Summary
 On a daily basis, we trust nurses with billions of dollars of equipment, critical procedures, and our most important assets: the people we love. But they're doing so much more behind the scenes. SEE YOU NOW is a podcast that shines a light on the real people changing the status quo in health: from nurses working in labor & delivery, with infectious diseases, and in hospice; to nurse allies in politics, business, and tech. Created in collaboration with Johnson & Johnson and the American Nurses Association, SEE YOU NOW gives listeners access to meaningful conversations with the nurses at the forefront of healthcare and innovation; those developing new devices, processes, protocols, and ways to treat for infection prevention, infant health, maternal mortality, palliative care, and so much more.2019 Hygiene & Healthy Living Social Sciences

    Episode 137: First Signals: Nurse Intelligence on the Frontline of Ebola
    Oct 27 2026
    Nurses are often the first to detect a health threat. Closest to patients, communities, and emerging risks, they hear what is said, notice what is not said, and recognize, contain, and respond to the earliest signals of an outbreak. Their frontline intelligence can help identify threats, strengthen preparedness, and reveal both where health systems and processes fail and how to improve them. Protecting nurses also means protecting the knowledge that keeps communities safe. In this episode, guest host Susan Michaels-Strasser, PhD, MPH, RN, FAAN, of ICAP at Columbia University talks with Amanda McClelland, RN, MPH, MBA, chief program officer at Resolve to Save Lives, and Trish Newport, RN, MPH, Program Manager Emergency Operations, Doctors Without Borders, about turning frontline knowledge into system-wide change. The 2026 Ebola outbreak in the DRC offers a powerful example of what is at stake: some nurses there are confident that they can work to contain the virus, while others avoid even naming the disease because doing so puts their lives and their clinics at risk. The guests make the case that protecting health workers is a systems responsibility, from water and supplies to safe triage and clear escalation criteria, and not only a matter of individual training. "If nurses identify cases, notify them quickly, protect themselves and protect their facilities," Amanda says, "we stop outbreaks before they even start." These lessons apply well beyond the DRC; as Amanda points out, the same scenario could unfold in a triage unit in Texas. The guests also discuss learning from outbreaks that were stopped early, nurse-led innovations such as MSF's ventilated Smart PPE and redesigned workflows, and how nursing associations and leaders can give nurses a platform to speak up.

  • Episode 136: Expanding Access to Primary Care: Nurse Practitioners

    Episode 136: Expanding Access to Primary Care: Nurse Practitioners
    Oct 2 2026
    Primary care is getting harder to access. More than 100 million Americans lack a usual source of primary care because of provider shortages where they live. And the problem isn't confined to rural areas. Massachusetts has more physicians per person than any other state, yet in a 2025 survey of 15 large metro areas, new patients in Boston waited longer for an appointment than in any other city surveyed. Nurse practitioners are already filling that gap. There are now more than 461,000 licensed NPs in the United States, delivering nearly a billion patient visits a year, and they tend to live and work in the communities that other providers have never ventured into. What many of them lack is the infrastructure to open and sustain a practice of their own: billing, insurance contracts, technology, and data. In this episode, guest host Dr. Wendy L. Wright, a family nurse practitioner who owns her own clinic in Amherst, New Hampshire, talks with three colleagues from Duet, a company built around NP practice owners that brings nurse practitioners together with entrepreneurs, investors, and business operators. They discuss why this moment matters, what makes ownership possible, what changes when nurse practitioners get credit for the care they already deliver, and where an NP might begin when starting their own clinic.

  • Episode 135: AI in Play | Aging's Leading Edge

    Episode 135: AI in Play | Aging's Leading Edge
    Aug 31 2026
    By 2030, one in five Americans will be 65 or older, and by 2034, older adults will outnumber children for the first time in U.S. history. About three in four adults over 50 want to age in their communities, in their homes, with their family and friends. That shift brings real challenges. How do you keep older adults safe at home when they face cognitive decline or balance problems? How do you build and sustain community in long-term care facilities, especially when they are short-staffed and money is tight? How do you know which technologies are worth investing in for aging parents, ones that are effective and safe without adding stress? As we work out which questions to ask and how to answer them, more companies and health care systems are turning to nurses. That makes sense. Nurses are uniquely positioned to lead and innovate in long-term care. Through both personal and professional experience, they sit closest to the gaps in care and the daily challenges. They are also closest to patients, so they know what will work and how. And they are building the technology and designing the solutions that foster human connection and help people of all ages thrive. In this episode, we meet three nurses building that future. Cami Peterson-DeVries, DHA, AGNP, LNHA, MSN, VP of Senior Services at St. Francis Health Services of Morris, is bringing robots and smart-room technology to her 14 nursing homes. Roschelle "Shelly" Fritz, Ph.D., R.N., F.A.A.N., develops nurse-driven AI and smart homes for aging in place. Shu-Fen Wung, Ph.D., M.S., R.N., A.C.N.P.-B.C., F.A.A.N., studies wearable and radar sensors for fall detection and responsible AI. Together, they show a wide-open, nurse-shaped frontier where technology extends human connection at every touchpoint. Learn more about See You Now.
