You won't have to worry about any of that with wonderful sponsor Quince. Quince is a company that gets you luxury goods without the high prices. We're talking about clothing and accessories and other items that are well-made, high quality and stylish. Good stuff that'll last you for years to come. They're able to keep their prices low because they cut out the middleman, making their items cost fifty to eighty percent less than those of their competitors. Seriously. Luxury items for half the price. I went shopping on Quince recently. I got their 100% European Linen Button Front Dress in blue Chambray Stripe. I love it so much. It's lightweight and so comfortable, and I really like the way I look in it. It's the kind of dress I know I'm going to be wearing all summer — I think it looks cute and it's also just super comfortable. You should check out their site and get something too.

A viral video from a popular “human nurse” influencer asking if veterinary technicians are “nurses” recently sparked a social media firestorm, but the outrage may be missing the real issue. In this episode of The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, go beyond the headlines to explore what's truly at stake in the “vet nurse” debate: professional identity, title protection, and the public's understanding of veterinary medical roles. While thousands weighed in online, some supporting the comparison, others fiercely rejecting it, Ward and Mossor ask whether these internet debates are distracting from the bigger, systemic problem: the lack of legally protected titles for credentialed veterinary technicians in many U.S. states. They explore the emotional responses from both veterinary and human healthcare communities, examine the practical implications of inconsistent terminology, and call for stronger advocacy, unity, and legislative engagement. This episode challenges listeners to move past online outrage and toward meaningful real-world change. If you've ever wondered why words like “veterinary technician,” “nurse,” and “assistant” matter so much, or what we can do to protect and elevate our profession, this conversation is a must-listen. As Beckie suggests, skip watching this nurse influencer's videos and join NAVTA and contact your state veterinary medical Board to demand title protection for credentialed veterinary technicians. #VetTechLife #VeterinaryTechnician #VeterinaryMedicine #VetMed #VetTechProblems #VetTechPride #VetNurse #TitleProtection #CredentialedNotConfused #SupportVetTechs #ProtectTheTitle #VetTechAdvocate
In this episode, Nurse Erica interviews Amy Loughren, "The Good Nurse", a nurse who played a crucial role in exposing Charles Cullen, a serial killer who murdered patients during his nursing career. Amy shares her experiences working alongside Cullen, the moral dilemmas she faced, and the undercover work she conducted to help bring him to justice. The guilt of not recognizing Cullen's behavior haunted Amy for years. The conversation delves into hospitals repeatedly failing to act on suspicions about Cullen, allowing further harm. The episode discusses the impact of the investigation on her life, her struggles with guilt, and her eventual spiritual awakening which led to her to explore alternative healing practices. Amy also discusses the importance of mental health in healthcare and hospital accountability in such cases. #truecrime #nursing #healthcare #podcast Sponsors: Thank you to our sponsor, Stink Balm Odor Blocker!

Send us a textPhilip Layog is known as the "Work From Home RN" on Instagram, where he helps fellow nurses transition from hospital roles to remote positions. But first, he had to help himself. Philip started his nursing career in Med-Surg, moved to CVICU, then PACU, but once he started his family, he decided to explore remote nursing opportunities. With a decade of experience, he eventually landed his first remote job. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Philip now enjoys the freedom that many nurses are seeking. He appreciates leisurely mornings with his children before daycare, takes time to work out during his lunch hour, and is fully engaged with his family because he is no longer physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. I wanted all the deets: What kind of nursing experience do I need? What type of training will I get? And what about the pay? Philip answered all of these expertly and revealed a little-known fact about the application process which blew…my…mind.After speaking with numerous nurses, I've come to realize that when nurses improve their own lives, they feel compelled to share that knowledge with others, and Philip is no exception. He co-founded nurseremotely.com, a specialized job board dedicated to connecting nurses with legitimate work-from-home opportunities. He provides nurses with what they truly want: options.In the five-minute snippet: Hmmmm, giant alligators or Disney? It's a toss-up.

In this episode of The Pulling Curls Podcast, Hilary welcomes certified nurse midwife Juli Pyle to dive into the topic of informed consent in labor and delivery. Together, they break down what informed consent really means, the key components every patient should know, and how it plays out during childbirth. Juli and Hilary share personal stories from both sides—provider and patient—highlighting why these conversations matter and how they can empower you to make the best choices for your birth experience. Whether you're planning your first delivery or looking to better understand your options, this episode provides practical tips for having more effective, respectful discussions with your care team. Big thanks to our sponsor The Online Prenatal Class for Couples -- if you want to learn to communicate better, it is the class for you! Today's guest is Today's guest is Juli Pyle (she/her) a certified nurse midwife who practices at a community hospital in rural Pennsylvania. Juli was a stay at mom for many years to five children before deciding to return to school to pursue a degree in nursing. She graduated from Colorado Mesa University with a bachelors of science in nursing degree in 2016 and then began her nursing career as a labor and delivery nurse. She quickly discovered that this was her true passion (as she had suspected since having her own children) and quickly gained a reputation for professionalism, compassion and expertise among colleagues and patients. She then returned to Frontier Nursing University to complete a Master's degree in Nursing with an emphasis in midwifery. In 2020, she graduated and began as a certified nurse-midwife at a small community hospital in central Pennsylvania where she has been since that time. Her focus as a CNM is to provide evidence-based education to all birthing families, give true autonomy and informed consent throughout their time with her and to share love, understanding, empathy and true shared-decision making. When not immersed in the birthing world, she enjoys spending time refinishing furniture, gardening, raising and breeding different types of chickens, hiking and vacationing with her family.

There are five main components of informed consent: patient understanding, absence of coercion, full disclosure of risks/benefits/alternatives, the right to decline, and documentation of the discussion. Time pressure, provider biases, and regional/cultural differences often affect how effectively informed consent is communicated in hospitals. Patients are encouraged to ask, at any point, for the risks, benefits, and alternatives to a procedure—it's their right, even for routine interventions. Some medical staff may overwhelm patients with information, while others may inadvertently minimize discussion; finding the right balance to suit each patient is key. Regional culture, age, language, and personal preference play huge roles in how much information patients want or are comfortable with during labor and delivery. Informed consent isn't just for major decisions like C-sections or epidurals—it can and should apply to things like cervical exams and labor positions, even in less formal, conversational ways. Declining a recommended intervention (e.g., breaking water, episiotomy, induction) is absolutely an option for patients, and the birth experience should support their decision, barring emergency situations. The benefits of midwifery care are highlighted, including a more holistic and consistent approach to informed consent and labor support, but ultimately provider style matters more than title. Good communication and shared decision-making between providers and patients help prevent birth trauma and litigation, reinforcing the importance of patients feeling informed and respected during their birth experience.

I 1978 tháinig sé amach gur chaith daoine sa tír níos mó ná 520 milliún punt ar alcól agus tobac I rith 1976 agus d'ardaigh sé nach mór 87 milliún punt ón bhliain roimhe. I 2000 ní raibh an rialtas ag sheachaint beart níos mó chun na tithe a dhéanamh níos inacmhainne mura n-oibríonn an phacáiste nua. I 1989 bhí daoine ag súil leis an vótáil chun a bheith cóngarach chuig 75%. I 2000 labhair na h-altraí san ospidéal in Inis amach I gcoinne na plean chun aon síciatrach ardslándála a thógáil I Spanish Point. Sin John Travolta agus Olivia Newton John le You're The One That I Want – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1978 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1972 tháinig David Bowie amach lena 5ú halbam The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars – an coincheap den albam ná chun scéal a rá d'eachtrán darbh ainm Ziggy Stardust. Chuaigh an t-albam chuig uimhir a 5 sa Bhreatain agus uimhir 75 I Meiriceá agus tháinig sé amach go raibh sé an t-albam ab fhearr riamh. I 2002 46 bhliain tar éis a chéad amhrán, chuaigh Elvis Presley chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena amhrán Little Less Conversation. Tar éis é sin bhí 18 uimhir a haon aige. Agus chomh maith bhí sé an t-amhránaí a raibh sna cairteacha den chuid is mó I rith 44 bhliain. A chéad uimhir a haon a bhí aige ná All Shook Up I 1957. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Jurgen Klopp sa Ghearmáin I 1967 agus rugadh amhránaí John Newman sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1990 agus seo chud de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 16th of June, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: irish people spent a record of £520m on alchol and tobacco during 1976 which waas an increase of almost £87m. 2000: the government were not shrinking from further action to make houses more affordable if the sweeping package unveiled does not work. 1989: It was expected that there would be a poll close to seventy five percent. 2000: Nurses in our lady hospital in ennis spoke out against plans to develop a high security psychiatric unit at spanish point.

This also set a new record for the longest span of No.1 hits with 44 years, 11 months and 9 days. His first UK No.1 single was 'All Shook Up' in 1957. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – soccer coach Jurgen Klopp was born in Germany in 1967 and singer John Newman was born in the UK on this day in 1990 and this is one of his songs.

Striking nurses and midwives have officially called off their nationwide industrial action, effective immediately, following several days of disputes with their employers that caused widespread disruption to healthcare services
Episode 28 brings listeners an interview with a driver victimized by a black mark on his driving abstract, even though the cell phone ticket he was issued was withdrawn by the Crown Attorney. We reported on his case in Sunday's edition of The Winnipeg Sun.7.30 Part 2 - Brian Kaplan tells TGCTS how he crossed paths with a radar cop who had a surly attitude.The unmarked speed trap unit was parked on a grass boulevard aside the Disraeli Freeway. North Point Douglas residents, including Kaplan, had already complained about the damage caused by the police cars tearing up the lawn.After he pulled over to take a photo, the incensed officer ("he was pissed") punished Kaplan with a $672 ticket falsely alleging he had been driving while taking the picture- and that infraction came with an automatic "administrative" three day suspension.The case was so weak the Crown dropped the charge- and Kaplan “figured they gave me the disposition that the charges are stayed, and I said ok great the good guys won.”13.30 - Two months later, Kaplan discovered his drivers abstract listed the suspension, even though the underlying allegation was dropped. Potential employers see the word "suspended" and back away, even though there was no conviction.Hear him describe what happened in traffic court, and the injustice of Manitoba Public Insurance and the NDP government hiding behind bureaucratic rules to ignore the court result and impair his ability to work, all a result of retaliation by a rogue cop.29.40 Part 3- Independent Manitoba MLA Mark Wasyliw offered some blunt comments to Marty Gold about the unfairness of administrative suspensions.The veteran lawyer has extensive experience defending drivers in court and has a lot of insight into the politics behind these laws . Along with a lack of oversight on traffic stops creating distrust of the police, "this attitude is class based - Many working class jobs require a driver's license and people cannot work without one... The law hurts some Manitobans more than others and doesn't operate in a way that a reasonable Manitoba would expect."Most notably, Wasyliw says the process is "Procedurally unfair and most likely would not survive a constitutional challenge."******Check out our Sun column that revealed how late night shiftworkers, such as nurses at Health Sciences Centre and St. Boniface Hospital, will face a risky walk and wait at a bus stop if they need to catch a bus home after work, all thanks to a new Transit plan that ignores genuine public safetyand convenience. Nurses, late workers get raw deal in city's Transit plan revampThat's just another example of what we specialize in delivering - investigations and analysis that unearths government unfairness, neglect and wrongdoing.

Nurse practitioner Surani Hayre-Kwan discusses her article "Are you protecting your career? 5 essential questions about your NP liability insurance." Surani discusses the critical need for nurse practitioners to secure their own professional liability insurance, highlighting how relying solely on employer-provided coverage can leave significant gaps. She provides insights into common pitfalls, such as employer policies often excluding licensing board complaints or having shared liability limits. Surani explains the crucial differences between occurrence and claims-made coverage and the importance of understanding "tail" and "nose" coverage to ensure continuous protection when switching jobs or carriers. She also offers actionable advice on how robust documentation, including adherence to SOAP note standards and careful patient engagement, can serve as a powerful defense against legal challenges. Surani emphasizes that comprehensive malpractice coverage is vital for protecting an NP's license, career, and financial stability. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

This week's episode is incredibly close to my heart, and not the usual type of episode I share since this is largely a story about me. Just a few months after becoming a nurse, I was diagnosed with a rare bone marrow disorder known as a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). Since then, I've shared bits of that journey here and there, but today, I'm going deeper with a very special guest: Becca Claassen, an oncology nurse with InCyte and a fellow MPN warrior. Together, Becca and I explore what it's like to live with an MPN and what nurses need to know to better care for patients with this chronic condition. Whether you've never heard of MPNs or you care for oncology patients regularly, this episode offers a powerful blend of clinical insight and personal experience. In this episode, you'll learn: What an MPN (myeloproliferative neoplasm) is and why it's so complex Common types of MPNs and how they affect the body Symptoms patients may experience How to be a more empathetic and informed nurse when caring for someone with a rare chronic illness Our personal stories of diagnosis, treatment, and day-to-day life with an MPN This isn't just a clinical overview. It's a conversation between two nurses who are also patients. I hope it helps you walk away with a better understanding of what your patients might be going through, both physically and emotionally. __________________________ Voices of MPN Mobile Tracker App - Share this tool with your MPN patients so they can track their symptoms and have more meaningful conversations with their care team.
