    Corinne Dunningham:From Expert Nurse to Novice NP: Scope, Uncertainty and the Stuff We Don’t Say Out Loud

    In this episode of NP In Progress, I sit down with Corinne Dunningham, emergency nurse practitioner and NP Masters coordinator, for one of my deepest and raw conversation since starting the podcast, we talk about the messy middle of becoming, and being a nurse practitioner. We unpack the expert-to-novice transition, why endorsement is often “just admin”, what full scope practice really means, and why nurse practitioners need to stop justifying their existence and start building the evidence for what comes next. Corinne also breaks down clinical reasoning as the “how and why” behind decision-making, reframes feedback as advice, and speaks honestly about uncertainty, collaboration, nursing identity, and finding your confidence without pretending you have it all together. This episode is for NP students, new NPs, educators, and anyone trying to practise safely in the grey while still backing themselves

    Lesley Salem: No Knowledge Is Any Good Unless It's Shared

    In this episode, I sit down with Lesley Salem, one of Australia’s first Indigenous Nurse Practitioners, for a raw and powerful conversation about culture, clinical reasoning, remote healthcare, and what it really means to serve people well. Lesley shares how her culture shapes the way she connects with patients, why hierarchy damages care, and how simple human connection can break down fear and mistrust. We talk about remote primary healthcare, Aboriginal Medical Services, pathology-led diagnostic reasoning, rheumatic heart disease, Medicare barriers, and why Nurse Practitioners need access to full scope if Australia is serious about health equity. This episode is also a masterclass in practical clinical reasoning. Lesley explains how she works backwards from abnormal pathology, how she thinks through differential diagnoses, and why anatomy and physiology sit at the centre of safe advanced practice. It’s honest, political, clinical, and deeply human. A conversation about hope, access, advocacy, and the Nurse Practitioner role Australia still hasn’t fully learnt how to use.

    The Red Flag Isn't the Diagnosis: Coached Like an Athlete, Learning Across Clinical Worlds: Dr Haunnah Rheault

    What happens when an emergency NP and a heart failure NP compare notes? A lot of laughing and a surprising amount of clinical growth. In this episode, I am joined again with Dr. Haunnah Rheault heart failure NP for an honest conversation about diagnostic momentum, cognitive bias, and why your specialty lens might be your biggest blind spot. We also get into the messy middle of becoming an NP, failing vivas, practicing the wrong technique 10,000 times, and why your CST saying "you're doing great" might be the kindest form of sabotage. Because real growth looks less like a lecture and more like being coached like an athlete. Featuring a reflective case on inflammatory breast cancer and why "it's probably cellulitis" can cost a patient everything.

    Hot Joint at 3am: How to Not Miss a Septic Joint | Dr Dan Brimm

    In this episode of NP in Progress, I sit down with orthopaedic registrar Dr Dan Brimm to break down the septic joint ; a limb- and sometimes threatening diagnosis you can’t afford to miss. We work through real ED cases, including a swollen knee after a “pimple squeeze” and a 30-year-old with a history of Intravenous drug use and severe wrist pain at 3am. We cover when to aspirate, when not to, why X-rays still matter, what bloods can and can’t tell you, and how metal in a joint changes your risk calculation. We also talk bias, pain management, and the importance of collaboration between ED and ortho. Practical. Case-based. No fluff

    How GPs Think: Clinical Reasoning and Patient-Centred Care with Dr Henri Coombs

    Clinical reasoning sits at the centre of this chat with GP Dr Henri Coombs. We cover the “golden minute,” the ICE model (ideas, concerns, expectations), and how to keep notes rich without stealing time from patients using ambient scribing tools. Henri shares how he balances risk in GP, when to refer to ED, antibiotic stewardship without arguments, and why concise GP letters matter. We also walk a fatigue case step-by-step, including iron, thyroid, sleep, mental health, and when tests help versus hinder. You’ll hear about: Patient-centred consults that actually save time Shared decisions that reduce bounce-backs Ambient documentation (Heidi/Lyrebird) improving note quality Risk tolerance in GP vs ED; red flags that change your plan Fatigue work-up: ferritin, B12/folate, thyroid, vitamin D, CRP (used wisely), sleep Coaching culture, feedback, and teaching registrars without panic referrals Practical discharge/GP letter do’s (short, clear, actionable) Perfect for NP students, ED clinicians, and any GP who wants fewer returns and better follow-up, without longer consults.
