The Pulse Check Podcast

pulsecheckpodcast

Inside the halls of American hospitals, millions of people find comfort, healing, and support. But for many doctors and nurses, this couldn’t be further from the truth. This podcast will dive into the shadows of American healthcare to investigate and uncover the abuse, control, and political power plays that leave the very people responsible for our nation’s health, broken and battered. We’re sharing stories of professionals in medicine that have experienced horrendous treatment at the hands of a broken system that does nothing to stop the trauma. As the Association of American Medical Colleges states, “Long before the #MeToo movement, women in medicine have instinctively banded together to counter a culture that too often tolerated harassment.” From systemic trauma to abuse of power to the unspoken rules of cover-ups and corruption, Mandy Irby and HeHe will take you to the darkest corners of healthcare in America so you can have an inside look at bringing humanity back to medicine!

    Ep. 45: Self Empowerment and Healing Ourselves with Nurse Missy

    Self Empowerment and Healing Ourselves with Nurse Missy What would love do? That’s what our guest today has us asking ourselves now! We invited Nurse Missy onto the podcast, and we had no agenda. You’ll love where the mood takes us, from how do people heal themselves? We talk a bit about stress as a spiritual affliction - we did not anticipate that! And we even get a few history lessons on Jesus and bible stories, which were surprisingly well-timed, especially for the non-religious.  HeHe and Mandy both felt like Missy’s message was meant for us this week, and we are curious if you feel the same way after listening. Let us know your thoughts in the comments or on our IG: @pulsecheck.podcast   Nurse Missy, RN, Soul Coach, Hope Influencer Follow Nurse Missy on TikTok: @thatnursemissy Her website for more info Missy’s podcast on forgiveness ⭐️ As you enjoy this podcast, we’d be so grateful for a 5 star review!

    Ep. 43: Functional Medicine: Using Nursing Fundamentals to Become True Healers

    Functional Medicine: Using Nursing Fundamentals to Become True Healers Today we have guest with us who finally found a way to be healer and advocate while helping her patients empower themselves toward wellness. Brigitte Sager shares her journey from critical care nurse to becoming a “manager of disease;” the more she learned, the more frustrated in her job she became.  Now, as a nurse coach and in her functional medicine consulting practice, she is teaching new nurses in the field that you don’t have to suffer to care for others! Brigitte shares about the role that functional medicine can play in professional burnout and answers some of her students’ most-asked questions. We’re grateful for her time and experience with us, thank you Brigitte! Functional medicine feels parallel to Trauma-Informed Nursing Care: Brigitte writes in a blog: “[FM] content was material I had learned in nursing school, but they are topics that are rarely given any priority in modern healthcare.” Resources Brigitte recommends: https://blog.inursecoach.com/functional-medicine-nurse-coaching-perfect-partnership https://blog.inursecoach.com/functional-medicine-the-art-of-healing-for-nurses Find someone like Brigitte in your area at IFM.org New Classes in Oct and Jan: www.FM4N.com Her podcast: https://inursecoach.com/podcast/ep30-functional-medicine-for-nurses/ Trauma-Informed Birth Nurse Program: https://mandyirby.com/trauma-informed-birth-nurse-program/
