative and inspirational content.The Hypertension Resistant to Treatment podcast is hosted by Dr. Tonya Breaux-Shropshire, PhD, DNP, MPH, FNP-C.

Cesarean Delivery: Major Abdominal SurgeryWelcome back to The Critical Care Obstetrics Podcast with hosts Suzanne McMurtry Baird (Nursing Director) and Stephanie Martin (Medical Director) of Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics.In this episode, we explore why cesarean delivery is not just another routine procedure—but truly a major abdominal surgery.

For years, anesthesia providers have relied on subjective assessments to evaluate neuromuscular recovery. These methods, while familiar, often fall short in ensuring patient safety. As evidence mounts regarding the risks associated with residual paralysis, the need for more precise and objective monitoring has never been clearer. That's why we're taking a closer look at Quantatative train-of-four (TOF) monitoring with Richie Flowers, CHSE, CRNA, DNP, FAANA and Lisandro Hernandez, DNP, CRNA to learn more about why it's gaining traction in operating rooms nationwide. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

For many years, it was rare to see a new CRNA grad get a 1099 opportunity, but that's been changing over the past decade. This new generation of CRNAs looks at work differently than previous generations and 1099 fits their lifestyle needs much better. So what do you really need to know if you are choosing between traditional W2 employment and the increasingly popular 1099 pathway?

“Colorectal cancer treatment is not just about eliminating a disease. It's about preserving life quality and empowering patients through every phase. So I think nurses are really at the forefront that we can do that in the oncology nursing space. So from early detection to survivorship, the journey is deeply personal. Precision medicine, compassionate care, and informed decision-making are reshaping outcomes. Treatment's just not about protocols. It's about people,” ONS member Kris Mathey, DNP, APRN-CNP, AOCNP®, gastrointestinal medical oncology nurse practitioner at The James Cancer Hospital of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about colorectal cancer treatment.  Music Credit: “Fireflies and Stardust” by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons by Attribution 3.0  Earn 1.0 contact hour of nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) by listening to the full recording and completing an evaluation at courses.ons.org by August 1, 2026. The planners and faculty for this episode have no relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies to disclose.

Highlights From This Episode “Colorectal cancer has several different types, but there is one that dominates the landscape, and that is adenocarcinoma. So I think most of us have heard that. It's fairly common, and it accounts for about 95% of all colorectal cancers. It begins in the glandular cells lining the colon or rectum and often develops from polyps, in particular adenomatous polyps.” TS 1:41 “One of the biomarkers that we'll most commonly hear about is KRAS or NRAS mutations. This indicates tumor genetics, and these mutations suggest resistance to our EGFR inhibitors such as cetuximab. BRAF mutation or V600E is a more aggressive tumor subtype, and those may respond to our BRAF targeted therapy. … And then our MSI-high or MMR-deficient—microsatellite instability or mismatch repair deficiency—that really predicts an immunotherapy response and may indicate Lynch syndrome, which is a huge genetic component that takes a whole other level of counseling and genetic testing with our patients as well.” TS 6:02 “Polypectomy or a local excision—that removes our small tumors or polyps during that colonoscopy. And that's what's used for those stage 0 or early stage I cancers. A colectomy removes part or all of the colon. This may be open or laparoscopic. It can include a hemicolectomy, a segmental resection, or a total colectomy, so where you take out the entire part of the colon. A proctectomy removes part or all of the rectum. This may include a low anterior resection, also known as an LAR … or an abdominal perineal resection, which is an APR. … Colostomy or ileostomy—that diverts the stool to an external bag via stoma. Sometimes this is temporary or permanent depending on the type of surgery.” TS 14:11 “We'll have our patients say, ‘Hey, I want immunotherapy therapy. I see commercials on it that it works so well.' We have to make sure that these patients are good candidates for it, also that we're treating them adequately. We need to make sure that they have those biomarkers, so as I mentioned, the MSI-high or MMR tumors. Our MSS-stable tumors—they may benefit from newer combinations or clinical trials. Metastatic disease—immunotherapy may be used alone or with other treatments. And then in the neoadjuvant setting, some trials are really showing promising results using immunotherapy prior to surgery.” TS 25:38 “Antibody-drug conjugates are really an exciting frontier in all cancer treatments as well as colorectal cancer treatment. This is used mainly for patients with advanced or treatment-resistant disease, and these therapies combine the targeted power of monoclonal antibodies with the cell-killing ability of potent chemotherapy agents. They're still on the horizon for the most part in colorectal cancer. However, there is only one approved antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC, at this time, and that's trastuzumab deruxtecan, or Enhertu. That's approved for any solid tumor, such as colorectal cancer with HER2 IHC 3+. So again, looking back at that pathology in those markers, making sure that you have that HER2 mutation and that IHC.” TS 35:00 “There are a few myths going around about colorectal cancer treatment that can lead to confusion or even delayed care. One myth is only older men get colorectal cancer. As you heard me talk in my previous podcast on screening, unfortunately, this isn't necessarily true. Colorectal cancer affects both men and women and our cases in the younger population are rising. So our screening guidelines have changed to age 45 because we are seeing it in the younger population.” TS 45:54

When seconds matter, preparation saves lives. Today's case study involving a 47-year-old man with severe obesity and obstructive sleep apnea is a great example of that. When a routine EGD resulted in rapid hypoxia shortly after sedation after conventional methods failed, it was the McMurray Enhanced Airway that made all the difference. Sharon shares the experience in this episode and we invited Roxanne McMurray, DNP, CRNA, APRN, FAANA back to the show to talk about how this novel airway tool is changing the game for CRNAs. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

What does it take to optimize for longevity—not just testosterone? In this episode of the TRT & Hormone Optimization channel, Dr. Steven Devos interviews Anna Griffith, DNP, from Victory Men's Health, for a deep dive into hormone optimization through the lens of longevity and performance. They discuss how TRT protocols differ by age, when to layer in additional hormones like DHEA, melatonin, or thyroid support, and why individualized care is essential for results. Anna breaks down how regenerative therapies like wave therapy and PRP can dramatically improve sexual performance, the role of NAC and creatine in optimization, and how GLP-1s can safely pair with TRT when weight loss is a goal. She also explains how Victory's longevity gym concept supports long-term health by integrating resistance training and advanced biohacking strategies. Whether you're in your 30s looking to prevent decline or over 50 and optimizing for energy, performance, and bedroom confidence—this episode offers actionable guidance rooted in clinical experience.
