Just Some Podcast for Advanced Practitioners

In this episode, we continue the discussion about education and focus more on nurse practitioner education. We discuss experience prior to starting NP school and some of the shift to a large number of NP students. We also discuss social media and crowd sourcing a diagnosis as well as getting out of the mindset of "Us vs. Them" in regards to physicians. We thank Jeff for his opinions and continuing our discussion on these matters.

In our SYMHM, we look at injecting cancer cells with vaccines and the effect that studies are showing it has on them.

In this episode, the guys welcome Jeff back to the show and get deep into the discussion of one of our most talked about episodes, the education episodes.

We also explore if workplace violence, lateral violence, and nurse bullying and hazing should be incorporated into the common curriculum of nursing schools. They guys also opine about testing in nursing school and teaching to pass boards versus teaching to take care of patients.

In this episode filled with holiday cheer, Ben & Tom medically review the Christmas Classic movie, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. They discuss the ins and outs of the types of injuries that are seen throughout the movie and perhaps unknowingly unlock some secrets of the movie. You may never watch this movie the same way again. Sit back, sip some eggnog, and try not to lose your cool screaming "Holy S$%#, Where's the Tylenol?"

In the SYMHM, the guys discuss DNA evidence and chimeras and how a bone marrow transplant has altered one man's DNA.

In this episode, Ben & Tom look at some of the more comment holiday myths that are out there and look for the science behind them while proving or debunking them. Turkeys, Poinsettias, and hangover cures are discussed in this episode where we get to enjoy some laughs.

Before the laughs however, in the SYMHM, the guys discuss at length Ohio HB 413 and the ramifications it could have on healthcare providers and imaginary procedures. If you'd like to contact the sponsors of this bill and explain that they are asking for something that is not humanly possible here is there contact information. Needless to say, this one... gets Tom a little fired up.

In the first episode from the Icon Series, Tom & Ben interview a household name in the nursing and nurse practitioner world, Dr. Margaret Fitzgerald. She is the president and founder of FHEA and the gold standard for board review courses for NPs.

They discuss her early career, how she developed her board review course, and where she sees it going in the future. They also play their final segment, 5 Questions, with her as a way to delve into the person behind the Fitzgerald Review Courses.

It was an interesting and fun interview at someone who is truly an Icon in Nursing.

In Episode 53, Tom & Ben welcome Lana to the show. Lana is a nurse practitioner with a story to tell. Despite doing everything right and getting her mammograms and exams done, she developed breast cancer. Hear her story in her own words as she going from being a statistic to a fighter to a survivor. We talk about her diagnosis, treatment, and the saddening realizations in the aftermath that she's overcoming.

In our "Story You May Have Missed" we talk about finding cancer at an unlikely place, a tourist attraction.

We hope this episode inspires men and women to look for the signs and take the actions if something is discovered.

In Episode 52, Ben & Tom discuss action and inaction of of advanced practice providers in regards to legislative awareness. We talk about your local state legislators and how you go about establishing that vital contact and how you can be an important education piece for them as well. We wrap up the episode discussing Full Practice Authority and our opinions of that as well as some of the commons myths that are out there in regards to full practice for nurse practitioners.

In our SYMHM, we keep with the legislative theme and look at the birth of some potential future changes that could impact providers.
