On the Pulse Podcast Johns Hopkins Nursing Magazine

In this episode, Dr. Cynda Rushton and guest, Lucas Welch, discuss the Slow Talk platform. Slow Talk is a place for front-line workers to engage with peers in candid real-time conversations about vital topics that need to be discussed openly & safely.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Noelene K. Jeffers, Assistant Professor and Certified Nurse Midwife, to discuss her work addressing the Black Maternal Health Crisis. Dr. Jeffers examines the structural and social determinants of Black maternal and perinatal health and currently leads studies to integrate community-based doulas into the health care setting.

In recognition of Women's History Month, we’re discussing chronic pain and pain management in older women. Chronic pain is something that many older adults deal with, particularly women and people of color. Guest Janiece Taylor, PhD, RN, FAAN, Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, dedicates her research to addressing the social determinants of health that lead to these disparities.
Dr. Taylor discusses the driving force for her research and the interventions she is developing to improve the quality of life and health outcomes for those living with chronic pain in Baltimore, and beyond.

While nursing is one of the most rewarding professions, it is also one of the most challenging, which can lead nurses to feel underappreciated and resentful. Practicing meaningful recognition in the workplace creates a greater sense of fulfillment, retention, and resilience. Guest Dr. Cynthia Sweeney, Vice President Emeritus for Nursing at the DAISY Foundation, and Dr. Cynda Rushton talk about it in the latest episode of the Resilient Nurse podcast.
The Resilient Nurse is a special series within the On the Pulse podcast. This podcast discusses the complexities, misconceptions, and pathways toward keeping a resilient workforce; and shares tools and practices nurses can use to renew and amplify their resilience.

Nurse practitioners are the fastest growing occupation in the U.S., and will be for the next decade. 
They represent the highest median salary among the other top 10 fastest-growing professions, and are in such high demand in part because of the shortage of physicians and the aging baby boomer population. Nurse practitioners are able to fill many gaps in care, like mental health and primary care, and also represent a very accessible health care career path. 
Host Tamar Rodney is a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and today’s guest, Danielle McCamey, is an acute care nurse practitioner. Dr. McCamey is the Assistant Dean for Strategic Partnerships at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, as well as the founder of DNPs of Color, a networking, mentorship, and advocacy organization for DNP-prepared nurses of color. 
Listen as they dig into all the best things about the profession, and since it’s also black history month, into how the profession uniquely serves multicultural communities as well.

Burnout is pervasive today, not just among nurses but among health care executives as well. Guest Liz Boehm, executive strategist at Stryker, and Dr. Cynda Rushton talk about it in the latest episode of the Resilient Nurse podcast.
