    Through The Lens of Black Lives Matter: Racial Disparities In The ADHD Diagnosis

    Dr. Kimberly Douglass joins this episode (originally recorded on The Neurodivergent Nurse Podcast) to discuss what is behind the difficulties of receiving a diagnosis of ADHD for Black Americans. She discusses how symptoms in Black children are ignored as we look at issues such as the school to prison pipleline, the racial and ethnic disparities across the entire healthcare spectrum, implicit bias with diagnosing Black Americans, community stigma and more. Dr. Douglass has formed an encouraging community with her presence on TikTok (drkimberlydouglass) where she shares her knowledge of all things Neurodivergence ranging from Autism to needs of executive functioning to the reminders we all need to hear that we are whole today and deserving of quality of life.  About the CDC-Kaiser ACE Study https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/aces/about.html  School to prison pipeline http://www.justicepolicy.org/news/8775  Children left behind https://www.additudemag.com/race-and-adhd-how-people-of-color-get-left-behind/ If you enjoyed this information about ADHD and Mental health be sure to find The Neurodivergent Nurse on Instagram for more information and encouragement.  The Neurodivergent Nurse also has a weekly podcast to help enlighten and discuss all things ADHD.

    Nurse Papa: An Interview With A Pediatric Oncology Nurse

    "I’m okay if it hurts and I’m okay if I feel uncomfortable because I would rather have truth than to block what I’m feeling.

He shares some of his most treasured memories and lessons he's learned that we can all take something from. David also shares a bit about his upcoming book, Nurse Papa: 16 Meditations From A Pediatric Oncology Nurse to be released August 2021.

    On The Road Ramblings: She Believed She Could So She Did

    I read a post from Nurse_Haskins that said, "Dear NURSING students" Don't allow ANYONE to rush you to the finish line. It took ME over 20 years to go from CNA to FNP and some of those SAME PEOPLE have dropped out of the race." This caused me to reflect back to my own journey. 10 years later I proudly wear a bracelet my mom bought me that says, "She Believed She Could So She Did."

  8. Universal Healthcare For All

    Universal Healthcare For All

    There are many fears in the United States of America circulating around the new president, Joe Biden. One of the fears include socialized medicine/Universal Healthcare. In the United States we don’t fully grasp what it includes and there are countless myths and misconceptions when discussing such issues. First Do No Harm dives into the issue by having the hosts of Gritty Nurse Podcast (one of my favorites) on to discuss what Universal Health Care means in their country (Canada). I hope you enjoy listening to these two nurses as they educate me on what the realism of such construct really means. Gritty Nurse Podcast Webpage Listen to The Gritty Nurse Podcast
