Dr. Brandon Brock and I had a fascinating discussion about how inflammation is a key factor in neurodegenerative diseases. We explored how factors like diet, the environment, and post-COVID effects can worsen these conditions. Together, we emphasize the importance of a holistic treatment approach—combining diet, lifestyle adjustments, and innovative therapies like low-level laser therapy to improve outcomes. We also dive into exciting topics like the gut-brain axis, immune resilience, and the transformative potential of functional neurology. You don't want to miss this one! Key Takeaways: Impact of Inflammation on Neurodegeneration: Chronic inflammation significantly contributes to neurodegenerative diseases, making immune modulation essential. Role of the Gut-Brain Axis: The health of the gut directly affects brain function, illustrating the importance of holistic treatments. Post-COVID Inflammatory Burden: Long COVID acts as a catalyst for inflammation, affecting multiple organ systems, especially the brain and heart. Innovative Therapies: Non-thermal, low-level laser therapy can improve cellular function and reduce inflammation. Food as Medicine: Diet plays a critical role in preventing neurodegenerative diseases and overall health maintenance.   More of Dr. Brandon Brock: Dr. Brandon Brock is a highly accomplished clinician and educator.

Her research examines emotional processes across the adult life span. She is interested in how affective experience varies across the life course, and how differences in affective experience may be related to differences in cognitive and health-related processes. Dr. Charles is also interested in the interplay between health and emotion, including the relationship between physical health factors (both health behavior and health status) and emotional processes, and how these relationships may vary as a function of age.   In this episode, we focus on affective well-being across the lifespan. We start by discussing what it is, how emotional function changes across the lifespan, biological changes that affect emotional processes, emotion regulation, and cognitive and health-related processes. We also talk about the role of individual differences, and the relationship between physical health and emotion. We discuss daily stressors, affective reactivity, and physical health. We talk about affective responses to negative social interactions, the role of rumination, and emotional memory. Finally, we discuss how social relationships change with age, the health benefits of close social ties, and loneliness among old people. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

What it takes to be a nurse scientist-in-training and a practicing clinician at the bedside requires a level of emotional maturity I think is likely entirely unique. I have immense respect for your work, and no one should ever make you feel as if you are a lesser researcher or scholar because of your clinical practice. Relationships with patients is why we do what we do.

Low sexual desire in women partnered with men is typically presumed to be a problem—one that exists in women and encourages a research agenda on causation and treatment targeting women. In this paper, we present a distinct way forward for research on low sexual desire in women partnered with men that attends to a more structural explanation: heteronormativity. A heteronormative worldview assumes that relationships and structures are heterosexual, gender (usually conflated with sex) is binary and complementary, and gender roles fit within narrow bounds including nurturant labor for women. We propose the heteronormativity theory of low sexual desire in women partnered with men, arguing that heteronormative gender inequities are contributing factors. We outline four hypotheses and their predictions related to: inequitable divisions of household labor, blurring of partner and mother roles, objectification of women, and gender norms surrounding sexual initiation. We discuss some mechanisms—social, physiological, and otherwise—for the heteronormativity theory, especially related to stress, objectification, and nurturance. We close by noting some limitations of our paper and the ways that the heteronormativity theory of low sexual desire in women partnered with men provides a rigorous, generative, and empirical way forward....Article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8382213/Andrea Martin, DNP, CRNP, WHNPAndrea is a board-certified Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, which enables her to offer reproductive and sexual health care to all genders.

In this Bell Work Talk, Dr. Clements and Ms. Varto will discuss that it is important to continually educate forensic nurses with evolving forensic nursing science, as forensic nursing now approaches being a formally established specialty for 30 years (American Nurses Association recognized Forensic Nursing as a specialty in 1995), it is additionally incumbent for our members to educate others, both interprofessionally and intraprofessionally. As the unique base of forensic nursing science continues to expand, it is critically important for our professional members to share that information to enhance nursing care to both victims and offenders across all settings – not just those settings that may be specifically or directly considered to be “forensic” in nature. This podcast provides several case examples of how forensic nursing knowledge was shared with other healthcare professionals, both intra and inter professionally, in order to heighten awareness toward enhanced and targeted assessment and intervention for patients in healthcare scenarios that may not have necessarily been considered to be acutely forensic, yet, certainly could have medico-legal implications. Paul Thomas Clements is a forensic psychiatric clinical specialist, a Certified Gang Specialist, and Certified in Danger Assessment. Practicing in the forensic nursing arena for over 30 years, Clements has provided consultation for hospital systems, EMTs, Child Protective Agency personnel, trauma/emergency nurses, psychiatric providers, academic and corporate settings – each regarding vulnerability risk assessment, target-hardening, and decreasing the number of violent incidents in the workplace, as well as bullying and the subsequent sequelae. Clements has provided consultation to public school systems and other child-related agencies related to child abuse assessment, and also related to the aftermath of violence and/or violent death (including homicide of a child and gang-related deaths) for teachers and other classmates. Clements has three upcoming edited textbooks: Gender Violence Across the Spectrum: A Trauma-Informed Approach, Mental Health Issues in Child Maltreatment: A New Perspective, and Violence Against Women: Contemporary Examination of Domestic Violence. Additionally, he has numerous peer-review publications, and a significant number of conference presentations – nationally and internationally – that address assessment and intervention related to the neurobiology of trauma, interpersonal violence and aggression, coping after a violent death, safety assessment, and exposure to interpersonal violence and crime. Nurse Practitioner Hannah Varto works in and led the development of Canada's only outpatient, rapid access specialty clinic providing medical-forensic care to survivors of recent violence. She is an instructor for the local post-secondary forensic health sciences department and a co-investigator in a number of research studies specific to brain injury from head impacts and strangulation in survivors of recent violence.

Well-being improves across young adulthood and into midlife, according to a new study by Susan Charles, professor of psychological science at the University of California, Irvine. “Contrary to negative stereotypes of aging, late life is a time of relatively stable and high levels of well-being,” says Charles. “With older age, people focus more on the present and less on planning for the future, and this mindset is one possible explanation for high levels of well-being later in life. Older adults generally report greater satisfaction with their close friends and family members, which may also explain why people who are older have relatively stable levels of well-being over time.” Charles and her research team followed 1,000 people, ages 22 to 95, over two decades for the study, which was published earlier this year in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. They asked participants about the positive and negative emotions they were feeling that day, in the past week and in the past month. You can read more details here. Professor Charles is enthused to discuss her team's findings.

The term "nurse scientists" might sound right out of some science fiction movie, but this is a very real and very significant league of nurses.  Associate Dean of Research at UNLVSON Lorraine Evangelista explains what makes a nurse scientist stand out; and what she's learned from mentoring young researchers.

Episode 119: Nurse Practitioner WeekAmy Arreaza is a family nurse practitioner who explains what this career is all about. She tells the history and the future of this profession.  By Amy Arreaza, FNP. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.Hector: When I moved to Utah from my home country, I went to a clinic to investigate why I was so fatigued. I wasn't a practicing physician at that time. I got seen by a family physician who was very brief and somewhat cold. During my follow-up appointment, I was attended to by a very pleasant lady doctor. She made good eye contact, smiled, and explained the results in a simple and easy way. In summary, my second visit was very enjoyable. Later, I learned that this lady was a nurse practitioner. I had no idea what it meant, but after many positive interactions, I became a fan of nurse practitioners in general. Today, I want you to learn more about this profession, and I invited my favorite nurse practitioner in the whole world, my wife Amy. Welcome, Amy Arreaza.Tell us who you are.Amy: First of all, thank you for inviting me to your podcast to talk about this wonderful profession. And second, I must reciprocate in kind, you are my favorite family physician. So, as you said, I am a nurse practitioner, but more specifically, I am a family nurse practitioner, or FNP for short. I've been an FNP for 14 years and currently work in central CA in a federally qualified health center as a primary care provider for the medically vulnerable.  Caring for this patient population is where my passion truly lies. What is a Nurse Practitioner?A nurse practitioner is an advanced practice registered nurse. This means they are RNs who have completed either a master's degree or a doctorate degree in nursing practice. With their extra education and training, they have similar job duties as a physician, and there is actually a lot of overlap in the roles of nurse practitioners and physicians. NPs' serve as primary care providers or as specialty care providers. They examine and assess patients' needs, order and interpret labs and imaging tests, diagnose disease, and provide treatment, which includes prescribing medication. In the United States, the scope of practice of a nurse practitioner is regulated by state law. As of this year, NPs have full practice authority in 26 states, the District of Columbia, and 2 US territories. This means that NPs can work independently in those states without the supervision of a physician. In the remaining states, NPs need to have a collaborative agreement with a physician or work under the supervision of a physician. How was this career created?Well, in the 1960s, Loretta Ford, a public health nurse in Colorado, recognized a deficit in health care in rural communities. She believed nurses could fill the healthcare gaps in rural America, and through the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education in Nursing, she was given an opportunity to help develop a specialized clinical curriculum for community health nurses.  In 1965, Loretta Ford joined forces with Dr. Henry Silver, a pediatrician, to create the first pediatric nurse practitioner program at the University of Colorado.  So, 57 years ago, the NP profession was created to help alleviate the physician shortage at that time. And today, with a continued shortage of physicians, the NP profession has become essential in meeting primary care needs across the United States. Hector: There are 24 states that still do not offer full practice authority to NPs. Those states are more likely to have “geographic health care disparities, higher chronic disease burden, primary care shortages, higher costs of care and lower standings on national health rankings.”Amy: That's right, research shows that states with full practice authority for NPs' rank highest in the nation for best access to care, while 9 of the bottom 10 states ranked as the least healthy states in the US have not yet granted NPs full practice authority.How do you become an NP?The first step in becoming an NP is to become a registered nurse with either an Associate's Degree or Bachelor's Degree in Nursing Science. You can then enroll in an associate's-to-master's degree NP program or a bachelor's to master's  degree NP program.  At the minimum, you must complete a Master of Science in Nursing (or MSN) Degree. However, you may choose to advance your education with a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (or DNP) degree.  After graduation, NPs take a national certification exam to get certification from the specialty board that oversees their practice area. For example, I graduated from the University of Utah family nurse practitioner program and then took the national Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Exam from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. This makes me a board-certified FNP. How many kinds of NPs are there?There are multiple kinds of NPs. I am a family nurse practitioner, meaning I can treat patients from infancy through their golden years to the end of life. Many FNPs work in family practice clinics; however, FNPs have a broad scope of practice which makes them very versatile, and they can work in different specialty care clinics as well. For example, as an FNP, besides working in family practice, I have worked in wound care and in urgent care. FNPs work in cardiology, pulmonology, dermatology, orthopedics, and various other specialty clinics. NP programs are generally patient-population focused, so besides the family nurse practitioner program, there are Adult, Emergency Care, Gerontology, Pediatric, Neonatal, Nurse Anesthetist, Nurse Midwife, Psychiatric, and Women's Health nurse practitioner programs. How can IMG MDs become NPs?I understand that it can be very difficult for an international medical graduate to be able to practice as an MD in the United States. If an IMG is interested in becoming an NP, I would recommend that they look for a university nursing program that offers an accelerated RN option for those who already hold a bachelor's degree in another field, then find out if the program will accept their international bachelor's degree. They will most likely need to validate their international degree before applying to the accelerated RN program. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, they could apply to a nurse practitioner program. Another option for IMGs is to look into physician assistant programs. Current statistics about NPs': In 2020, there are about 210,00-270,000 practicing NPs in the United States. The number of nurse practitioners is expected to grow in the following years by about 52% between 202 and 2030, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Currently, Americans make more than 1 billion visits to NPs'every year. The growth of NPs' is expected to address the current physician shortage.  Thank you, Nurse Practitioners.____________________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 119, “Nurse Practitioner Week.” Amy Arreaza, FNP, explained the basics about Nurse Practitioners and how they contribute to the health of our patients.

In the last episode (019),  I briefly stated my first encounter with Alzheimer's Dementia through my grandfather. Despite the popular belief that this disease was a right of passage for every old person, I have come to learn that this myth is still very prevalent in our African communities. Some people even attribute Alzheimer's to witchcraft or a curse. I suppose it is still difficult to understand and, most importantly, accept that it is nothing other than a disease. Therefore, I have invited a familiar face to this platform in the person of Dr. Leonard Ngarka (neurologist), and Vivian Ngang (aka Aunty Vivian) to have an in-depth discussion on Alzheimer's Dementia and give us more insight from a healthcare provider and caretaker perspective.  Dr. Leonard Ngarka will focus more on educating our community about Alzheimer's Dementia while Vivian Ngang will share her first-hand experience on how she applied the knowledge shared with respect to caring for her mother (listen to her story in episode 019). I hope you learn and pick some key points from this episode, and as always, I hope the conversation continues within your circles. Thanks for listening.    Meet Our Guests: Vivian Ngang is a Registered Nurse with a doctorate degree in Nursing and a Master's degree in Nursing Science. She is a Clinical Nurse Manager in one of the hospitals or one of the units at the Veterans Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. She has been married for 25 years – blessed with four beautiful children and one grandchild. Dr. Leonard Ngarka is a Neurologist who works at Yaounde Central Hospital, Cameroon.

Frustration and becoming depressed even makes their symptoms worse. So we need to be tactful and make them see the need for medical advice rather than making them feel they're close to madness or making them feel they're so bad.” – Dr. Leonard Ngarka  “What are the things we should do to prevent Alzheimer's Dementia?

Over 2  million people lived with dementia in sub-Saharan Africa in 2015 and numbers are projected to nearly double every 20 years, increasing to almost 3.5 million by 2030 and 7.6 million by 2050.*  My late grandfather died of a broken heart, but he also had mild symptoms of Alzheimer's dementia. That was my first encounter with this disease and I remember as a kid, struggling to understand why a grown man will forget things so easily or walk out of the house without knowing where he was headed, and getting lost. I remember most people calling it “Old age” and we were made to understand that it was a right of passage for every old person, and that made me even more scared to get old.  Our community has normalized the ideology of defining people's lives by the disease they are battling - in this case, Alzheimer's Dementia. We tend to easily forget that these were humans - family, friends, etc - behind the disease. So this week, we discuss Alzheimer's Dementia from a caretaker's perspective. We will be having Vivian Ngang (aka Aunty Vivian) discuss her experience while taking care of her lovely mother (Mama Lucy) who battled this disease until her demise. This episode is heavy, emotional, and educational, and sheds more light on how we can help our senior relatives encountering this disease. Hope you learn and pick some key points from this episode – remember to share within your circle. * Data From Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI)   Meet Our Guest : Vivian Ngang is a Registered Nurse with a Doctorate degree in Nursing and a Master's degree in Nursing Science.

Welcome and thank you for listening! Nompumelelo Maponya is an Advanced Midwife and Neonatal Specialist, who is passionate about mother and child care, especially breastfeeding. She is currently a doctoral student enrolled at the University of Johannesburg. Her journey of nursing started at the North West University, Pukke, where she completed her undergraduate Bachelor's degree in Nursing Science (2014). She obtained a Master's degree at the University of Johannesburg, cum laude (2020). Her research mini-dissertation titled ‘Working mothers' experience of adhering to exclusive breastfeeding in the Rustenburg district, North West', showed that women needed an array of interventions as well as support to continue with exclusive breastfeeding after returning to work. She has a vast experience of rendering midwifery and neonatal services, as well as women's sexual reproductive services, in both the government and private sector for the past eight years. She was also a breastmilk donor at Job Shimankana Tabane hospital in Rustenburg. Her research is based on finding innovative ways to assist women in breastfeeding practices in an unfavourable work environment. Breast Milk: How Much Does Baby Need? Never mind fashion, parenting is probably one of the most fad-filled activities in the world – in fact; there are baby-fashion fads! This fickleness can make it tricky when it comes time to make important decisions about things like feeding Baby. How much breast milk should Baby get per day? When should you introduce solids? Getting ‘expert advice' doesn't always help, because it seems to change as often as public opinion! Sister Lilian Centre offers fad-free, tried and tested, and completely baby-friendly advice. Read Between The Lines Anytime you get parenting advice, you should consider whether or not it caters to Baby's needs above all else. Unfortunately, many fads are not based on Baby's welfare. One such fad is that Baby has to drink one litre of milk per day. Let's consider this logically: where are measurements used in feeding? With formula feeding, of course! Breasts don't come with measurements on the side, and there is no way to tell how much milk Baby drinks while breastfeeding – so why should we try to measure it? Formula milk was ‘formulated' by humans based on our perceptions of what babies' nutritional needs are: in order to ensure that Baby gets enough of the nutrients added to formula milk without getting so much that it's bad for her kidneys and digestion, Baby needs one litre of milk per day. Although pretty accurate in terms of formula, this is based on average feeding patterns and doesn't take into account Baby's individuality. The best and most logical approach is to ‘need feed': let Baby feed whenever, and for as long as she wants to – if she's still hungry, she'll definitely let you know! The Magic Of Mama's Milk Let's face it; mother's milk is almost magical! Not only does it have numerous health benefits and every nutrient Baby needs to survive and thrive, it is constantly changing to keep up with Baby's changing needs! We may not understand exactly how, but it's been clinically proven that breast milk is individually suited to each specific baby and adapts to Baby's changing needs using a baby-driven biological feedback system. Although it can reflect Mom's diet, it's almost always ideal for all babies and is nutritionally sound enough to be given exclusively for about six months – even for ‘big' fast-growing babies. How can Formula compare to that? It can't. The reason formula needs to be specially formulated is because it is usually made from cow's milk – and cow's milk is especially designed to meet every nutritional need of a growing calf, not a human baby. Because of this, cow's milk isn't actually suitable for babies and is not easily digested; meaning that Baby misses out on all the benefits unique to breast milk and usually suffers with digestive problems. Shake It Off! Instead of looking to society, rather look to Baby for guidance. Is she happy and healthy? Then you must be doing something right! Don't become discouraged by comparing your Baby and parenting skills to everyone else; all parents and babies are individuals, so raising children involves a lot of individuality! Rather choose to believe in yourself and your Baby – just look at how well she's doing! That's because she has a wonderful mom who cares enough to invest time and effort.

Today I am talking to the incredibly compassionate Nicole Vienneau of Blue Monarch Health. She tells me about being a Registered Nurse and shared her incredible experiences within the world of nursing and fitness. We talked about things happening in our health care system and how she is working hard to close the gap between a hospital nurse who is bound to hospitals' rules and a compassionate nurse that extends a helping hand to those that really need the help. We also talked about how she discovered Nurse Coaching and the potential it has to help prevent and manage chronic illnesses. Today, Nicole and I dive into:- Compassion fatigue and burnout.- Things you can do to prevent or manage chronic illness.- What clinicians can do to connect with patients....and so much more. It was a pleasure and a privilege getting to talk to Nicole for this episode, and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording it. Don't forget to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts.

In this podcast we talk to Dr. Lynnea Myers about her JCPP Advances paper on Behavioural and Biological Divergence in Monozygotic Twin Pairs Discordant for Autism Phenotypes (https://doi.org/10.1111/jcv2.12017). Dr. Myers is an Associate Professor of Nursing at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota. She has a double PhD in Nursing Science and Developmental Neuroscience. There is a dearth of studies examining monozygotic ASD discordant twins, and Lynnea explains why this group is so important for inclusion in research to advance the science into non-shared environmental effects, and explains the implications of the findings for professionals working in child and adolescent mental health.

In this episode, we are privileged to feature the excellent Dr. Nancy Albert, one of the most leading and distinguished nurses in the country. Dr. Albert shares how her work at Cleveland Clinic's Office of Nursing Research and Innovation is driving better practices, broadening outcomes, and improving healthcare delivery. She discusses how Cleveland Clinic is highlighting innovation as part of the foundation of the nurse career, taking someone's passion to drive it forward, and failing fast. Dr. Albert also shares why nurses need a voice in the table, the importance of nurse-led innovations, the transformative power of setbacks, insights on gaining multiple perspectives, having a good mindset, moving forward, and more. Find out more about Dr. Albert and how she was able to drive nursing innovation and practices in this exciting interview. Please tune in!

In this episode, Ian speaks with Dr. Yvette P. Conley, Ph.D., FAAN of University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing about her experience as a human molecular geneticist working in Nursing Science, to untangle the complexities of symptom development and about nursing research using omics techniques more broadly.

In this episode, Greg and Carey discuss what got Carey interested in learning about and utilizing cannabis therapeutically in her own practice and creating an entire program around it. They talk about the human endocannabinoid system and its effects on our health, including ways of modulating the endocannabinoid system without using cannabis. They talk about Carey's presentation on Cannabis Care 101 at the upcoming Pacific Symposium this Fall. You will hear Carey's thoughts on the recreational use and what the literature say about safety, long term effects, and age-related issues, for example, teen use. Finally, we learn about the Pacific College medical cannabis certificate program. - For more information about Pacific College's Medical Cannabis Certification Program visit https://www.pacificcollege.edu/medicalcannabis - Dr Carey Clark will also be speaking at the 2021 Pacific Symposium. Information and registration https://www.pacificcollege.edu/symposium/ About Carey Clark Carey S. Clark, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, serves as Director of Nursing, chair of the Medical Cannabis Certificate Program, and faculty in the Medical Cannabis and Holistic Nursing programs. She is the immediate Past President of the American Cannabis Nurses Association, and has been a nurse since 1994, with a wide practice background including experience within the acute care setting, pediatrics, hospice care, and parish nursing. Her previous position was at the University of Maine at Augusta, where she developed an award winning holistic-integral nursing program for RN-BSN students. Dr. Clark has over 30 publications in journals such as Advances in Nursing Science, International Journal for Human Caring, Holistic Nursing Practice, and Creative Nursing. Dr. Clark has presented at many national and local conferences, particularly with oncology and holistic nurses, where she focuses on bringing basic knowledge about the endocannabinoid system and medicinal use of cannabis. She remains committed to including the endocannabinoid system in every nursing curriculum in the world, as she is the editor of the forthcoming Wolters-Kuhlwer Cannabis Handbook for Nurses (2020). Dr. Clark looks forward to sharing her knowledge with other like-minded nurses as we create change in healthcare systems and support the holistic healing of those we serve.

In this episode, Ian describes some of the better and worse reasons to pursue a PhD in Nursing Science, from his perspective having spent time in a PhD program and working under PhD-prepared investigators at the medical school prior to entering graduate studies. This is a response to a listener question.

In this episode, Ian continues a conversation on the necessary constituents of what comprise Nursing Science as such. A continuation of the previous episode, this time Ian gives such compelling reasons why we ought not consider nurse scientists to merely be researchers who identify as nurses. In the end, the position Ian lands on is that it may indeed be the case that Nursing Science exists, per se, but that it must be founded on theoretical conceptualizations and conceptual models unique to the discipline of nursing, which necessitates a clear definition of Nursing itself.

In this episode, Ian describes some plausible distinctions between nursing and medicine and, thus, nursing science and medical science. Beginning with fundamental definitions and philosophical considerations, he contends that there may in fact be a distinct nursing science paradigm set apart from other disciplines in the sciences, but in order to conclude that we must first generate a consensus definition on what sets apart nursing from medicine in the first place. The construct of a 'nursing science' hinges entirely on the operational definition of what is Nursing, per se. In the end, this is an exceptionally complicated question Ian does not have an answer to, but is working to tease out a panoply of possibly viable interpretations. Enjoy.

“Burns are a lifelong battle,” explains Katie Blanchard, former U.S. Army Nurse Supervisor. In 2016, Katie suffered a brutal attack by a civilian employee, who threw gasoline and matches on her and lit her on fire. Katie sustained burns to 18% of her upper body and has been forced to undergo continued surgeries to combat the scars. And the worst part? Her attacker was tried in a federal court and received a maximum sentence of only 20 years in prison. So while Katie is forced to battle her burns for the rest of her life, the man who caused her injuries can re-enter his life relatively unscathed after only 20 years.  Despite the attack, Katie never allowed herself to become defeated. Instead, she has committed herself to improving the system that failed her. She has earned her Masters in Nurse Education and is now a doctoral candidate at the University of Washington pursuing a PhD in Nursing Science. She has also started her own company, WPV Solutions, which aims to prevent workplace violence before it occurs. When asked what lessons listeners should take away from her experience, Katie explains that we must change how we look at violence in the workplace. Katie's superiors largely ignored her complaints and concerns despite her repeated requests for support and protection prior to the assault. Katie explains that the military disciplinary system lacks continuity and that escalations are often swept under the rug rather than being seriously addressed on a larger scale. While Katie has gained little traction within the Army when it comes to a broader acknowledgment of workplace violence, she hopes to assist other organizations develop stronger safety and support foundations, so their employees feel safe in their work environments. Tune into this week's episode of the Military Woman to learn more about Katie's experiences and the admirable work she is doing to combat workplace violence. You won't want to miss this inspiring story about overcoming past trauma in pursuit of a greater good. Quotes “You believe in an organization and those values that an organization has: duty, selfless service, loyalty. You believe in these things, and you believe that you're doing a greater good, that you're there to do work that is important. When a colonel looks at you and tells you to look the other way and to protect yourself and not to do what you feel is the right thing and the right thing for your patients...it gives you this feeling of hopelessness and a feeling of why am I here.” (14:36-15:09) “This kind of dynamic happens a lot in workplace violence where perpetrators will try to flip the script and make it your problem, not theirs.” (27:09-27:19) “I wanted people to know that I had said something, that I had known that this was going to happen, and there was no action.” (32:31-32:40) “Burns are a lifelong battle….My attacker got 20 years in federal prison, and that was the maximum that he could have gotten….It's a life sentence for me, but it's not for him.” (35:51-36:52) “There needs to be a reporting system in place that we can ask for resources; that we can get a threat assessment team going; that if our chain of command isn't listening, there's some mechanism where we can still get to people to help us stay safe in the workplace.” (38:38-38:56) “What the literature tells us is that a lot of times workplace violence is not active shooter. It is not that kind of extreme violence. A lot of times this risk of violence is very much a spectrum, and it's both verbal and physical….We can very much prevent workplace violence from happening if we have the right tools to do it.” (43:12-43:35) Links https://wpvsolutions.org/ wpvsolutions@gmail.com   Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing

Welcome and thank you for listening! One of the biggest threads for exclusive breastfeeding up till six months, is the fact that women need to go back to work. In this episode Dr Margreet Wibbelink talks with Refilwe Nompumelelo Maponya, Midwife Specialist, researcher and working mother, around breastfeeding as a working mom (and midwife). She holds a Bachelor's degree in Nursing Science which she completed at North West University Potchefstroom campus in 2014 and Masters Degree in Advanced Midwife and Neonatal nursing from University of Johannesburg which she received Cum laude in 2020 respectively. Her clinical nursing and Midwifery career spans from over seven years from Professional nurse General to Advanced Midwifery Specialist with both private and public midwifery care experience. Her research niche and interest is Breastfeeding which she investigated and captured the findings in her Mini Dissertation entitled ‘Working mothers experience of adhering to exclusive breastfeeding in the Rustenburg district, North West. Her research was motivated by her observation that in the 21st century, the work environment and its structures were still unfavourable for the breastfeeding employee. Being a new mother herself, she gained firsthand experience of challenges of juggling both work and breastfeeding, which further motivated her decision to become a breast milk donor at Job Shimankana Tabane hospital in Rustenburg.

Valeria interviews Janice Bell Meisenhelder the author of Surviving the Unthinkable: The Loss of a Child. “Trust your instincts. Your inner voice will guide you with each step that is right for you.” For a bereaved mother, grief never ends. We always miss our children's earthly presence. We always carry them in our heart. We always long to talk to them. Our yearning for our child gradually becomes one theme among several in our lives rather than our predominant tune. Over many years, our honoring moves from distressing mourning to a cherishing and treasuring of their lives. Our grief becomes mixed with gratitude for every minute and memory as we move from agonizing lamentation of the loss to a combination of sadness and bittersweet celebration of the life and gift of this child. Our continued honoring, talking, and remembering are all forms of celebrating this precious life and staying connected with our children. At some point, many mothers look back and realize that they have grown through all the trauma and loss. Their hearts did indeed enlarge. Their compassion is more encompassing, their self-knowledge more in-depth. Such personal growth in no way justifies our tragic loss, but it does equip us to better help others—to allow some redemption to spring from the devastation of loss. As you use your compassion to help others, so do you continue to celebrate the life of your child. May you find meaning in your journey, companionship along the road, and peace in your life. — writes Janice  Janice Bell Meisenhelder holds a Doctor of Nursing Science from Boston University. Her clinical nursing practice was at Massachusetts General Hospital in adult intensive care and oncology. She is currently a Professor of nursing at Emmanuel College in Boston, Massachusetts.  Dr. Meisenhelder has published thirty-five articles as first author in professional, scholarly journals, the majority of which are original research. She recently published clinical guidelines for working with bereaved parents in the Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. She is a recent invited speaker at the national conferences of Bereaved Parents USA, The Compassionate Friends, and the Association of Death Education and Counseling, and a featured speaker for Open to Hope website.   To learn more about Janice Bell Meisenhelder and her work please visit: https://www.emmanuel.edu/ For Intro-free episodes: https://www.patreon.com/aquestforwellbeingpodcast Podcast Page: https://fitforjoy.org/podcast

Menopause can be a life-changing experience. Most women believe this chapter in their lives will be a difficult one, filled with emotional challenges and physical changes they don’t want.

This episode features Minna Hökkä (Research Unit of Nursing Science and Health Management, Medical Department, Oulu University, Oulu, Finland). Palliative care is provided across a wide range of healthcare settings, from tertiary hospitals to primary care. It has been recognized that palliative care services should be delivered in at least two or three levels (i.e., palliative care approach, generalist palliative care, specialist palliative care). All healthcare professionals should have the appropriate education and competencies to provide high-quality palliative care. Nurses have an important role in the provision of palliative care in all levels. This systematic integrative review is the first to focus on empirical studies defining the core competencies of palliative care nursing aligned with the different levels of palliative care provision. The results show that both the distinct levels of palliative care provision and corresponding palliative care nursing competencies are rarely defined. Rather than describing which core nursing competencies are the most related to each level of palliative care, previous research has concentrated on identifying the diverse competencies necessary for different specific settings and how they can be categorized in different aspects of nursing (e.g., competencies related to patient–nurse relationship). Nurses with a specialized or advanced nurse practitioner role in palliative care have extended clinical competencies, which include the ability to provide informal education and guidance to colleagues. Nursing competencies in palliative care, especially the ones that are more relevant to each level of palliative care provision, should be better outlined to enhance palliative care development, education and practice. Further research that addresses how nursing competencies differ across the levels of palliative care provision is needed.

Today’s Divine Download’s podcast episode with Registered Nurse, Lane Therrell is divinely timed indeed. Lane’s background is as deep as it is diverse. Her journey is no accident and I absolutely love the driving force behind her why, "Ultimately, I want to live in a world where technology and spirituality are allies for healing." Lane is a fierce nurse and patient advocate and so poignantly blends the role of science and the humanities in her work. She believes NOW is the time for nurses’ voices to be heard, especially in the tech space. Nurses are the pulse of patient care and who better than nurses to play a hand at how care of the human is designed and delivered? Nurses can leverage their expertise to help make artificial intelligence more human and to take some of the load off of the nurse so they can tend to the whole patient. My favorite take away from Lane: "Healing is a process, it’s not a destination, it’s deeply personal, it gets you to this place of transition or transcendence of suffering.” I can’t wait to hear your biggest takeaway from today’s show. Let me know in the comments how you feel nurses can impact care in the tech space. To all the Nurses: From my nurse soul to yours, I bow to you and your journey and I thank you for your service.
