Nurse Podcasts

The 2024 annual report from the Commonwealth Fund describes in detail that Americans face greater barriers to accessing and affording healthcare than those in peer nations. Now, nurses are overcoming those barriers to access through a new, growing medium: podcasting. In our Power of Podcast series, we explore how nurses are taking their expertise to the airwaves to share evidence-based care solutions, offering patients and the public vital, practical, and trusted information while also providing healthcare colleagues tools to improve education and care delivery.  Through podcasting, nurses are bridging gaps in education, care availability, and professional development, fostering better health outcomes and stronger communities.   In the second episode of our three-part series, critical care nurse practitioner Kali Dayton DNP, AGACNP shares how her podcast Walking Home from the ICU is mission-critical to improving ICU care and preventing the physical and cognitive impacts of long-term sedation and immobility by following the ABCDEF Bundle and keeping ICU patients awake, communicative, mobile, and autonomous and their families engaged and participating in care. Walking Home from the ICU dives into research from experts, experiences of survivors, and evidence-based practices of critical care teams to ensure that research is accessible, applicable, and practical for ICU clinicians so patients can indeed walk home from the ICU and return fully to their lives!   Find this episode’s resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and information on the podcast bundles visit ANA’s Innovation Website at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.
