Acute kidney injury is one of the most common complications seen in hospitalized patients, yet it's a topic that often leaves nursing students overwhelmed by lab values and terminology. In this episode, I'm breaking down the three types of AKI and showing you how to recognize the clues that help distinguish one from another. We'll talk through: - Common causes - Important assessment findings - Key lab values - Complications to watch for when kidney function begins to decline. We'll also review how urine output, fluid status, creatinine, BUN, potassium, and other findings fit together so you can stop memorizing isolated facts and start understanding the bigger picture. Nursing school gets easier when you have a system to help you identify what to focus on as you study, and to connect the dots so you can see that bigger picture. I get you started building that system in my free Nursing School Survival Blueprint, where I share the key shifts you can make which separate struggling students from thriving ones.

"I'd already finished my cardiovascular unit. I'd finished my pulmonary unit. I had never heard about this in any of my classes." That was Dr. Joel Bervell's reaction to discovering that a device used every day in hospitals -- the pulse oximeter -- reads less accurately on darker skin tones. He posted a 30-second video about this consequential discrepancy that, to his utter surprise, gained over 500,000 views by the next morning. That video launched Dr. Bervell into orbit as a social media presence and created his identity as The Medical Mythbuster. In just a few years, he's built a following of two million people, earned a Peabody Award and was named to the inaugural Time 100 Creators list, all while finishing his residency.  On this episode of Raise the Line, host Lindsey Smith welcomes Dr. Bervell to explore the roots of this kind of bias and the real world impact of drawing attention to it. “The most impactful biases in medicine exist because no one stops to ask who was included in the original data and who was left out,” Dr. Bervell explains. Stay tuned to also learn about: His YouTube animated series The Doctor is In which helps kids understand how their bodies work, as well as providing medical role models; How to build trust with marginalized communities; His forthcoming book, The Default Body which examines who medicine was actually designed for.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Schenita D. Randolph. A nurse scientist, Associate Professor at Duke University School of Nursing, and Founding Director of the HEAT Lab (Health Equity, Advocacy, and Trust Lab). The conversation focuses on health disparities impacting Black communities, HIV prevention, the role of nurse scientists, systemic barriers in healthcare, and the importance of community-driven solutions to improve health outcomes. Dr. Randolph also discusses her journey from North Carolina A&T State University to becoming a nationally recognized researcher and advocate for health equity. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Highlight the critical work being done to address health inequities in Black communities. Educate listeners about HIV prevention and awareness, particularly among Black women. Explain the role of nurse scientists in research, healthcare innovation, and public health. Discuss the impact of systemic barriers on healthcare access and outcomes. Promote community partnerships as a strategy for improving public health. Encourage greater awareness, testing, prevention, and engagement around HIV and other health challenges. Key Takeaways 1. HBCUs Play a Vital Role in Developing Healthcare Leaders Dr. Randolph credited North Carolina A&T State University for laying the foundation for her nursing career and leadership journey. She emphasized the significant impact HBCUs have had on educating healthcare professionals and advancing minority representation in nursing. Lesson: HBCUs continue to be powerful institutions for developing future leaders across multiple professions, including healthcare. 2. Nursing Is Much More Than Bedside Care Dr. Randolph challenged common misconceptions about nursing, explaining that nurses serve as entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, educators, scientists, and healthcare innovators. As a nurse scientist, her work focuses on developing evidence-based interventions that reduce health disparities and improve outcomes for underserved communities. Lesson: Nursing encompasses a broad range of leadership, research, and public health roles beyond traditional patient care. 3. Nurse Scientists Are Underrepresented Dr. Randolph revealed that less than one percent of nurse scientists are Black, highlighting the need for greater representation in healthcare research and academic leadership. Lesson: Diverse voices in science and research are essential for addressing health challenges that disproportionately affect underserved populations. 4. The HEAT Lab Uses Community Partnerships to Address Health Inequities The HEAT Lab brings together researchers, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, community advocates, business owners, and local organizations to address health disparities through collaboration. Rather than imposing solutions, the lab works directly with communities to develop culturally relevant interventions. Lesson: Meaningful change happens when communities are actively involved in creating solutions. 5. HIV Remains a Significant Public Health Challenge Dr. Randolph emphasized that HIV remains a major issue, particularly among Black women in the Southern United States. She noted that Black women account for a significant percentage of new HIV diagnoses and that prevention efforts must continue despite advances in treatment. Lesson: HIV is still a critical public health concern and requires continued education, prevention, and awareness. 6. Prevention Tools Exist but Are Underutilized A major focus of Dr. Randolph's work centers on increasing awareness and access to PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), a medication that significantly reduces the risk of HIV infection. She noted that many women do not realize PrEP is an option for them because healthcare providers often fail to discuss it and public messaging has historically focused on other populations. Lesson: Awareness and access are often just as important as medical innovation. 7. Health Disparities Are Influenced by Systemic Barriers The discussion explored how factors such as healthcare access, economic inequities, education, housing, food access, and systemic racism contribute to unequal health outcomes. Dr. Randolph stressed that health disparities are not solely the result of personal decisions but are shaped by broader systems and structural barriers. Lesson: Effective health solutions must address both individual behavior and systemic obstacles. 8. Medical Distrust Has Real Consequences Dr. Randolph explained that negative healthcare experiences often influence whether people seek treatment, trust providers, or engage in preventive care. Building trust is a crucial component of improving health outcomes in underserved communities. Lesson: Trust is a critical factor in healthcare engagement and adherence. 9. Community Leadership Is Essential The HEAT Lab works closely with barbers, beauty salons, community organizations, and local leaders to spread health information and reach people where they are. Dr. Randolph believes trusted community voices can often be more effective than traditional healthcare messaging. Lesson: Community-based outreach is an important tool for improving public health awareness. 10. Black Communities Must Become More Proactive About Health Throughout the conversation, both Dr. Randolph and McDonald stressed the need for greater community engagement, health advocacy, routine testing, education, and shared responsibility. Lesson: Improving health outcomes requires collective action and community empowerment. Notable Quotes Dr. Schenita Randolph on Nursing "Nursing is so much more than the bedside."

Dr. Schenita Randolph on Community Empowerment "I hope that we as a community can be empowered and that we can support one another for our health." Dr. Schenita Randolph on Collective Responsibility "We are truly our brother's and our sister's keeper." Rushion McDonald on Healthcare Challenges "People of color, we are in denial, denial, denial."

Jenifer Lockwood became a surgical nurse in Florida, grew up watching her mother struggle with addiction, developed her own health complications that introduced her to prescription pills, and eventually built a scheme at her job calling in fraudulent prescriptions to pharmacies to feed the addiction before law enforcement set her up at a pharmacy and arrested her — producing a 15 year Florida state prison sentence that she served 13 years of before sobriety, a paralegal career built inside those walls, and a complete life transformation gave everything that addiction cost her a completely different second chapter. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #PrisonLife #florida #nurse #truecrimestory _____________________________________________ Thank you to HUNGRYROOT, PRIZEPICKS & AG1 for sponsoring this episode: Hungryroot: Explore my Hungryroot Digital Cookbook "The Commissary Upgrade" at https://hungryroot.com/LOCKEDIN _____________________________________________  PrizePicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $150 if you win your first $5 lineup! _____________________________________________ AG1: For a limited time, save 20% on your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro at https://drinkag1.com/lockedin _____________________________________________ Connect with Jenifer Lockwood: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeniferlockwood_postconviction/ Website:https://postconvictionalliance.org/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAcGRvZgJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA85MzY2MTk3NDMzOTI0NTkAAadFH6OUvd0oYsZ49876ZgUNamkrtoguEvoHhTss8b8Eae0YjSpPFNXIEHSGUw_aem_zplLQ5f36CmzUcciKJ03Vw _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick:  https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Surgical Nurse's Journey 00:28 Growing Up in Pensacola 02:22 Discovering Biological Father 05:52 Influence of Medical Family 09:15 Early Marriage and Nursing 12:04 Life as a Surgical Nurse 14:41 Sponsor Break 15:14 Traumatic OR Stories 20:36 Addiction Begins 24:47 Mother's Role in Addiction 27:20 Silent Struggles in Healthcare 30:40 Prescription Ends, Desperation 35:20 Arrested in Pharmacy 38:48 Drug Trafficking Charge 41:02 Pharmacy Verification Process 43:36 Bond and Legal Threats 48:39 Out on Bond, Terminated 50:05 Bond Revoked and Withdrawal 52:27 Firing Lawyer, Public Defender 55:00 County Jail Experience 57:38 Sponsor Break 58:47 Legal Process and Plea Deal 01:03:58 Understanding Gain Time 01:05:18 Marriage and New Relationship 01:09:10 Motherhood from Prison 01:13:26 First Day of Prison 01:19:29 Fitting in at Gatson 01:23:31 Becoming a Law Clerk 01:29:51 Prison Shows and Talents 01:31:04 Types of Cases Helped 01:32:32 Sobriety and Self-Discovery 01:35:35 Using Nursing Skills in Prison 01:38:49 Financial Support Inside 01:39:55 Mother's Sobriety 01:40:06 Questioning Sentencing Length 01:42:50 Refusing Cases and Prejudice 01:48:53 Comparing Sentences 01:50:15 Lessons from Encounters 01:53:42 Approaching Release Date 01:55:59 Release and Reuniting with Kids 02:03:36 Josh's Anger and Healing 02:05:30 Current Work and Advocacy 02:08:13 Feeling the Lost Years 02:09:25 Advice to Past Self _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

"...these are qualities that are core to who we are. And there's times where we may be underusing strengths. And one of them I'll give for Nurses. Often one of our strengths as a profession, is kindness. We're caring. We're compassionate. Everybody says that about Nurse. We know that.But how many of us would underuse kindness for ourselves? At some level, potentially. I mean, it's so easy. We're caring, giving to others, but we may be underusing it for ourselves. These strengths are to be used, the goal is to use them to benefit ourselves and others." ~Chad Sanders RN, BSN, NC-BC, MSc APPCP, MBSP Certified FacilitatorAh-Ha MomentsNurse Coaching begins with knowing and caring for ourselves. Chad reflects on his own experiences with burnout and the tension nurses can feel when healthcare systems don't align with their values. Integrative Nurse Coaching helped him recognize that his own well-being, self-awareness, and personal growth are foundational to how we care for and coach others.Know your strengths and learn to live them. Chad introduces the VIA Character Strengths and encourages listeners to identify the qualities that are essential, energizing, and natural to who they are. Rather than simply knowing your strengths, he invites you to practice them mindfully and consider how they can support you through challenges, relationships, nursing practice, and everyday life.Mindfulness and character strengths can become powerful partners. Through practices such as mindful strength use, strength spotting, reflection, and intentional awareness, we can become more present to what is best within ourselves and others. Chad's work reminds us that strengths don't eliminate adversity, and they can provide meaningful resources for navigating it while supporting well-being.Nurse Coaching can evolve into something uniquely your own. Chad's journey has led him to combine positive psychology, mindfulness, music, movement, character strengths, and group coaching into his emerging Embody Your Strengths Coaching practice. His story is a beautiful example of how Nurse Coaches can evolve over time, bringing your own interests, talents, experiences, and even playfulness into how you serve others.Links and ResourcesIntegrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! podcastChad's LinkedInChad's InstagramConnect Wellness™ websiteNewsletter: Embodied Rhythm & Inner Intelligence Review™VIA Institute on Character: Free VIA Character Strengths SurveyPublished research:Wellbeing and Nursing Burnout — Journal of Happiness and Health (2022)Interprofessional Substance Use Disorders Education — American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education (2020)Interprofessional Psychiatry Education — Academic Psychiatry (2017)*****Integrative Nurse Coach Academy I Integrative Nurse Coach FoundationWe provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting.

Rather than imposing solutions, the lab works directly with communities to develop culturally relevant interventions. Lesson: Meaningful change happens when communities are actively involved in creating solutions. 5. HIV Remains a Significant Public Health Challenge Dr. Randolph emphasized that HIV remains a major issue, particularly among Black women in the Southern United States. She noted that Black women account for a significant percentage of new HIV diagnoses and that prevention efforts must continue despite advances in treatment. Lesson: HIV is still a critical public health concern and requires continued education, prevention, and awareness. 6. Prevention Tools Exist but Are Underutilized A major focus of Dr. Randolph's work centers on increasing awareness and access to PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), a medication that significantly reduces the risk of HIV infection. She noted that many women do not realize PrEP is an option for them because healthcare providers often fail to discuss it and public messaging has historically focused on other populations. Lesson: Awareness and access are often just as important as medical innovation. 7. Health Disparities Are Influenced by Systemic Barriers The discussion explored how factors such as healthcare access, economic inequities, education, housing, food access, and systemic racism contribute to unequal health outcomes. Dr. Randolph stressed that health disparities are not solely the result of personal decisions but are shaped by broader systems and structural barriers. Lesson: Effective health solutions must address both individual behavior and systemic obstacles. 8. Medical Distrust Has Real Consequences Dr. Randolph explained that negative healthcare experiences often influence whether people seek treatment, trust providers, or engage in preventive care. Building trust is a crucial component of improving health outcomes in underserved communities. Lesson: Trust is a critical factor in healthcare engagement and adherence. 9. Community Leadership Is Essential The HEAT Lab works closely with barbers, beauty salons, community organizations, and local leaders to spread health information and reach people where they are. Dr. Randolph believes trusted community voices can often be more effective than traditional healthcare messaging. Lesson: Community-based outreach is an important tool for improving public health awareness. 10. Black Communities Must Become More Proactive About Health Throughout the conversation, both Dr. Randolph and McDonald stressed the need for greater community engagement, health advocacy, routine testing, education, and shared responsibility. Lesson: Improving health outcomes requires collective action and community empowerment. Notable Quotes Dr. Schenita Randolph on Nursing "Nursing is so much more than the bedside."

Pushback from Health New Zealand, who are assuring that patient needs are being met despite fresh staffing concerns. The agency's released data for almost 740-thousand shifts last year, showing around a quarter of shifts across 615 wards were below the target staffing level at some point. Nurses Organisation CEO Paul Gaulter says Health New Zealand should resource and staff to need. But the agency's Chief Nurse Nadine Gray told Mike Hosking patient safety is their top priority. She says they expect high-quality care to be offered to every patient who walks through their doors. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we speak with Ms. Sharon Welsh BSN, RN about a novel project she has embarked upon called CLEAR CHD PHYSIOLOGY (on Instagram chdphysiology.icu) which is a physiology-based site intended to teach bedside critical care nurses about CHD physiology. What signs or symptoms are important and what is their meaning? Why is nursing at the bedside of a sick postoperative newborn so much more difficult than it was at the start of Ms. Welsh's career? How does Ms. Welsh use AI to create a flexible learning tool for RN's and all interested in congenital heart physiology? Ms. Welsh provides the answers this week. 

What if the key to leading change isn't having all the answers, but knowing how to listen? In this episode, Sue Hassmiller, a nationally recognized nurse leader, leadership coach, and health care strategist, talks about the human side of leading teams through change and what it takes to build trust, psychological safety, and true ownership. She explains why deep listening and genuine relationships are more effective than simply telling people what to do. She also explores the difference between compliance and ownership, and how leaders can help teams take greater responsibility for improvement by connecting change to their values and giving them a voice. Finally, Sue shares how coaching, curiosity, and self-awareness can help leaders overcome judgment and better understand why teams may feel stuck, resistant, or exhausted. Tune in to learn how leaders can listen differently, build stronger connections, and create the conditions for meaningful, lasting change in health care! IHI Spotlight - Jesse McCall: In this IHI Spotlight, Jesse McCall, Senior Director at IHI, explains that sustainable healthcare improvement depends as much on people and culture as it does on technical methods. He emphasizes connecting frontline staff to a shared purpose, creating psychologically safe environments where people can speak up and test new ideas, and ensuring leaders close feedback loops so employees become partners in change rather than recipients of it. About Sue Hassmiller: Sue Hassmiller, PhD, RN, FAAN, is an executive and leadership coach for nurse executives and health care leaders. Across a distinguished career spanning frontline public health, nursing academia, high-level government policy, and 25 years leading national initiatives at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, she has dedicated her life to transforming health care systems from the inside out. An elected member of the National Academy of Medicine, recipient of the Florence Nightingale Medal, and recognized as a Living Legend by the American Academy of Nursing, Sue combines multi-sector expertise with certified coaching to help health care leaders navigate complex relationships, drive health equity, and champion compassionate care. She is also the author of Resetting: An Unplanned Journey of Love, Loss, and Living Again, which explores healing and the vital human element in modern health care. Things You'll Learn: Deep listening is essential for understanding how people experience and respond to change. Leaders build ownership by listening to their teams, acknowledging their perspectives, and connecting change to shared values. Psychological safety enables teams to contribute ideas, innovate, and perform at their best. Effective behavior change requires leaders to change their own behaviors by becoming more curious, self-aware, and less judgmental. Leaders can better support stuck or exhausted teams by asking questions and seeking to understand the underlying causes instead of making assumptions.

Despite gains in recent years, Black, Hispanic, and Asian communities are still under-represented in the U.S. nursing workforce. We're going to explore that gap and how to close it on this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier with Dr. Ernest Grant, Vice Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging at the Duke University School of Nursing. "You get a patient who is more compliant when they see someone who looks like them, who is from their culture and who can advocate on their behalf," he tells host Lindsey Smith.  Dr. Grant bases that and other insights on a rich professional background that includes 50 years in nursing, being a leading advocate for his profession and breaking down barriers himself as a male nurse of color and the first man elected president of the American Nurses Association.  In this thoughtful conversation, Dr. Grant reflects on what it took to earn credibility in leadership roles, how he's navigating the political climate on DEI initiatives, and the causes and solutions to the persistent shortage in nursing faculty, among other pressing issues. Tune in for a uniquely-informed look at what it will take to build a stronger, more representative nursing profession.

What happens when California's fastest-growing older population lives in communities where housing is scarce, healthcare can be hours away, and essential support services are difficult to find? For rural older adults, these challenges are already a reality—and they are only becoming more urgent.In this episode of the California State Rural Health Association Podcast, we hear from Dr. Pauline DeLange Martinez, a public health researcher and gerontologist at the UC Davis Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing's Family Caregiving Institute. Dr. DeLange Martinez brings together research, community engagement, and policy expertise to examine how California can better support older adults and family caregivers in rural communities.Dr. DeLange Martinez explores why action is needed now. Nearly one in eleven Californians age 65 and older lives in a rural community, while rural counties have a higher proportion of older adults and higher rates of disability. Even more striking, California's population age 85 and older is projected to increase by 158% between 2025 and 2040—creating an urgent need to rethink how rural communities approach aging, healthcare, housing, and caregiving.Drawing on a two-year Rural Master Plan for Aging initiative involving three California regions and 227 community participants, Dr. DeLange Martinez shares findings from older adults, caregivers, healthcare providers, and community leaders. The conversation examines three critical areas:Housing: Hidden homelessness, rising costs, manufactured-home challenges, limited affordable housing, and the impact of disasters such as wildfires.Long-Term Services and Supports: The growing pressure on family caregivers, shortages of direct care workers, limited rural services, and the need for better navigation and caregiver support.Healthcare: Long travel distances, provider shortages, delayed care, chronic disease, behavioral health needs, dementia care, transportation barriers, and persistent inequities affecting rural older adults.The episode also explores practical policy recommendations, including expanding home- and community-based services, strengthening the rural direct care workforce, improving transportation, increasing telehealth and community paramedicine, expanding geriatric expertise, and ensuring that older adults are meaningfully included in California's Rural Health Transformation Plan.But perhaps the most important takeaway is that rural California is not one-size-fits-all. From wildfire recovery in the North State to nutrition access in the Central Valley and extreme geographic isolation in the Inland Empire, rural communities have very different needs—and effective policy must give local communities the flexibility to identify and address their own priorities.Listen to this important conversation to learn what rural aging looks like today, what California can do to prepare for the future, and why supporting older adults must be central to achieving true rural health equity.What You'll Learn From This Episode:Meet the ResearcherWhy Rural Aging Needs ActionMaster Plan for Aging and Rural InitiativeHousing Instability SolutionsCaregiving and Workforce GapsHealthcare Fixes and Final TakeawaysThe CSRHA has been a go-to resource for rural healthcare and community leaders since 1995.

Join our community. Text "freedom" to (202) 918-5348  In this episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes back nurse practitioner Amy Siple for an incredible update on her fight against the Kansas Board of Nursing—and the major reforms that followed. After missing a licensing deadline while caring for her husband during his cancer battle, Amy faced disciplinary action that could have damaged a career spanning more than 30 years. Instead of accepting it, she fought back. What began as one nurse challenging the system uncovered similar stories across Kansas, including nurses whose careers and livelihoods were devastated by minor licensing and paperwork mistakes. Now, that fight has produced real results. Kansas lawmakers passed reforms separating licensing mistakes from professional discipline, requiring the removal of qualifying nurses from disciplinary databases, changing how the nursing board operates, and creating a fund for nurses harmed by past actions. Amy also shares how her own case was ultimately vacated and how another major reform gives Kansans a fairer opportunity to challenge government agencies in court. It's a remarkable story of what can happen when one person refuses to back down—and how one fight against government bureaucracy could help thousands of nurses in Kansas and inspire reforms across the country.

What would health care look like if nurses had the power to shape the systems they work in? In this episode, Dr. Beverly Malone, President and CEO of the National League for Nursing, discusses why nurses must be recognized not simply as health care workers, but as healers, leaders, educators, and system shapers. She explains how nursing's unique combination of scientific expertise, empathy, advocacy, and whole-person care gives nurses a critical perspective on what patients and health care systems need. Dr. Malone calls on health care organizations to invest in nurses by providing career pathways, supporting well-being, fostering inclusion, and ensuring meaningful participation in decision-making, arguing that the future of health care depends on listening to and empowering the nurses already at the center of care. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about the power nurses already hold, and what health care systems can do to listen to, support, and empower them to lead!  About Dr. Beverly Malone: Dr. Beverly Malone is President and CEO of the National League for Nursing. A nurse, educator, clinician, and global health care leader, she has held senior leadership roles in the United States and the United Kingdom, including serving as Federal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health under President Bill Clinton and as General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing in the UK. Her work has focused on nursing education, leadership, diversity and equity, evidence-based practice, and advancing nurses' roles in shaping health care systems. Things You'll Learn: Nurses are healers whose work combines science, skill, empathy, trust, and hope. Nurses exercise leadership every day by coordinating complex systems around patient care. Health care organizations must replace gratitude alone with meaningful structural support for nurses. Nurses need a seat at decision-making tables because their frontline perspective can reveal what systems miss. Nursing education and clinical practice must collaborate to prepare and support nurses throughout their careers. Cultures of belonging and well-being are essential to retaining nurses and delivering quality care. Empowered nurses can help lead health care toward prevention, health promotion, and more coordinated care. Resources: Connect with and follow Dr. Beverly Malone on LinkedIn.

What does it take to compete on the world's biggest stage and then pivot to one of the most demanding training paths in professional life? Today's guest, Samantha "Sammy" Kolowrat, has done both, and she has some fascinating insights into the commonalities of those two worlds on this episode of Raise the Line. “Something that really drew me to medicine is the team atmosphere that's there as you work towards a common goal, and there's this level of intensity that's very reminiscent of the experiences I had as a professional athlete.” Originally from Prague, Kolowrat represented Czechia at six IIHF Women's World Championships and the 2022 Beijing Olympics, and also captained the Division I women's hockey team at the University of Vermont while earning degrees in biology and pharmacology.  As she starts an anesthesiology residency at Vanderbilt University, she credits her athletic career with shaping how she handles pressure, feedback, and teamwork in medicine. "The more I improve, the more knowledge I acquire, the more skills I hone, the better care my patients get," she tells host Lindsey Smith, describing what drew her to a field that rewards the same relentless fine-tuning as elite sports. This engaging conversation also explores: How crippling performance anxiety as a Division I athlete ended up preparing Kolowrat for the operating room; Why she was drawn to anesthesiology's "well-oiled machine" atmosphere; The mentorship gap she's working to close for the next generation of athlete-physicians.

Host Sandra Lindsay, DHSc is joined by Dawnette Lewis, MD, MBA, director of Northwell's Center for Maternal Health, to assess the current landscape of maternal morbidity and mortality. Dr. Lewis reveals that the U.S. continues to have one of the highest maternal mortality rates among developed nations, with Black birthing mothers still carrying a disproportionately high burden. She argues that disparities for Black mothers persist even when accounting for varying socioeconomic status, citing historically inequitable care and other systemic barriers that stall progress. The discussion also highlights efforts in New York State to better standardize care and address these complex challenges.

In this episode of the Elevate Care podcast, host Enderson Miranda sits down with Brian Floyd, Chief Operating Officer at ECU Health and chairman of the board for the North Carolina Health Care Association, to unpack a framework Brian calls the "six dimensions of rurality." Drawing on more than 30 years of healthcare leadership, coupled with the unique understanding of a clinician that practiced within the rural healthcare setting, Brian explains why treating rural healthcare as simply a geography problem misses the point, and why density, distance, demographics, disease burden, determinants, and disparity together create structural barriers that urban-focused policy often fails to address. Brian also shares how ECU Health builds a sustainable workforce from within its own communities, using point-based admissions systems with local universities to keep talent close to home, and how the organization has partnered with AMN Healthcare to achieve conversion rates for international nurses well above the national average. The conversation closes with a candid look at the role technology can play in closing access gaps, and the advocacy work that healthcare leaders must take to ensure rural systems remain viable for the communities that depend on them. This episode offers healthcare leaders a clear and structural lens for evaluating rural care delivery, along with concrete workforce and policy strategies that translate directly into retention, access, and financial sustainability. Key Takeaways Rural healthcare needs a structural definition, not just a geographic one. Brian's six dimensions of rurality (density, distance, demographics, disease burden, determinants, and disparity) reframe how leaders and policymakers should evaluate rural care delivery. Hospital closures are the tail end of a much longer decline. Physician loss, specialty care exits, and reduced preventative services happen long before a hospital closes its doors. Payment reform must remain a top policy priority. Wage index adjustments and reimbursement structures often pay rural systems less for treating the same disease burden as urban systems. Local workforce investment drives long-term retention. ECU Health adjusts university admissions criteria to prioritize students from the communities it serves, growing local enrollment by over 10 percent. Mission-driven culture fuels nurse retention, both nationally and internationally. ECU Health converts more than 90% of international nurse placements into permanent employees, a rate significantly above national average. Technology can close access gaps that bricks-and-mortar models cannot. Telehealth and AI free up clinician time for direct patient care and extend reach across low-density rural regions.   Chapters 00:00 – Introduction to Brian Floyd and ECU Health 01:01 – Brian's Journey from Nursing to Health System Leadership 04:08 – Why Rural and Urban Healthcare Operate Under Different Realities 07:04 – The Six Dimensions of Rurality: Density, Distance, Demographics, Disease Burden, Social Determinants, and Payment Disparity 14:06 – How Technology and AI Can Close Rural Access Gaps 17:37 – Where Rural Healthcare Gaps Hit Hardest: Patients Versus Systems 20:52 – The Policy Gap: Why Payment Reform Matters Most 24:08 – Building a Sustainable Rural Workforce from Within 32:29 – Local Talent Meets Global Talent: Retaining International Nurses 36:42 – Advocacy Advice for Healthcare Leaders Meet Brian Floyd Brian Floyd is Chief Operating Officer at ECU Health, a health system with eight hospitals, including a 1,100-bed tertiary academic medical center, and roughly 250 clinics across eastern North Carolina.

Send us Fan MailTransitioning from bedside nursing into healthcare content creation comes with a steep learning curve—especially when learning how to tailor your voice for different readers. In this episode of The Savvy Scribe, I sat down with Jeanese Ex, RN, BSN—an experienced obstetrics nurse who successfully pivoted into medical writing and continuing education development following a career-altering injury.Jeanese shares how bedside charting skills translate seamlessly into health copywriting, how she built her own Florida Board of Nursing-approved CEU portal, and the subtle yet critical differences between creating content for consumers versus clinicians.Mastering the Art of Writing for Patient Education and CliniciansWhen health writers transition between consumer and professional content, adjusting tone, readability, and depth is essential. During the episode, Jeanese breaks down key strategies for writing for patient education while maintaining clinical rigor when writing for peer audiences:Pivoting After Bedside: How a physical injury forced a career pivot and opened doors to freelance writing and course development.Overcoming Perfectionism: Why perfectionism holds nurse writers back and how to overcome imposter syndrome in marketing and client acquisition.Patient vs. Professional Audience Nuances: Adapting health literacy levels, complex medical terminology, and engagement strategies depending on whether you are writing for patients or healthcare professionals.Becoming a CEU Provider: The logistical step-by-step process of setting up a state board-approved continuing education platform with low-stress, video-based learning.Advocacy & Neonatal Loss: Using personal patient experiences to build toolkits that teach nurses how to communicate compassionately during critical moments.About Jeanese ExJeanese Ex is an RN, BSN with more than 20 years of nursing experience, primarily in women's health, labor and delivery, postpartum, antepartum, nursery, OB triage, and critical care float nursing. Throughout a diverse career, she has served as a bedside nurse, charge nurse, preceptor, educator, and patient advocate. Jeanese has also been involved in perinatal bereavement care for over a decade—an experience that deeply shapes her approach to education, communication, and compassionate nursing practice.Following a severe hip injury that led to an extended step away from bedside care, Jeanese reimagined how clinical expertise could serve the healthcare community beyond direct patient care. In October 2025, she joined Savvy Nurse Writer's Plan Produce Profit program, harnessing years of clinical knowledge, lived experience, and teaching insight to launch Altruistic Nurse Writer, LLC, where she creates nurse-led educational content and continuing education courses.As an approved Continuing Education provider—developed in collaboration with Teresa Sanderson—Jeanese offers six OB-focused CE courses covering critical topics such as neonatal grief, maternal sepsis, hypertension in pregnancy, compassion fatigue, trauma-sensitive birth care, and becoming an OB nurse navigator.What began as an unexpected career disruption evolved into a powerful opportunity to bridge clinical background, writing, and a passion for nurse education. Today, Jeanese works to ensure nurses feel prepared, supported, and confident while demonstrating that nursing knowledge can make a lasting impact far beyond the bedside.Resources & Show LinksGuest Website: Altruistic Nurse WriterFeatured Resource: Critical Moments in OB Toolkit & CEU Courses Special Discount: Get 10% off all course offerings with code SAVVY10 at checkout (valid for 45 days post-release).Welcome to the Savvy Scribe Podcast, I'm so glad you're here!

An 11-year-old boy in rural Zambia once told Dr. Genesis Mwamba that he was about to attend school wearing shoes for the first time in his life. That moment, Dr. Mwamba says, crystallized why he started the Lead Me Back Foundation to provide school supplies and other support to marginalized communities in his native country.   As you'll learn in this inspiring installment in our NextGen Journeys series, Dr. Mwamba started the foundation in 2021while still a medical student because he had experienced the power of education as an “equalizer” in his own life, taking him from humble roots to a career in medicine. He and his colleagues have grown the bootstrapped organization to a point where it now provides hundreds of thousands of people across the country with educational access, climate education and community health clinics. “I've always been drawn to opportunities and initiatives that bring help to humankind,” he tells Raise the Line host Dr. Parsa Mohri. This episode also explores: What building "with" a community rather than "for" it looks like in practice; The storytelling strategy that attracted donors and partners; How his mother's untimely death inspired his commitment to preventive medicine.   Mentioned in this episode: Lead Me Back Foundation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.
