Welcome to the Show

Good day and welcome to this week’s episode of the Nursing Show podcast for nurses, by nurses. I’m your host Jamie Davis and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for checking out the show this week. First up, in this week’s nursing news items, we’ll look at how many different ways nurses influence change in health care across various settings. That article is from a post by my friend Elizabeth Scala for her Art of Nursing program she runs each year for Nurses Week.

Then I interview ER nurse Nancy Martineau and her husband Tony, a deputy U.S. Marshal and paramedic, about their excellent post-apocalyptic novel Post Grid. Learn how they applied their medical experiences to this book and what their plans are for the sequel in the interview. We’ll have that and more later in this episode after the news.

If you want to get back in touch with me, please drop me an email. You can send those e-mails in to [email protected]. I love to hear from you and I make sure I respond back to every email that comes in. Send me links to news items you’d like me to cover, interview suggestions with you or somebody you know.
