SEE YOU NOW

Johnson & Johnson and the American Nurses Association

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.

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

    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.

    Insight 30: A Nurse's Case for Decarbonizing Healthcare

    Healthcare's carbon footprint is buried in supply chains that no single hospital can fix alone. In this Insight from Episode 104: Practicing Green Health, Jessica Wolff, a women's health nurse practitioner and leader in healthcare sustainability, argues that the sector's healing mission is exactly why it cannot treat decarbonization as separate from health equity and access, and explains what to do about it.  To listen to this Insight clip's full episode, visit the SEE YOU NOW Podcast Episode 104: Practicing Green Health on APPLE, SPOTIFY, YOUTUBE, or your favorite streaming platform.  Learn more about See You Now.

    Insight 29: Greener Health Systems: Where to Start

    Providence was the first health system in the United States to commit to becoming carbon negative by 2030, a goal that spans 51 hospitals, more than 1,000 clinics, and 120,000 caregivers across seven western states. In this Insight from Episode 104: Practicing Green Health, Beth Schenk, PhD, RN, FAAN, Chief Environmental Stewardship Officer at Providence, explains what it takes to make an operational rather than just aspirational commitment. She describes the WE ACT framework and scorecard that allows Providence to track resource use, cost, and carbon emissions month by month across every hospital, and explains her practical answer to the question she hears most from other hospitals: where to begin.   To listen to this Insight clip's full episode, visit the SEE YOU NOW Podcast Episode 104: Practicing Green Health on APPLE, SPOTIFY, YOUTUBE, or your favorite streaming platform.  Learn more about See You Now.

    Insight 28: A Nurse's Guide to Healthcare Sustainability

    The NHS became the world's first health system to commit to reaching net zero emissions in October 2020. But bold national commitments only become reality through the people doing the work at the point of care. In this Insight from Episode 104: Practicing Green Health, Emma Pascale Blakey, PhD, RN, Nurse Lead for Sustainability at NHS England, makes the case that nurses and midwives have a valuable perspective as researchers and scientists in this equation, and they are an invaluable resource when it comes to sustainability solutions. From drones delivering chemotherapy to the Isle of Wight, to health visitors cycling between family visits, to clinical procurement nurses influencing what equipment gets ordered, nurses are leading the way when it comes to sustainability.   To listen to this Insight clip's full episode, visit the SEE YOU NOW Podcast Episode 104: Practicing Green Health on APPLE, SPOTIFY, YOUTUBE, or your favorite streaming platform.   Learn more about See You Now.

    Insight 27: Nurse-led Strategies for Greener Health Systems

    If the healthcare sector were a country, it would be the fifth largest carbon emitter on the planet. Yet sustainability remains one of the most underdeveloped strategies in healthcare leadership. In this Insight from Episode 104: Practicing Green Health, Shanda Demorest, DNP, RN, PHN, formerly the Senior Director of Network Experience & Solutions at Practice Greenhealth, makes the case that embedding sustainability into healthcare operations and culture is not a separate agenda; it is a patient safety, health equity, and workforce issue all at once. She offers three clear strategies for healthcare leaders ready to act: identify the right channels of appeal to move leadership, engage communities as true partners rather than passive recipients, and mobilize nurses, who are uniquely positioned to lead this work from the inside out.    If you know a healthcare professional whose work reflects grit, innovation, or extraordinary care—or if that story is your own—we encourage you to apply for the TIME Healthcare Champion of the Year, in partnership with Johnson & Johnson, a branded award.   To listen to this Insight clip's full episode, visit the SEE YOU NOW Podcast Episode 104: Practicing Green Health on APPLE, SPOTIFY, YOUTUBE, or your favorite streaming platform.  Learn more about SEE YOU NOW.

    Episode 134: The Real Reel Stories of Nurses

    Nursing is a scientific discipline, a public health infrastructure, and a body of knowledge built at the intersection of biology, behavior, community, and systems. Nurses are in schools and boardrooms, in legislatures and laboratories, in emergency rooms and living rooms, at bedsides and borders. They are scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and the profession most consistently present at the places where health breaks down, and society falls short. And yet, according to decades of research on nursing's portrayal in media and public life, the public picture of nursing remains stubbornly narrow and stripped of the analytical authority that makes nursing expertise genuinely irreplaceable.  That gap is not a communications problem. It is a policy issue, a resource issue, and a patient safety concern. According to two replication studies of the landmark Woodhull Study on Nursing and the Media, nurses are cited as sources in just 2% of health news stories and nearly never in coverage of health policy. This means the perspective closest to the gaps in care, closest to what patients actually experience, and closest to workable solutions goes unheard. What is lost, as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine concluded in their 2021 report on the future of nursing, is not just recognition. It is a way of seeing: the whole person within a family, a community, an environment, a system. A trained, scientific, evidence-based way of seeing that, as Buresh and Gordon argue in From Silence to Voice, no other profession replicates at scale.  In this episode, guest host Lisbeth Votruba, a third-generation nurse and Chief Clinical Officer at Avishur, talks with filmmakers, photographer Carolyn Jones, and producer Lisa Frank, the team behind the 2012 book and documentary series The American Nurse Project. Jones and Frank share what they discovered after more than a decade of interviewing and photographing nurses across every setting, from Appalachian home health to prison hospices to labor and delivery wards, and why it took two outsiders to help nurses articulate what they do and why it matters. They discuss how personal storytelling unlocks what statistics cannot, how nurse-led initiatives have measurably improved outcomes in maternal health and end-of-life care, and why telling the full, true story of nurses is essential to fixing the systems we all rely on.  For more information on resources, visit ANA's Innovation Website at: https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/innovation/ Have questions or feedback for the SEE YOU NOW team?

    Episode 133: Ethics in Motion

    After a decade, the new ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses arrives as the nursing profession is projecting a shortfall of over 100,000 registered nurses by 2038, with burnout affecting approximately one-third of nurses, and growing demands on their attention and resources. Ongoing federal legislative efforts addressing nurse-to-patient ratios and workplace safety, the rise of artificial intelligence in clinical practice, and documentation burdens that consume up to one-third of nursing shifts all underscore the urgent need for ethical guidance rooted in the profession's commitment to human dignity, justice, and compassionate care.   In this episode of SEE YOU NOW, guest host Liz Stokes, PhD, JD, RN, and Kara Curry, MA, RN, HEC-C, two of the six co-chairs behind the revision, explain how 49 nurses from diverse practice settings spent over 600 hours building a shared ethical framework for millions of nurses worldwide. The Code is not a rulebook or a checklist; it is a relational map that defines what nursing stands for and provides guidance for navigating complex moral decisions.   The episode also features three nurses who embody the Code in practice: Kelley Lazor, BSN, RN, PCCN, CNIII, a nurse leader on a transplant unit who creates environments where ethical practice is supported, Talia Neves, BSN, RN, COHC, who moves from pediatric psychiatry to street medicine to policy advocacy, and Shika Kalevor, MBE BSN RN HEC-C, a clinical ethicist whose work on everyday ethics demonstrates how ethical considerations permeate every aspect of nursing care. Together, they show us what it means to practice nursing with integrity, compassion, and courage in an uncertain world.  For more information on resources, visit ANA's Innovation Website at: https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/innovation/ Have questions or feedback for the SEE YOU NOW team?

    Nurses Are: Leaders | Ama Mathewos

    Ama Mathewos, MPA, BSN, RN, NEA-BC, is a nurse, certified executive coach, and founder of Evolve Lead Succeed. After nearly two decades in nursing, from med-surg and oncology floors in New York City to six years as a nurse manager that spanned the COVID-19 pandemic, Ama led her team from significant challenges to achieving ANCC Magnet designation. That journey crystallized her belief that emotionally intelligent, well-supported nurse leaders aren't just good for teams, they're essential for patients, communities, and the future of the profession.  Now, through her coaching company and her role at Maimonides Medical Center, she is doing something deceptively simple and urgently necessary: being there for nurse leaders when it's hard. Listen as Ama reflects on what it means to fully see yourself as a nurse, and why that self-recognition might be the most powerful tool in healthcare.  For more information on resources, visit ANA's Innovation Website at: https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/innovation/ Have questions or feedback for the SEE YOU NOW team?
