    Love, Legacy & the Real Human Experience of Cancer Care: A Conversation with Oncology Doula Ann Wax, RN

    Did you know... “You know… after 50 years in oncology, I’ve learned that medicine treats the disease, but people are often left holding their fears alone.” — Ann Wax This week on the All One Nurse Podcast, Shenell sits down with Ann Wax, a nurse whose five decades of oncology experience have shaped her into a powerful advocate for the human side of cancer care. From infusion rooms to emotional bedside moments, Ann has spent her career helping patients feel seen, not just treated. Now, as an Oncology Doula, she continues that work by offering compassionate presence, emotional support, and guidance through the spiritual and existential weight of cancer. Together, Shenell and Ann explore the heart of nursing — the parts that don’t always make it into the chart but matter the most. They talk about survivorship, sexual health in oncology, the emotional load nurses carry, and the importance of self-care and empathy in a rapidly changing healthcare system. Whether you’re a new nurse, a seasoned nurse, or someone navigating the complexities of patient care, this episode will remind you why your presence matters. Takeaways Nursing can be deeply fulfilling, even if it wasn’t your first choice. Diverse nursing experiences shape personal and professional growth. Oncology nursing intersects with sexual health — a topic often overlooked. Emotional support is essential for patients undergoing treatment. Building genuine connections enhances the patient experience. Oncology doulas provide continuity, presence, and meaning-making support. Survivorship brings unique challenges that deserve attention. Self-care is not optional — it’s essential for sustainable nursing. Technology impacts workflows, communication, and patient relationships. Nurses must advocate fiercely for patients navigating complex systems.

    Refocusing On Your Assignment Part 4: Faith Over Fear Series with Shenell

    Did you know... Your journey, your calling, your assignment, it matters. In this FINAL episode of the Faith Over Fear series, Nurse Shenell discusses the importance of refocusing on one's assignment and redefining success. She contrasts worldly success, which is often measured by titles and possessions, with kingdom success, which emphasizes faithfulness, obedience, and serving others. The conversation explores the significance of identity in Christ and the outcomes of both worldly and kingdom success, ultimately encouraging listeners to choose faith over fear in their personal and professional lives. The episode concludes with exciting updates about the All One Nurse Mentorship Program and a new website. Key Takeaways True success looks different than what the world defines. Worldly Success vs. Kingdom Success  The outcome of worldly success is anxiety, comparison, and burnout. Kingdom success leads to peace, joy, and fulfillment. Success is not about titles or followers, but about faithfulness. We should focus on our identity in Christ rather than worldly achievements. God's love and promises are eternal and cannot be taken away. The All One Nurse Mentorship Program is launching soon.
