In this episode of One in Ten, host Teresa Huizar speaks with Kristi Westphaln (UCLA School of Nursing) about integrating children's voices into Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) outcome measurement and understanding what healing after abuse means to youth. Westphaln describes her work with the Canopy CAC and a scoping review showing CAC literature emphasizes programmatic measures (forensic interviews, prosecution) more than child perspectives, and how this aligned with the National Children's Alliance Youth Feedback Survey pilot.Time Stamps: Time.

Step behind the curtains of the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) in this compelling episode of the Legal Nurse Podcast. Host Pat Iyer sits down with Paul Sayeg, a seasoned registered nurse, legal nurse consultant, and expert witness, to explore the hidden world of PACU nursing, a fast-paced, detail-intensive environment where patients emerge from anesthesia at their most vulnerable. With over two decades of clinical experience, Paul shares his insights on patient monitoring, the critical role of the Aldrete and modified Aldrete scores, and the unique challenges facing nurses in this high-stakes setting. Together, they dig into the standardized tools and clinical judgment required for safe patient recovery in various settings, from hospitals to same-day surgery centers. Real-world cases and stories illustrate the life-and-death importance of nurse vigilance, thorough documentation, and seamless teamwork. The discussion also peels back the layers of system-level pressures such as "factory line healthcare," that can contribute to liability risks and medical errors. Listeners will gain a valuable perspective on how a healthy PACU culture supports early intervention and patient safety, and how expert witnesses piece together complex cases using standards published by the American Society of Peri Anesthesia Nurses (ASPAN). Whether you're a legal nurse consultant, healthcare professional, or simply curious about what happens after surgery, this episode delivers a candid look at the science, systems, and human factors behind successful post-anesthesia care. What You'll Learn in This Episode on Behind the Curtain: PACU Nursing, Complications, and Legal Risks  Here are 5 discussion questions answered in the podcast: What are the different settings in which post-anesthesia care is delivered, and how do patient acuity and procedure type influence these settings? How does the Aldrete score assist nurses in post-anesthesia care, and what are its key assessment areas? In what ways can documentation errors, such as missing vital signs, impact the accuracy of the Aldrete score and patient safety? What is the significance of the modified Aldrete score, and how has it evolved to better reflect current anesthesia practices? How do standards of care published by organizations like ASPAN influence clinical practice and legal nurse consulting? Get the free transcripts and also learn about other ways to subscribe.

Photo by Igor Omilaev on Unsplash Artificial intelligence (AI) is already upending our world. It's being used in health care in a variety of ways, including for interpreting x-rays and other imaging, flagging potential concerns that a clinician may overlook, and supporting diagnostic decision-making. There have been suggestions that robots and AI could even replace nurses. Needless to say, there are a lot of concerns within the nursing community about how AI is used in health care. In recognition of these concerns, the American Academy of Nursing issued a position statement on Artificial Intelligence in Health Care. HealthCetera host Diana J. Mason, RN, PhD, FAAN, discussed this position statement with  Debra Barksdale, RN, PhD, FAAN, president of the Academy and Dean of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro School of Nursing.

Michele Scarlet sits down with RN, Nurse Practitioner, and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner Connie Wade for an honest conversation about what 25 years inside the emergency room taught her about the limits of conventional medicine, why her own doctor told her she was not "sick enough" to treat, and how she finally healed the symptoms she had been "swiping away" for years. In this powerful Health Detective Podcast episode, Connie shares her personal journey through psoriasis, debilitating joint pain at 48, chronic reflux, daily ibuprofen use, estrogen dominance, heavy painful periods, more than 20 years of night shift, H. pylori, an overwhelmed liver and gallbladder, food sensitivities to her favorite foods, and a depleted gut microbiome. Together, Michele and Connie unpack how functional lab testing gave Connie the vindication she had been looking for, why she healed in three months once she addressed the root causes, and why she chose to keep working in the ER while building her functional health practice on the side. This episode dives deep into: Why her doctor said "she wasn't sick enough" and sent her home with ibuprofen The functional labs that finally explained her symptoms after years of being dismissed How 20 plus years of night shift flatlined her cortisol and disrupted her hormones H. pylori, food sensitivities, and the gut findings that changed everything Why psoriasis, joint pain, and heavy periods are not just "normal aging" The reframe that helped Connie cut gluten, sugar, and dairy without feeling deprived Why so many nurses are leaving bedside nursing and the third option most do not consider How to build a functional nursing side practice without leaving your license or your job Why going all in or all out of conventional medicine limits your reach as a clinician The four simple daily practices Connie recommends to every patient How to ask your family for support when you start your healing journey Michele and Connie also discuss why the body is constantly trying to send messages, why most of us swipe them away for years, and why functional lab testing catches dysfunction long before conventional labs ever turn "abnormal." If you are a woman struggling with joint pain, psoriasis, hormone imbalance, or symptoms your doctor keeps dismissing, or you are a nurse, NP, or clinician quietly exploring functional medicine as a career path, this episode will change how you view your body and what is possible.

The ongoing outbreak of hantavirus infections that originated with passengers on the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius in April has generated concerns across the globe. This very rare occurrence has led to a number of deaths, required quarantining of passengers and prompted emergency responses from public health authorities in multiple countries.  On this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier, we're tapping the expertise of a leading authority on the subject, Dr. Jamie Childs of Yale University, to provide you with a scientific understanding of hantaviruses and what level of threat is posed by this situation. In short, Dr. Childs believes this is not the start of a pandemic. “The Andes variant involved here is one of the most dangerous hantaviruses, but it is totally controllable with contact tracing.” This timely conversation with host Lindsey Smith is informed by Dr. Childs' decades of hantavirus research as well as learnings from his role leading the CDC's environmental investigation during the landmark 1993 hantavirus outbreak in the Four Corners region of the American Southwest. And be sure to stay tuned to hear his concerns about the factors complicating containment of the current Ebola outbreak in East Africa. Note: this conversation was recorded on May 19th, 2026.

As one of Australia's top Speed Painters, she has lived and breathed the dynamic process of transformation for over 20 years, turning blank walls and cavasses into thought-provoking pieces of art, with limited time and often in front of a live audience. Merging her artistic talent with her passion for public speaking, Rowan has reimagined the role of the artist, pushing the boundaries of a studio-based pursuit into a trail-blazing performance genre that challenges the limitations of time and space.After graduating from Converse College in 2003 with a BFA in Studio Art, Rowan started an art business in Greenville, South Carolina, USA before moving to Sydney to expand her horizons. It was here that she used the process of creative futurism to overcome depression, challenge chronic illness and create a new future for herself and her family. No longer shackled by societal norms, she has stepped into the full power of her truth personally and professionally.Rowan's strong emotional storytelling, along with her ability to paint fast and think fast has captivated hundreds of clients like Nestlé, ANZ, AMP, Ernst & Young, Woolworths, Sydney Airport, and Priceline. She has inspired audiences to embrace their own creativity which she believes is a “birthright to all” and to date has painted at over 600 events raising over $400,000 for charity.Other clients include: SAP, Netball World Cup, Salvation Army, Terry White Chemmart, YPO, City of Sydney, Commonwealth Bank, American Express, Doterra, Department of Defence, Mirvac, Australian College of Nursing, Liberty Finance, University of Sydney, NAB, ANZ, Dexus, Fastway Couriers, AUSCAM, Bombay Sapphire, International Canadian School Ho Chi Min City, etc.

We mark National Mental Health Awareness Month on this episode by tapping the expertise of Dr. Steve Strakowski, an internationally recognized expert in bipolar disorder, who has spent decades studying the neurobiology and treatment of mood conditions while pushing just as hard on the structural barriers that keep effective treatments out of reach for more than half the people who need them. In this conversation with Raise the Line from Elsevier host Michael Carrese, Dr. Strakowski explains why access, not science, is now the biggest obstacle to improving mental health outcomes. He also addresses the heavy toll society pays for underfunding mental health prevention and treatment programs. “The money is spent eventually, but in the most expensive places like emergency rooms and prisons, and there is the human cost of suffering and suicides." This important discussion also covers: The persistent problem of Black patients presenting with mania being misdiagnosed with schizophrenia;  Why he describes bipolar disorder as a reward-processing illness;  The emerging therapies he finds encouraging.

Photo by CDC on Unsplash Pediatric providers — whether a pediatrician or pediatric nurse practitioner—are in short supply not just here but across the country. One pediatric nurse practitioner is sounding the alarm about this issue and HealthCetera producer and host, Diana Mason, RN, PhD, talked with this nurse, Dr. Rajashree Koppolu, about the shortage, its impact on access to care for children and their families, and what can be done to address the issue. Dr. Koppolu serves as Manager of Advanced Practice Professional Development for Stanford Medicine Children’s Health and has held advanced clinical roles in pediatric general surgery and cardiology as a pediatric nurse practitioner. She is a past president of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing. She's also a Senior Fellow at the Center for Health Policy and Media Engagement at the GWU School of Nursing. In February 2026, she published an article for Medscape titled “Growing Shortage of Pediatric Healthcare Workforce.” This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio on April 15, 2026. The post Pediatric Provider Shortage appeared first on HealthCetera.

In this urgent episode, host Amie Archibald-Varley sits down with Dr. Michelle Acorn, CEO of the Nurse Practitioners' Association of Ontario (NPAO), to rip the band-aid off a system that refuses to evolve. Dr. Acorn pulls no punches: Nurse Practitioners are trained, capable, and ready — and they're being held back by outdated policy, inadequate funding, and a government content to watch the primary care crisis deepen rather than act. What you'll hear in this episode: The full scope of what Ontario's inaction actually means for patients on the ground Why NPs remain one of the most underleveraged solutions in Canada's healthcare system The funding reforms and regulatory barriers that must be dismantled — now What a truly patient-centered, NP-inclusive system could look like — and the path to get there Why this moment is a turning point This is the conversation healthcare needs to have. The one that doesn't end with "we'll study it further." If you care about access to care, about equity, about a system that finally treats Nurse Practitioners as the leaders they are — this episode is required listening. Subscribe, share, and turn up the volume. The gritty truth can't wait. Update: The April 1st Deadline Has Come and Gone. Ontario's Patients Are Paying for It. The federal government drew a line in the sand: by April 1, 2026, provinces must ensure that medically necessary services delivered by Nurse Practitioners are publicly covered. Ontario blinked — and millions of patients are now left holding the bill. As reported by CBC News, Ontario failed to meet the federal deadline, leaving Ontarians without primary care and forcing them to pay out-of-pocket for services that should never cost them a dime. This isn't a bureaucratic hiccup. This is a political choice — and people without a family doctor are the ones suffering the consequences. The Gritty Nurse isn't here for polite conversation. We're here to start the revolution. More About Dr. Michelle Acorn Dr. Acorn has over 35 years of nursing, health systems and leadership expertise. NP Acorn transitioned to her NPAO CEO role in 2024.

In this episode, Pediatric Nursing Editor Dr. Tedra Smith, talks with 2025 Donna Wong Award winner Briana Keller, a PhD Candidate at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, about her article published in the November/December 2025 issue titled “'I Can't Complain Because at Least I Still Have My Child': Disenfranchised Grief Among Mothers of Chronically Ill Adolescents.” Ms. Keller discusses the intangible and often overlooked loss parents of chronically ill children may experience, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing and supporting that grief. Initially set out to explore ambiguous loss amongst chronically ill adolescents, she explains how interviews with caregivers unearthed a less discussed hurt – disenfranchised grief. She shares her experiences in studying this topic, including one particular interview in which a mother felt she could not complain because at least she still had her child. Ms. Keller continues on to discuss how health care providers can support both parent and child from diagnosis and beyond.Briana P.

Send us Fan MailYou're going to love this one.Today I'm talking with Seth Radnothy, a fellow nurse whose path into healthcare is anything but typical. Before he ever stepped into a hospital, he was serving as a Reconnaissance Marine—and if that doesn't tell you something about his ability to stay calm under pressure, just wait.Seth's worked as a paramedic and in both emergency and perioperative nursing, so he knows what it's like when things get intense fast. These days, he's taken all that experience and built something really unique—Pulsepoint Prose Legal Nurse Consulting—where he helps attorneys make sense of complex medical cases. He also shares what he's learned as a legal nurse consultant with the next generation of nurses as a clinical nursing instructor. And because he values his work/life balance, in his off time, he plays guitar in his band, hits CrossFit, mountain bikes, and hangs out with his wife and their furry crew.This one is about the many ways a nursing career can evolve—and how all of your experiences can come with you. In the five-minute snippet: We all scream for ice cream.

After a decidedly difficult few years in the world of nursing, things have seemingly gotten better — at least, on paper. And that's reflective of a lot of hard work on the part of nursing leaders. But when we look at how long nurses plan to stay in the profession, we see a different story taking shape. In this episode of Radio Advisory, host Abby Burns is joined by Advisory Board nursing expert Ali Knight and Optum expert Sherilynn Quist. Together, they unpack what today's workforce data is really telling us and what it misses, the root causes driving nurses' discontent, and why strengthening the nursing workforce can't be left to nurse leaders alone.

NHS trade unions have persistently ignored the pernicious effects of this ideology, both on their own members and on the children in their care. This illustration featured in an article on caring for transgender patients in the Royal College of Nursing's magazine. The RCN has been silent on the need to protect the single-sex spaces and rights of its female members. And it has said nothing about the physical and psychological damage being done to young patients by the experimental and often mutilating ‘transgender care‘ they receive in NHS institutions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

In this episode, we sit down with Allison, a core member of the medical team at Eleusinia Retreat, to explore her deeply personal and professional journey into psychedelic care.After spending more than 30 years working as an ER nurse, Allison came to Eleusinia as a guest seeking her own healing experience. What she discovered during that journey profoundly changed her life and revealed a new calling: psychedelic nursing.Allison shares what it was like to transition from the intensity of emergency medicine into the deeply human work of supporting people in vulnerable, non-ordinary states of consciousness. She reflects on the meaning of joining the Eleusinia team, the importance of compassionate presence, and the privilege of holding space for transformation and healing.This conversation offers a powerful glimpse into the heart of psychedelic care, the evolution of nursing, and the profound impact of witnessing human transformation up close.

Jodie shares her path from returning to nursing later in life and struggling through a difficult graduate year to building her third business as a systems-focused business coach.After realising casual nursing required years of full-time work and feeling trapped, she explored other options, then—encouraged by her partner—chose to build a coaching business instead of working for others.Jodie explains how she helps service-based businesses improve the end-to-end client experience through operations, standard operating procedures, delegation, automation, and systems that can later integrate with AI, plus planning social content and strengthening customer service follow-up.She describes rapidly raising prices from low-cost sessions to audits starting at $2,000 and six-month coaching packages up to $20,000, alongside results like doubling a client's turnover in three months and reaching a planned $1M milestone early.Jodie now works casual nursing and emphasises rest, life design, networking, and getting a coach.00:00 Meet Jodie00:14 Nursing to Grad Year01:42 Breaking Point Pivot02:53 First Million Dollar Win03:19 Networking Over Socials05:27 What a Systems Coach Does06:08 Client Experience Systems08:25 Nursing Skills in Business09:59 Pricing Journey to 20K 15:15 Going Casual Nursing16:33 Rest and Life Design18:51 Advice for Nurses19:41 Wrap Up CelebrationFREE RESOURCES

"When the workforce does not align with the population, your system is misaligned by design." That candid observation comes from Tina Loarte-Rodríguez, DP, RN who has spent much of her two decade career in patient safety, risk management, and systems leadership as the only Latina in the room, which she sees as a signal of a systemic failure that demands structural solutions. As we mark National Nurses Month, Dr. Loarte-Rodríguez joins Raise the Line from Elsevier  host Lindsey Smith to explain why a culturally congruent workforce has important implications for access, trust and quality of care. This wide-ranging discussion also covers: What Dr. Loarte-Rodriguez means by "narrative infrastructure" and how a book series born during COVID is now shaping workforce conversations nationwide;   The case for making mentorship a core institutional system;   Why nursing burnout is not about a lack of resiliency.  Mentioned in this episode: Latinas in NursingThe Connecticut Center for Nursing Workforce If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.
