“We want to make sure that nurses, have opportunities both in our local communities as well as international communities, to engage in courageous dialog with others who may think or look different than we do and whose culture or language may also be different. The difference is what brings us together and allows us to have more of this tapestry of what we are about—ensuring that we advance health for all and that we are able to move forward together,” ONS member Ashley Leak-Bryant, PhD, RN, OCN®, professor at University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, told Darcy Burbage, DNP, RN, AOCN®, CBCN®, chair of the ONS 50th Anniversary Committee, during a conversation about international collaboration in oncology nursing. Burbage spoke with Leak-Bryant, ONS member Kristin Ferguson, DNP, MBA, RN, OCN®, senior director of strategic operations, bone marrow transplant, and cellular therapies at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, and ONS member and Chief Clinical Officer Erica Fischer-Cartlidge, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, EBP-C, about their experiences working in the global oncology space and how ONS is advancing those efforts.

This was when I was in nursing school at UNC Greensboro. An opportunity came about where I had a chance to go to Honduras, and it was for a one-week service learning cultural immersion experience. And that really gave me my first entree into global health as well as global training. And so, as a first-generation college graduate who had never been out of North Carolina nor had ever flown, it was really an eye-opening experience that has led me now to my current role and passion for global health.” TS 3:24 Leak-Bryant: “In 2018, we had the Malawian delegation come to UNC Chapel Hill. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has one of the longest standing collaborations with Malawi, and we call it UNC Project Malawi, and it has been in existence for more than 30 years. … Those nurses and other allied health professionals came to UNC to our cancer center to see how we were making sure that we were engaged in best practices, then how they would be able to take that back to Malawi to make sure that they have what they need as they were opening up a new national cancer Center in Malawi.” TS 7:57 Ferguson: “I have volunteered with ONS at the Asian Pacific Breast Cancer Summit, which was in Indonesia in 2024, and then a few months ago in Singapore. And this is an exciting conference because it draws in nurses from the region, so you end up having five, six, maybe seven countries represented at these conferences, where oncology nurses are very eager to learn, meet one another. And so the teaching that we've provided there has been a combination of lectures and then roundtables where we've strategically placed nurses attending with nurses that are not at their same hospital so that they can connect and share experiences with myself and another ONS member and maybe some other local staff acting as moderators and facilitating conversations.” TS 18:04 Ferguson: “When I was in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 2019, the people there, most of them do not speak English, so they speak their native language Georgian. As I presented, I was wearing a headset, and all of the oncology nurses in the audience were wearing a headset, and I was live translated. What this means is when you're speaking, a translator is sitting in a booth close by and you can actually very quietly hear in your ear he or she quietly translating what you're saying into a language that the nurses can understand. It's actually a bit funny because when you make a joke or ask a question, expecting nods or head shakes, it takes several seconds for the translation to occur. You can get used to a 10-second delay, and you have to pause your speaking and allow actually a little bit more time in presenting if translation services are required.” TS 22:25 Fischer-Cartlidge: “I think that the professional organization role is absolutely critical in how we advance global oncology. Certainly, providing education and helping empower nurses to be more autonomous and equal partners on the care team is a big piece of that. But it's also through forming international partnerships and really elevating the collective voice of nurses in the specialty. This goes a long way in standardizing practices, promoted leadership development among oncology nurses, really across the world. We know that nurses are not seen the same country to country to country on the healthcare team. And so a big part of what we do is try to elevate the importance of what nurses bring to cancer care.” TS 36:14 Fischer-Cartlidge: “I have so many hopes. I hope more opportunities come up for us to raise awareness of this essential role and how we bring a greater spotlight to what nurses are doing across the world for patient care. I hope to see us have more collective global position statements in this space. I hope to see that we have more unified projects across nursing organizations across the world, where we then really can bring our resources and our members together to do great work more effectively and more efficiently. And I think the beginnings of that are happening right up to this point.” TS 41:17

Every other week I'm republishing one of my most popular or impactful episodes and adding an update, new insight, or context that will help you benefit from it even more. This week I'm highlighting Episode #69, which is all about imposter syndrome. I've talked about imposter syndrome time and time again to different groups of nursing students and that's because almost every single person can relate. If you've ever said to yourself, "I don't belong here" or "They're going to find out I don't know what I'm talking about" then you may very well suffer from imposter syndrome. In this podcast episode, Nurse Mo talks about imposter syndrome, why it's so common in nursing students and why it has absolutely nothing to do with how amazing you actually are. ___________________ ⁠Full Transcript⁠ - Read the article and view references ⁠FREE CLASS⁠ - If all you've heard are nursing school horror stories, then you need this class!

My guest this week is Fiona Harrison - Indigenous Australian chocolatier, storyteller, and the founder of Chocolate On Purpose, a purpose-driven business blending couverture chocolate with Australian native botanicals. Based in Millthorpe, NSW, Fiona works with corporate gift buyers to help them find truly meaningful, distinctly Australian gifts - gifts that not only delight the senses, but deepen cultural understanding. Through her handcrafted Bush Food Chocolate range, Fiona shares the traditional use of native botanicals by First Nations Peoples, building respect for ancient wisdom through the universal language of chocolate. Certified by the Savour Chocolate & Patisserie School, Fiona has twice taken first place in the Mr Chilli Chocolate Competition and has had her dark chocolate range certified vegan by Vegan Australia. Her creations have been featured in Qantas lounges during NAIDOC Week and selected by major organisations across sectors - from KPMG to the Australian College of Nursing - to celebrate and honour Indigenous culture. At Chocolate On Purpose, Fiona's motto is: “Yindyamangidyal Marramarra - With Respect and Honour we Create.” That ethos lives in every bar she makes and every story she tells - transforming chocolate into a powerful medium for truth-telling, reconciliation, and connection. In this episode, we talk about Fiona's journey into chocolate making, the role of food in cultural education, and how she's helping Australian businesses give with both impact and intention.

There are few people who have the depth and breadth of knowledge about long-term services and supports than Jennie Chin Hansen, who we are honored to have as the 300th guest on today's episode. With a rich background in nursing and a penchant for solving problems, Hansen's career spans decades of leading top healthcare organizations such as the American Geriatrics Society, AARP, and On Lok, which is the flagship/prototype for what is now known as People for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). She currently serves on the boards of the Medicare Advantage SCAN Health Plan and HelpAge USA. In 2019, she helped to craft the California Masterplan for Aging, now in implementation.  For this week's episode, Hansen sits down with Susan Ryan to discuss how her childhood experience as an Asian girl living in Boston shaped her career choices. She also discusses her desire to see more upstream work that focuses getting “people prepared for their own aging changes.”  Finally, Hansen shares her vision for what she believes will help to not only “hold the line,” but also move it with regard to ensuring economic security for older Americans. Among Hansen's many awards are the American Academy of Nursing's Health Care Leader Award, American Society on Aging's Hall of Fame Award, and the National Council on Aging's Lifetime Achievement Award.  In 2024, she received an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters degree from Harvard University at its commencement ceremony in May of 2024. Here is video of highlights from that event: https://youtu.be/lzDYU7sNddA?si=W0hGbEWsS8osCaRq. 

With an estimated shortage of 70,000 registered nurses nationwide, how can nursing schools help close the gap? Dr. Karen Cox, president of Chamberlain University, joins host Jason Altmire to break down the root causes of the nursing crisis and the bold steps her institution is taking to solve it. In recent years, the increased difficulty of direct care nursing work has made it harder than ever before to work as a nurse, resulting in a 30% turnover rate for nurses in their first year on the job. She shares why holistic admissions and flexible, real-world training models are essential to building a stronger, more resilient nursing workforce. To learn more about Career Education Colleges & Universities, visit our website.

Eunice was a confident hard working woman, that loved God, her country and her family. She was proud of her accomplishments and rightfully so.  Chef Dennis is a successful classically trained chef, now retired and a very popular travel and food blogger. He prefers to cook for others rather than cook a meal for himself. His grandmother taught him a lot about food and cooking and she passed down "the joy of cooking." And now Dennis is sharing the 'joy of it' with all of his readers. You can find out more at https://www.askchefdennis.com/ Dennis's maternal grandparents were originally from Mexico and both were highly educated. His grandmother was a  teacher and his grandfather  a minister.  Eunice and her nine siblings were also all educated starting at a young age. All the children were born and raised in Texas and bilingual from an early age. Littley says of his mother's family "they were an all American family-all my uncles served in the Armed Forces and an uncle was at Pearl Harbor."  Because Eunice was always studying and/or working, she never really had too much time to cook.  She often worked nights so she could be home to see  Dennis before and after school. Chef Dennis says that his mom, who he adored dearly, "influenced him and his love for cooking in an offhanded way." "Her lack of cooking skills and my love of food and her encouragement really helped push me in the right direction.  She was the reason I really started cooking and went int this field." says Littley.  Dennis loved to cook for his mom and says  "I was never pressured into being a doctor or lawyer, my mother just wanted me to be happy."  But he took care of his mom as well. At a young age, he would collect recyclable bottles and cans, ride his bike to the supermarket and buy food with the money he made to cook for his mom because she didn't have time to cook for herself.  Dennis agrees that he gave his parents a hard time, a bit rambunctious, but he was named after the  'Dennis the Menace' tv character, after all.My guest, got his first full time job at 12 years old and became manager of a burger place, flipping burgers at 13 in Atlantic City, New Jersey right on the ocean.When asked what meal he'd cook for his mom if she were here today, Dennis reminisces about the rice, pepper, onion, bacon and cheddar cheese casserole his mom and he loved to eat till the dish was empty and everyone was happy.  Later on in life, once Eunice had retired from nursing, she was able to embrace her time in the kitchen with her friends and found the ‘joy of cooking'.

She worked hard to combine her love for beauty with her passion for caring and healing others, attending aesthetics school while working as a hospital night nurse. After graduating as a licensed aesthetician, Nicole left the hospital where she had been for 3.5 years and began working as a registered nurse for a plastic surgeon. An experience of over 6 years that would leave her with so much knowledge and respect for the aesthetic world. It was during those 6 years that she pursued her Master's Degree and obtained her license as a Family Nurse Practitioner, leading the way for where she is now; owning a state of the art medical aesthetic practice and being a national Allergan Trainer. Nicole takes pride in treating her patients holistically, focusing on facial balancing and enhancing one's natural beauty.

If you've ever felt pressure to hold it all together while falling apart on the inside, this episode is for you.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/genese-smithIn this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, MommaFoxFire sits down with Genese Smith, a registered nurse of 28 years who is now also a certified transformational life coach. Genese shares her powerful, personal journey through clinical depression and the slow, sometimes messy path of recovery... all while juggling her roles as a nurse, coach, wife and woman over 40 trying to take care of everyone around her.Genese didn't start out wanting to be a nurse. She had dreams of becoming a doctor, fueled by her love for biology, but chemistry and physics weren't her strong suits. Nursing became her “plan B” that turned into a lifelong calling. Still, she tried to leave nursing several times due to the heavy demands and burnout. But it kept calling her back, and now she embraces it as part of her ministry - a way to serve and connect with others through care.Her transition into coaching came after hitting a wall while running her own business. Working herself to the bone and constantly crying, she finally opened up to her doctor who helped her recognize the signs of depression. Like many people, Genese had a hard time accepting the diagnosis. She was a nurse. She was supposed to know better. But through therapy, modified work schedules and eventually joining her husband on a holistic wellness journey, she began healing mentally, emotionally and spiritually.One of the most shocking moments in her story was the stroke she experienced while driving to work. She recounts the surreal experience of talking on the phone, being unable to locate the hazard lights and being picked up by an ambulance and taken to the same hospital she worked in. That health crisis only deepened her compassion and gave her even more empathy for patients, especially those recovering from strokes and battling depression.Genese talked about the importance of balancing rest, something she admits is still a work in progress. She opened up about the guilt she feels when resting and the societal pressure to keep going - a feeling many listeners will instantly recognize. Her recovery has been shaped by tools like prayer, gratitude journaling, dietary changes, professional help, and the practice of listening to her thoughts with more awareness.She also touched on common misconceptions about depression - like the belief that someone who is smiling or upbeat couldn't possibly be depressed, or that people should just “snap out of it.” Genese's message was clear: depression doesn't have a look, and recovery takes real work, time and support.This conversation is honest, relatable and full of warmth. Genese brings the kind of wisdom that only comes from lived experience. If you've ever felt the pressure to keep it all together, questioned whether your exhaustion is “normal,” or struggled to put yourself first, this episode is one you'll feel deeply. It's a reminder that healing is possible, rest is necessary and you're not alone in the fight.

Send us a textMy guest this week, Dr. Nancy Bellucci, is the academic program director for the College of Nursing at Columbia Southern University. She holds a PhD in nursing and has many credentials to her name. I always feel a bit nervous interviewing highly accomplished nurses like Nancy, but she assured me that those letters are ladders to more opportunities, which put me completely at ease.Starting her Associate program at the age of 38, Nancy brought both maturity and passion to her learning journey, and she has never stopped learning. Her nursing career has taken her from being an operating room nurse to an educator and manager, and ultimately to academia.As the academic program director, Nancy is responsible for developing the nursing curriculum from the baccalaureate to doctoral levels. She is a unique educator who integrates empathetic curriculum design into the classroom. Nurses are inherently empathetic caregivers, and through her compassionate approach, Nancy has created a learning environment that takes into account the time and experiences of her nursing students. I love that she mentioned it's no longer about the "sage on the stage" but rather about making students the center of attention, just as nurses practice patient-centered care. This philosophy has significantly helped bridge the gap between nursing and academia.My initial apprehension about Nancy's numerous credentials was unnecessary. She is one of the most down-to-earth educators I have encountered. Although we discussed serious topics, our conversation was filled with light-hearted humor, and I genuinely believe her students are fortunate to have her.In the five-minute snippet: She's a CAT-5  traveler.

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. I also got a little blue beret because Kevin insists I wear more hats. Quince also has other 100% European linen dresses and shorts from $30.
