On episode 472 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith welcomes back filmmaker Carolyn Jones and documentary producer Lisa Frank to discuss their latest film, American Delivery, which is already winning awards on the 2024 film festival circuit, including the Roxanne T. Mueller Audience Choice Award for Best Film, the top honor at the Cleveland International Film Festival.
In the course of their conversation, Keith and his guests discuss American Delivery, the maternal mortality crisis we currently face in the United States, and nurses' role in turning that statistic around.
Carolyn Jones is an award-winning photographer and filmmaker who specializes in telling stories that shed light on issues of global concern. From people “living positively” with AIDS to women artists supporting entire communities and nurses on the front lines of our healthcare system, Jones has devoted her career to celebrating invisible populations and breaking down barriers. Her most widely acclaimed book publications include Living Proof: Courage in the Face of AIDS and The American Nurse, which led to a feature documentary. Her award-winning documentary Defining Hope, which was the culmination of a journey investigating how we can make better end-of-life choices, was broadcast over 1,000 times on PBS stations nationwide.
Carolyn’s documentary In Case of Emergency, focuses on our nation’s biggest public health challenges—from COVID-19 to a lack of health insurance to the devastating impact of the opioid crisis. Carolyn has just completed a new documentary film American Delivery that examines the maternal mortality and morbidity crisis, and the solutions that can move the needle on improving those outcomes.
As a documentary producer, Lisa Frank is dedicated to finding and developing great stories, guiding projects from inception through outreach and engagement. She has spent the last fifteen years in collaboration with Carolyn Jones to produce the book, film, and website that comprise The American Nurse Project, as well as the feature documentary Defining Hope, which was broadcast on PBS stations nationwide; In Case of Emergency, awarded the Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary at the United Nations Association Film Festival, and most recently American Delivery.
As Director of Programs and Production for the 100 People Foundation, Lisa oversees the planning, execution, and delivery of groundbreaking creative projects and educational tools on global issues for students worldwide. Lisa is Baltimore-bred and Brooklyn-based, and she holds a B.S. in Speech from Northwestern University.

How Can We Recover and Thrive After a Stroke?

On episode 468 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Annie Fulton, BSN, RN, PCCN.
Annie is a nurse and podcaster who is an avowed believer in the potential for nurses to use strategic content creation as an avenue to manifest a bold new career direction, create a robust and satisfying side hustle, or empower their current clinical practice and career mobility.
One of the points Annie makes during the interview is that her educational podcast for nurses directly contributed to her employer giving her a promotion to Clinical Nurse III (and a significant raise) since they considered every episode an official publication.
Annie has been a nurse since 2014 with experience in medical-oncology, emergency, and intermediate care units. She believes that if she still has questions nine years out into her career, other nurses do, too. She uses her podcast as a safe environment to address common nursing questions and pitfalls.
Annie is also a wife and proud mother of a wonderfully silly seven-year-old boy. In her free time she enjoys traveling, working out, reading, and cooking.
