    Health is personal. Healthcare is complicated. And sometimes you just need someone to help you make sense of it all.

    Ask Nurse Alice is where we talk about the health issues that actually affect your life, from the latest medical news and changing healthcare policies to prevention, medications, mental health, relationships, aging, caregiving, and the everyday choices that influence how you feel.

    Each week, Nurse Alice breaks down what’s happening in health and healthcare in a way that’s clear, relatable, and useful. What does that new study really mean for you? Should you be concerned about the health story everyone is talking about? What questions should you be asking at your next appointment? And how do you take better care of yourself when work, family, and life keep competing for your attention?

    You’ll hear candid conversations with experts, newsmakers, and celebrity guests, along with personal conversations about the parts of health we don’t always talk about enough. Nothing is off the table when it comes to helping you better understand your body, your health and the healthcare system you depend on.

    Some episodes will teach you something. Some will make you rethink something. Others may simply remind you that taking care of yourself deserves a place on your to-do list, too.

    Real talk. Real health. Real life.

    How To Get Into Politics as A Nurse (with Kimberly Gordon of Healing Politics) Mar 29, 2023
    Show notes

    Are you tired of nursing practice and policy being dictated by non-nurses? And I mean, without nursing input or not enough input from nurses? How can we, as nurses, make our voices heard and become drivers on important issues that impact us and the work we do? While rallying together and voting is important, the truth is we also need nurses to run for office and be strategically placed in leadership positions and in politics to drive the agenda and propositions. But I didn't get that type of training in nursing school, so how do you prepare for that?

    In this episode, Nurse Alice speaks with Kimberly Gordon, co-founder of Healing Politics, an educational, non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)3 organization. They are on a mission to inspire, motivate, recruit, & train nurses & midwives to run for elected office up & down the ballot while building a culture of civic engagement within the professions.

    6 Tips To Manage Anger at Work as a Nurse Mar 21, 2023
    Show notes

    You walk into work and hit the floor running. It's one big emergency after another. You can't catch a break and it feels like nothing is going right. You're PISSED! But who are you mad at? And what for? And did you take it out on anyone? You may not realize it, but you just may be displacing anger towards others and things that aren't the cause of your frustrations. As professionals who work in high acuity situations and with different personalities, it's key that we learn to identify when we're upset or angry, why, and how to deal with it in a healthy way, so our patients, the care we provide, and our own mental & physical health aren't negatively impacted.
    In this episode, Nurse Alice shares six tips on how to identify when you're feeling frustration or anger, how to identify the cause, and how to manage (prevent) displaced anger.

    Show notes

    How many times has a friend or family member asked you as a nurse to provide your opinion on a skin rash or ask advice about a medical condition or medication? While the caregiver in you is usually happy to be of assistance because you've done tons of patient education at work, what about when you're NOT at work? Did you know that could possibly ruin a good family or friendly relationship by causing unnecessary worry or giving erroneous advice that could lead to missed care or a lawsuit, especially if it's deemed that you're operating out of your scope of practice?

    In this episode Nurse Alice offers advice on how to juggle being a helpful and well intended off duty nurse and friend/family to someone who is asking for medical advice so you avoid any personal and professional trouble.

    Hard Lessons I've Learned as a Nurse News Reporter - advice Feb 28, 2023
    Show notes

    Becoming a long-time TV medical contributor as a nurse wasn’t easy. In fact, I learned a lot of hard lessons along the way that I’m so eager to share and wish someone had told me.
    With the growing number of news stories about nurses recently, it appears that more and more negative stories are emerging. As the largest segment of the healthcare workforce and with the power of social media, nurses have the power to educate, empower, do damage control, and change the narrative.
    With sound bites and clickbait, and the desire to be the first to report on a topic - without doing thorough research, talking to participants, fact-checking, and presenting a well-rounded objective story - the possibility of getting the story wrong is very possible and can be damaging to the nurse and the nursing profession.

    In this episode Nurse Alice talks about the nurse's growing role in the media and shares some tips on how nurses can protect themselves, the credibility of the profession, and educate their viewership. She also provides different story angles that people can use to help tell the same story from different lenses and to be well-rounded in educating the public, meeting the interest of different segments of the public, and prolonging the story's longevity of interest.
