In this unlikely body snatchers/sci-fi mashup, Rhea Seehorn plays a woman intent on saving the world from… eternal happiness? What exactly it needs saving from—or if it needs saving at all—is fodder for much discourse.

Finally, they take a look at a recent piece in The Ankler by Richard Rushfield crunching the numbers to reveal that, since #MeToo, troublingly few major films have been directed by women.

Jean Ross began studying with Shunryu Suzuki very soon after he arrived in San Francisco. In this podcast, the second of two on her, I read more from her accounts in the Wind Bell publication of the SFZC about her experience studying Zen in Japan in the early sixties - and more. The podcast concludes with a piece I wrote about her for the Wind Bell in 1997.

Description: Mainstream media has a lot to account for in 2024, but go back 90 years, and prestigious publications have often failed to see when things were so clearly wrong. In 1930s Germany, many journalists downplayed Adolf Hitler's ascension to power, with the New York Times writing “There is no warrant for immediate alarm…The more violent parts of his alleged program he has himself in recent months been softening down or abandoning.” But one young British journalist who, seeing what was happening, quit his job with The London Times and founded The Week, a newsletter that became famous for its opposition to fascism and the Western powers that were enabling it. His name was Claud Cockburn, and he's the subject of a newly-released biography by his son, Patrick Cockburn, “Believe Nothing Until It Is Officially Denied: Claud Cockburn and the Invention of Guerrilla Journalism,” out now via Verso Books. Patrick is an award-winning journalist himself, with a long expertise in the Middle East. And Patrick is Laura Flanders' uncle; Claud is her grandfather. How did mainstream media miss what Claud knew about the rise of Nazis, and how did his guerilla journalism make an impact? And why is Claud's story so relevant now? All that, plus a commentary from Laura.

On episode 481 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Jean Ross, MHA, BSN, RN, the co-founder of Primary Record, a nurse-designed app that helps families organize and collaboratively share their family's health information across multiple platforms and electronic medical record systems. It's a medical record jungle out there, and Primary Record is Ms. Ross's answer to the growing confusion. In the course of their conversation, Keith and Jean discuss the trends in healthcare that have led to us navigating the multitude of online patient portals and repositories of information that can make caring for ourselves and our loved ones a complicated and frustrating task. Ms. Ross also elucidates facts about the little-known 21st Century Cures Act, a law that stipulates that all healthcare consumers have a legal right to be able to view and download their online medical records. In fact, organizations that fail to provide such access can face enormous fines. As a nurse, Jean Ross knows that providing better care starts with knowing the full story of patients. Her passion centers on supporting the family around complex patients who are instrumental in carrying out the plan of care in the home. She co-founded Primary Record after 12 years of critical care nursing and running a care coordination company, where she saw first hand the problems families and community businesses face when their health information does not follow them. Jean serves as the chairwoman of Community Heath Network's Indy Region Patient and Family Advisory Council, a volunteer on Indiana's AARP legislative team, and a Dementia Champion with Dementia Friends Indiana. Jean is the eldest daughter of two aging parents, a mother of three sons, Jonas, Ian, and Otis, and the proud wife of Dr. Christian Ross.

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.

Jean Ross, a president of National Nurses United, joined The America's Work Force Union Podcast. Ross discussed the need for nurses to obtain equipment and staff that they were denied, but needed to take care of patients. She also urged nurses countrywide to join the union so that they can have these benefits and not be threatened with losing their jobs for not being able to meet quotas because they are missing necessities to work. Greg Regan of the Transportation Trades Department of the AFL-CIO appeared on America's Work Force Union Podcast and discussed a contract for rail worker sick days that missed the mark. Regan further mentioned that the railroad industry has laid off a third of its workforce which has caused a lack of safety and time off.. The workers are being paid better, but not getting time off.
Nurses in Minnesota organized the largest strike of private sector nurses in U.S. history this past week, with 15,000 nurses walking off the job for three days. And while the pandemic pushed many nurses to the brink, some say the burnout was years in the making. Kelley Honest, a nurse from the Minnesota strike, and Jean Ross, president of National Nurses United, join Geoff Bennett to discuss.

Jean Ross (1911-1973) inspired the character Sally Bowles, the cabaret singer in Christopher Isherwood's novel, Goodbye to Berlin, as well as the musical adaptation, Cabaret. Where fictional Sally was untroubled and naive, her real-life counterpart was driven, politically-engaged, and curious. This month, we're talking about muses–women who were drivers of creativity and inspiration. Once again, we're proud to partner with Mercedes-Benz (whose famous namesake was inspired by a young muse named Mercedes). Tune in daily for stories of women whose lives inspired work that has shaped our culture.History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason.
