Cultural Competence in Hospice Nursing

SUMMARY:
In hospice, small cultural missteps can become big barriers to trust, comfort, and dignified end-of-life care. This 60-minute episode explores practical, team-based strategies for providing culturally responsive hospice care—such as recognizing patient cues, asking the right questions about beliefs and decision-making, customizing care plans, and ensuring language access and rituals align with symptom management. We’ll review real-world cases, communication scripts, and system-level actions that help teams appreciate diversity, self-assess, adapt, and embed cultural understanding into daily practice.

The Full Scope of Nurses' Work at the Bedside

SUMMARY:
This episode unpacks what bedside nurses actually do—and why so much of that high‑stakes, outcomes‑driving work is invisible in traditional hospital metrics. Using Carr and Vollman’s “The Full Scope of Nurses’ Work in Hospitals” as our springboard, we explore nurse surveillance, anticipatory prevention, care coordination, and the cognitive, emotional, and technical work that underpins safer care—plus how to measure it and support it in practice. Reference points include landmark staffing-outcomes research and documentation burden evidence that shape daily bedside reality.

Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy and Psychiatric Nursing

SUMMARY:
Psychedelic therapies are moving from headlines to care pathways. Ketamine and esketamine already have defined clinical footprints, and psilocybin is advancing in late-phase trials. This episode equips nurses with a pragmatic playbook: how to screen, prep, administer, and monitor patients safely; what to watch for physiologically and psychologically; and where regulations and ethics shape day‑to‑day practice.
