- 111. Balancing Life and Death and Nursing Science
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.
38 min - 110. Dr. Carrie-Ellen Briere on biomarker research in nursing: The benefits and components of human breastmilk
Dr. Briere's recent publication can be read, here: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/16/3/362
55 min - 109. Philosophical laziness and problems of replicationDon't become an evangelist for Capital S- Science. Instead, be open to the idea that you may not know what you think you know based on singular studies that have never been replicated, and may have results which actually fail the false discovery test.57 min
- 108. Practice-changing clinical research is rare
How often should you expect the clinical research in your field to change your practice? If we assume Price's Law holds in health research regarding the validity of non-Null findings, we should expect a small fraction of published research to provide 'true' results. And amongst them, a smaller and smaller number will harbor all the 'large' effects.
43 min - 107. Dr. Jacqueline Nikpour on expanding RN practice in Primary Care
Jackie Nikpour joins the podcast to discuss her crucial work in the space of primary healthcare and share her thoughts on what it means for RNs to work at the top of their license in primary healthcare in the U.S.
58 min - 106. Dr. Pamela Grace on Nursing Ethics
Dr. Pamela J. Grace joins the podcast for an episode dedicated to a discussion about how nurses can 'do right' by their patients.
58 min - 105. Don’t mistake experience for truthDon't devalue new nurses' experiences and assume that, just because you've been in practice a long time it means your practice patterns are based on truisms. The way you've learned to do something and the fact that it's 'worked for you,' doesn't mean it's inherently true. Oftentimes, when studied, we learn what we thought we knew was true... isn't.38 min
- 104. Scientific evidence trumps medical eminence
The burden of proof to demonstrate efficacy of biomedical tools (namely, drugs or surgery) is on biomedical scientists and physician-investigators. We are too quick, as a society, to assume their science is particularly good, just because it's popular, they're confident in what they do, and what they do appears impressive. Eminence is trumped by evidence every time, and some things that were hitherto dearly held beliefs by medical scientists as true have been crumbling down around them over the last fifteen years. Some biomedical findings are true and stand the test of time. Most don't.
34 min - 103. The unique canvas of nursing practice
It is easier to differentiate nursing from other health disciplines when you realize that the framework from which you're practicing not only implies unique processes but leads to distinct, if overlapping, outcomes, and that it's not all about tactics and techniques. Techniques and tactics, while similar, are grounded and applied from distinct frameworks of knowing and unique strategies, in service of often different goals.
39 min - 102. A hat tip to my NP colleaguesI've recently made the case that I don't believe the NP is practicing nursing anymore, but that they're now medical providers. This is my attempt to buttress the opposing argument, rather that they are simply extending nursing thinking into a legislatively expansive domain of care provision.42 min
