At this time, about 11% of the population in the U.S. has diabetes. This represents nearly 40 million people. And this number is increasing, not only in the U.S. but around the world. Although we have more medical options now than ever before for managing diabetes, the treatment is less than optimal. Another option is a pancreas transplant. What’s the status of pancreatic transplantation? Who’s a candidate for the procedure? How effective is it and what does the future hold for the procedure? The topic for this podcast is “Pancreas Transplantation” and I’ll be discussing these questions with Nitin N. Katariya, M.D., a transplant surgeon and Lavanya Kodali, M.B.B.S., M.D., a nephrologist and specialist in renal transplant, both from the Arizona campus of the Mayo Clinic.

Burnout is still very real in healthcare, and many nurses are carrying trauma from the pandemic — whether they realize it or not.
In this episode, I sit down with Keith Carlson, nurse career coach and host of The Nurse Keith Show, to talk about how burnout shows up today, how to begin healing, and what support looks like — whether through coaching, therapy, or small moments of joy.
Keith shares his personal experience with burnout and how his late wife helped him take the first step toward change. We also talk about how to assess what’s within your control, when it’s okay to walk away, and how something as simple as a “glimmer list” can help you reconnect to what matters.
Tune in for honest insight, practical strategies, and the reminder that healing is possible — one step at a time.

When the stakes are high and the pressure’s on, how do nurses turn obstacles into opportunities for change? From ethical dilemmas to liability issues, we'll discuss how nurses navigate the complex world of healthcare law. Tune in to hear how advocacy and innovation are reshaping the future of nursing!
In this episode of Nurse Rosa's INsights, host Rosa Hart welcomes Maggie Ortiz and Radonda Vaught for an insightful discussion about the power of advocacy, innovation, and leveraging the collective voice of nurses. This conversation highlights how engaging with nursing associations empowers individual nurses to amplify their voices and drive positive change within the healthcare system.
A central theme of the episode is the impact of Kentucky House Bill 159—the first law in the nation to protect nurses and healthcare workers from criminal punishment for making honest mistakes while providing care. This landmark legislation arose after Radonda Vaught’s 2022 conviction following a medication error, a case that shook the nursing community.
Maggie and Radonda share how this bill represents a significant victory for nursing advocacy and why staying engaged with policy changes is crucial to protecting the profession.
Nursing associations play a pivotal role in advocating for nurses' rights and safety. By joining these organizations, nurses gain access to essential resources, legal support, and the power of a united voice. Unlike boards of nursing, which focus on regulating practice and discipline to protect patients, nursing associations actively support and uplift nurses, pushing for legislation that protects their well-being and professional autonomy.
Social media has emerged as a powerful tool for advocacy, particularly for younger nurses. Engaging on platforms like Instagram and TikTok not only connects nurses nationwide but also spreads awareness of key issues and fosters community support. Maggie and Radonda discuss how social media can help mobilize the next generation of nurses to get involved and make their voices heard.
Understanding legislative impact is essential, as laws and policies directly shape nursing practice and patient safety. Advocacy doesn’t just happen in the boardroom—it happens when nurses come together to demand change. The passage of Kentucky House Bill 159 shows that persistent efforts can make a real difference, and staying informed about legislative developments is vital to protecting both patients and practitioners.
Advocacy efforts aren’t just about protecting the profession—they’re about investing in the future of nursing. Whether you’re advocating through a professional association, engaging in social media campaigns, or speaking up at the state legislature, every effort counts. By working together and amplifying the nursing voice, we can shape a healthcare system that truly values and supports its frontline workers.
