In this episode, Shena Gazaway joins us in a discussion of her nurse-led research, providing primary palliative care in patients' homes— where this care is urgently needed but often overlooked. We explore how she leads serious illness conversations, manages complex chronic conditions, and builds trust with patients and families to ensure care aligns with their values. From qualitative studies to pilot-tested toolkits that empower patients and caregivers—especially in underserved Black communities—we explore what it truly means to lead with empathy, equity, and evidence. Whether you're a nephrology nurse wondering how to deepen your role or a provider curious about innovative palliative care pathways, this episode offers practical insights, personal stories, and a call for more providers in this vital space. Shena Gazaway PhD, RN, CHPN® Shena Gazaway PhD, RN, CHPN® is currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. As a registered nurse working within the community, her practice experience stimulated her research interest in supporting upstream decision-making of seriously ill patients and families, particularly those who live in built environments that limit access to specialty palliative care services. In addition, her work centers on the belief that individuals living with serious illness are the best navigators of their illness experience, and interventions must incorporate local knowledge, beliefs, and practices for long-term success. Specifically, her research is focused on developing and optimizing community-informed decision-support interventions for individuals living with advanced chronic kidney disease and their caregivers. Shena is currently funded on a K23 from the NIDDK and a pilot grant the Forge AHEAD center, a P50 center grant funded by NIMHD. She and Dr. Wells also serve as co-I's on a pain heart failure intervention funded by the Alex and Rita Hillman Foundation. She is a past recipient of the Palliative Care Research Cooperative Pilot Grant Program and multiple internal funding mechanisms. Above all Shena is a mother, wife, daughter, friend, and sister, and so excited to share the next hour with you all today.

Providing access to consistent, quality care in sparsely populated or hard-to-reach places is no easy feat. It involves addressing issues including infrastructure, workforce, funding, and proximity, not to mention tackling problems from hospital closures to the shrinking provider workforce. In this episode, we're taking a road trip across the vast state of Texas, a state where 83% of its nearly 270,000 square miles of land is made up of farms, ranches, and forests, with over 4 million people living in these rural areas. At the steering wheel is a nurse practitioner and professor Barbara Chapman DNP, MBA, APRN, FNP-C, NHDP, PMHNP-BC who is committed to using and combining every approach possible, including mobile health care, to address access to care issues not only in rural areas, the places where people are hard to reach and often hardly reached, but also driving toward solutions where everyone, regardless of where they live, has access to the quality, timely, whole-person care they need and deserve.

Genetic factors play a critical role in prostate cancer treatment planning, with both germline and somatic mutations guiding therapeutic decisions. The Association of Cancer Care Centers (ACCC) remains committed to improving prostate cancer care and has developed the Metastatic Prostate Cancer Handbook: A Guide to Optimizing Outcomes with Germline and Somatic Testing. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Andrea Murphy, FNP-C, ACGN, CGRA, genetics nurse practitioner at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center and Amy D. Smith, FNP-BC, director at Meredith & Jeannie Ray Cancer Center, about the impact this handbook has had on patient care delivery, measuring success during the pilot program, and recommendations for sustaining germline and somatic mutation testing in clinical practice. “I think a lot of people were surprised, definitely with germline testing, that all metastatic patients met the criteria [for testing]…”– Andrea (Ani) Murphy, FNP-C, ACGN, CGRA “The other thing that the [hand]book did is [give] us a good outline on what our deficiencies were, where we wanted to go with testing...and just pretty much set it up so that it was easy for us to follow.” – Amy D. Smith, NP-BC “Overall, I think the handbook could give anybody the guidance that they need to set up their own program.” – Amy D.

Hypertension & Sex: What You Need to KnowWelcome 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 significance of equipping healthcare providers with the necessary tools and knowledge to successfully guide patients to obtain good 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. Of note, according to the AACN, fewer than 1% of U.S. nurses hold a doctoral degree, with most having a DNP rather than a PhD. This highlights the rarity of both degrees, though DNPs are significantly more common than PhDs.Send us a text Support the showSupport the podcast by subscribing using this link: click here.

In this deeply personal and resonant episode, longtime hospice nurse and podcast host of The Heart of Hospice, Helen Bauer, BSN RN CHPN®, shares an intimate look at the soul of hospice nursing — the part that's rarely documented but always deeply felt. With more than seven years behind the mic and a career alongside patients and families at the bedside, Helen reflects on the intimacy and intensity of hospice care, and the challenges of translating those sacred moments into clinical notes and checkboxes. Together, we explore the personhood-centered mindset that defines exceptional hospice nursing: arriving as a blank slate, open and eager to learn who the patient is, then crafting care that honors the individual's story, values, and needs. Helen speaks candidly about the emotional toll of the work, the cumulative grief nurses carry, and the resilience it takes to keep showing up — not just for patients, but for ourselves. Listeners will hear reflections on: The artistry and difficulty of painting a picture through documentation How hospice nurses excel at education and advocacy, even outside traditional care settings What we're doing well as a community — and where we can grow The value of Hospice Navigation Services and empowering families with information The quiet power of showing up, day after day, with care and presence This episode is a tribute to hospice nurses everywhere — a reminder that your work matters, your presence is powerful, and you are just as important as the care you provide. Whether you're a hospice nurse, a health care professional, or a family member navigating end-of-life care, this episode will speak to the heart of what it means to accompany someone at life's end — with compassion, courage, and creativity.

Send us a textMeet Lia Xiong-Ratley, a Family Nurse Practitioner, women's health advocate, and rescuer of the underdogs, literally.Lia has worn many hats over the years, from pediatric ICU to cardiothoracic surgery, but after becoming a family nurse practitioner, she has found her place at Planned Parenthood.If you think the only services offered through Planned Parenthood are contraception and abortion, you're not alone; Lia and I thought this too. However, the reality is that they provide essential services such as STD testing and treatment, cervical and breast cancer screenings, prenatal care, infertility services, vasectomies, and gender-affirming care, which Lia defines with remarkable clarity (trust me, it's more than you think).So, why did Lia become such a passionate advocate for the underserved? Her own experiences have shaped her. As the daughter of emigrants fleeing political persecution during the Vietnam War, Lia grew up advocating for her family as they rebuilt their lives as Americans. It's no surprise that she roots for the underdogs.And speaking of dogs, Lia runs a successful dog rescue through her Instagram, which initially started as a platform to showcase her travel adventures (you'll hear about those too). The dogs Lia fosters each have distinct personalities, and she has a special gift for bringing that out in them. She'll make you fall in love with each one (I know I have). In the five-minute snippet: Uh, yeah, you'll just have to hear this one for yourself.

In this episode, we explore the profound impact of Kelli Anspach MSN, CV-BC, NPD-BC, CHPN®'s thriving and sustainable training program, which has successfully trained more than 1,000 hospital nurses over the past 10 years through the End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) program, founded by Betty Ferrell PhD, MSN, CHPN®. By providing nurses with the essential skills and knowledge to lead compassionate palliative care conversations, this initiative empowers staff to facilitate critical "goals of care" discussions with patients and families. In this episode, Kelli and Brett discuss how this training not only enhances collaboration with palliative care teams but also drives improved patient satisfaction and better overall care outcomes. Additionally, the conversation takes a closer look at the return on investment (ROI) for hospitals and demonstrates how training nurses across all service lines is a cost-effective strategy to elevate patient care, boost nurse confidence, and foster a more supportive health care environment. With the right education, staff can empower frontline nurses across various serious illness service lines to make a lasting, positive impact on patient care.

There is an increasing awareness of the importance of screening for social drivers of health (SDOH) for patients with cancer. Social drivers like income level and stable housing can impact a patient's access to quality cancer care. To help multidisciplinary teams in oncology care screen for SDOH, ACCC has developed a screening tool to help identify potential SDOH factors that may hinder access to cancer treatment and clinical trial participation. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Richard Martin III, MD, MPH, medical director of Health Equity and Community Engagement at Tennessee Oncology and Dana McDaniel, DNP, FNP-C, AOCNP, director of Oncology and Clinical Research at Mosaic Life Care about their experiences using the screening tool as part of ACCC's pilot program. “Everybody's role with SDOH is different, but really, everyone has a role with SDOH assessment—taking the time to sit down with the patient, ask the questions, listen to them, and then connect them to the appropriate services so that we can tailor their care and ultimately improve quality.” - Dana McDaniel, DNP, FNP-C, AOCNP “Being able to capture data around patients' interest [in clinical trials], their awareness and their barriers, and being able to cross reference those 3 things to better focus strategies around [trial] enrollment…that's just going to be gold as far as information to help you know where to go…and when that patient's ready, to help get them onto a trial.” – Richard Martin III, MD, MPH Richard Martin III, MD, MPH Medical Director, Health Equity and Community Engagement Tennessee Oncology Nashville, Tennessee Dana McDaniel, DNP, FNP-C, AOCNP Director of Oncology and Clinical Research Mosaic Life Care St. Joseph, Missouri Additional Resources: ACCC SDOH Screening Tool (English) (https://bit.ly/4ikNPdb) ACCC SDOH Screening Tool (Spanish) (https://bit.ly/4ixsixA) ACCC SDOH Resource Library (https://bit.ly/4bJtDz6) Improving Equitable Access to Care: Unpacking Medicare's New Documentation, Coding, and Billing Requirements (https://bit.ly/4bKlMRU)

Meggan Mikal DNP, APRN-FPA, PCNS-BC, CPNP-PC, CHPPN®, FPCN®Meggan Mikal-DeMont is the nurse practitioner of Pediatric Advance Care Team - Palliative & Pain at Advocate Children's Hospitals in Oak Lawn, IL.

She also has completed a fellowship in pediatric palliative and hospice nursing through University of Illinois in Chicago and through the Coleman Foundation. This led her to also become a board-certified pediatric hospice and palliative nurse in 2009. Meggan, along with an interdisciplinary committee, started the Pediatric Palliative and Supportive Care program at Advocate Children's Hospital - Oak Lawn in October of 2012. Her background as a pediatric intensive care nurse is where her love and passion for working with children with critical and chronic illness grew. She is an End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) trainer and received that training at St. Jude's Hospital in Memphis, TN. Meggan is an active member of the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA) where she serves on the Advocacy and Legislative Committee. She participated as both an item writer and chair for the pediatric hospice and palliative nurse exam from 2010-2016. Meggan was also recently inducted as a Fellow of Palliative and Hospice Nursing (FPCN®) and is so thrilled to be recognized for her true passion and purpose to this field. Becoming a widow and a solo parent in 2017 after her husband Andrew died from advanced colorectal cancer has only grown her passion for delivering and advocating for nothing short of the best delivery of palliative and hospice care. Meggan is blessed to be given a new chapter and now lives with her husband Nate, eight year old son Andy, bonus seven year old daughter Elizabeth, and two and a half year old rescue dog Zoey, in Plainfield. Within palliative care, Meggan has a strong interest in the areas of patient-provider boundaries, patient and family advocacy, and the delivery of diverse, equitable, and inclusive care. Meggan believes that caring for children with serious illnesses truly starts at the grassroots of relationships. She believes that the family is the center of the care being provided and it is a relationship built on partnership. Helping children live life to their fullest ability without burdensome symptoms is something that she strives to achieve each day.
