  • Genuine and fun!

    I have really enjoyed listening to Michelle’s podcast. She talks to a wonderful variety of nurses about their lives and careers and it’s very inspiring! This would be a great podcast for nursing students who are discerning their path! But even as a seasoned nurse practitioner, I have enjoyed learning about what other nursing professionals are doing!

  • So much to learn as a nursing student

    This podcast has opened my eyes to so many possibilities as a nursing student. I enjoy the interviews of all of these nurses sharing their experiences in other fields, so many I have never even heard of. I enjoy listening on my walks after my studies. It motivates and pushes me to keep going with my studies.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Patient to Professional: Nicholas Kelly on Advocacy and Connection
Q: What should someone do when they feel like their concerns are not being heard?
Kelly suggests seeking another clinician if needed, approaching conversations in different ways, and asking other members of the care team, such as a social worker or nurse practitioner, for help.
From Patient to Professional: Nicholas Kelly on Advocacy and Connection
Q: Was your decision to become a dietitian influenced by your own experience with cystic fibrosis and nutrition?
Kelly says it was not. He changed from computer technology to dietetics after taking a nutrition class with his twin sister and becoming fascinated by the subject.
The Care Nobody Plans For: What Healthcare Professionals Need to Understand About Long-Term Care, with Raymond Lavine
Q: What have you come to believe about how we take care of one another?
Strong relationships and planning are essential; if you have a good family dynamic or a partner, care is more manageable, but without planning and a clear caregiver, you can't do it well; preparation reduces fear and preserves dignity.
The Care Nobody Plans For: What Healthcare Professionals Need to Understand About Long-Term Care, with Raymond Lavine
Q: Raymond, why is that conversation about caregiving so difficult?
caregiving conversations are difficult because caregiving is often invisible until it's necessary; people don't plan, underestimate costs, and may not realize the impact on family members who become caregivers themselves.
The Care Nobody Plans For: What Healthcare Professionals Need to Understand About Long-Term Care, with Raymond Lavine
Q: So Raymond, from your perspective, what are we, as healthcare professionals, not seeing?
It's not what you don't see, it's the process; there's a systematic discharge workflow, and you need an advocate who can manage the information, converse with the patient, and ensure the home environment supports safe transition and ongoing care.
