Acerca de esta escucha

 In this show, Maureen Osuna, MSN, RN (Nurse Mo) breaks down a wide range of nursing school concepts so they’re easy to understand. Each episode aims to help nursing students improve their study techniques, pass nursing school exams, and feel more confident in clinical. If you’re nervous about nursing school, not “getting it” in lecture, or feeling overwhelmed with all the information you have to learn, this podcast will help you optimize your study time so you can learn more with less stress. While nursing school is challenging, it doesn’t have to be impossible. When concepts are explained in a way that “just makes sense”, nursing students have better recall on exams, feel more confident working with patients in clinical, and are better prepared for NCLEX. Nurse Mo understands the struggles nursing students face and draws on more than 11 years of clinical experience to make nursing school less intimidating. Each episode removes the “fluff” and focuses on the key things a nursing student (and nurse) needs to know about a variety of disease conditions. The show also provides tips for succeeding in nursing school, guidance for students and new nurses, and insider information to help you excel at the bedside.2021-2024 Enfermedades Físicas Hygiene & Healthy Living

    #415: MPN Insights - A Nurse’s and Patient’s Perspective
    Jun 10 2025
    This week’s episode is incredibly close to my heart, and not the usual type of episode I share since this is largely a story about me. Just a few months after becoming a nurse, I was diagnosed with a rare bone marrow disorder known as a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). Since then, I’ve shared bits of that journey here and there, but today, I’m going deeper with a very special guest: Becca Claassen, an oncology nurse with InCyte and a fellow MPN warrior. Together, Becca and I explore what it’s like to live with an MPN and what nurses need to know to better care for patients with this chronic condition. Whether you’ve never heard of MPNs or you care for oncology patients regularly, this episode offers a powerful blend of clinical insight and personal experience. In this episode, you’ll learn: What an MPN (myeloproliferative neoplasm) is and why it’s so complex Common types of MPNs and how they affect the body Symptoms patients may experience How to be a more empathetic and informed nurse when caring for someone with a rare chronic illness Our personal stories of diagnosis, treatment, and day-to-day life with an MPN This isn’t just a clinical overview. It’s a conversation between two nurses who are also patients. I hope it helps you walk away with a better understanding of what your patients might be going through, both physically and emotionally. __________________________ ⁠Voices of MPN Mobile Tracker App⁠ - Share this tool with your MPN patients so they can track their symptoms and have more meaningful conversations with their care team. 💕Did you love this episode?

I started listening to the Straight A Nursing podcast immediately after I was accepted into nursing school. I listened to old episodes all summer and I was HOOKED. I strongly believe that Nurse Mo helped me be as successful as I was! I just found out today that I passed NCLEX on my first try and I can’t help but think that the foundation built before starting hectic nursing school came from Nurse Mo’s podcasts. 10/10 recommend these podcasts! Thank you so much for creating such awesome content!
