    Supreme Court Protects Therapist Free Speech | The Truthful Therapist EXPOSES Why “Affirm Only” Is Not Therapy

    This healthcare policy and ethics conversation explores how free speech, mental health practice, and state-level legislation are colliding in the fight over exploratory therapy. In this episode of NursesOutLoud, Jodi O’Malley is joined by Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, The Truthful Therapist, for a bold conversation on the Supreme Court decision protecting therapists’ free speech, the misuse of the term conversion therapy, and the growing collision between mental health policy, ethical therapy, and ideological affirmation. Pamela shares why she believes therapy is being redefined, how fear-driven suicide narratives are used to pressure families and professionals, and why blue states are still advancing policies that could punish therapists for honest clinical exploration. Jodi and Pamela also react to the powerful testimony of detransitioner Johnny Skinner, who told California lawmakers about the irreversible harm he says followed blockers and hormones, and they discuss the viral moment involving California Senator Scott Wiener. The episode closes with Pamela’s message to parents and therapists: do not be intimidated, get to the root of the issue, and speak up while there are cracks in the system. Pamela also shares her children’s book, Froggy Girl, and A Practical Response to Gender Distress: Tips and Tools for Families Earn CNE for this episode through NursesOutLoud. New to nursing ethics?

    Health Policy: When Public Health Becomes Chain of Command

    In this episode of NursesOutLoud, Jodi O’Malley, MSN, RN, explores a major health policy issue most people still are not talking about: the culture inside government health agencies and how hierarchy, career protection, protocol, and institutional loyalty can shape public health decisions. Drawing from her firsthand experience as a civilian nurse inside Indian Health Service, Jodi explains why silence inside the system does not always mean agreement — and why nurses must be grounded in the Code of Ethics, not just policy and protocol. She also reflects on Dr. Robert Malone’s comments to frame a larger conversation about public health, institutional pressure, and the cost of dissent. In this episode: A deeper look at health policy and public health culture inside government agenciesWhy silence inside the system does not always mean consensusThe role of USPHS Commissioned Corps officers in leadership and decision-makingHow institutional pressure and career dependency affect dissentJodi’s firsthand experience inside Indian Health ServiceThe ivermectin case that exposed a deeper ethical dilemmaWhy policy and protocol are not the highest standard in nursingThe risk of becoming institutionalized inside a powerful systemWhy nurses need to know the Code of Ethics before the next crisis comes Earn CNE for this episode through NursesOutLoud.Looking for a lower-entry first step into nursing ethics?

    For the Nurse Who Feels Alone: Nursing Ethics, Wholeness of Character, Advocacy, and Conscience in Practice

    In this Nursing Ethics episode, Jodi O’Malley and Nurse Tori Jensen speak directly to the healthcare worker who feels alone — unpacking moral courage, religious liberty, wholeness of character, and the cost of advocacy in today’s healthcare system. This episode is available for CNE What begins as an unplanned, candid exchange becomes a deeply personal conversation about the emotional toll of speaking out, the grief that often follows advocacy, and the challenge of staying faithful when the fruit is not always visible. Jodi and Tori reflect on the burden of whistleblowing, the loneliness many nurses feel in ethically tense environments, and the importance of remaining grounded in truth, faith, and integrity. This episode especially reflects themes connected to Provision 5 through wholeness of character and integrity, and Provision 9 through advocacy, activism, and public witness. It also highlights Tori’s reflections on the Religious Liberty Commission hearing and why healthcare workers need to understand their rights when facing conscience conflicts or pressure to violate sincerely held beliefs. This conversation is for the nurse who feels isolated, discouraged, or weary from carrying the weight of what they know is right. Your integrity matters. Your voice matters. And you are not alone.

    Nursing Ethics: The Pediatrician Who Writes One Antibiotic Script a Year — And Says Your Child’s Fever Is Not the Enemy

    What if everything nursing school taught you about your child's fever — and everything you've been telling patients at triage — was missing the full picture? In this Nursing Ethics episode of NursesOutLoud™, ER nurse, nursing ethics educator, and federal whistleblower Jodi O'Malley, MSN, RN sits down with Dr. Lawrence Palevsky — New York board-certified pediatrician, past president of the American Holistic Medical Association, and one of the most thought-provoking voices in pediatric medicine today. This conversation goes straight at the reflexes medicine has conditioned into all of us: treat the fever, order the swab, write the script. Dr. Palevsky has practiced across ER, ICU, NICU, and pediatric settings and has spent over 20 years providing integrative and holistic solutions for children and families. He writes maybe one antibiotic prescription a year. He doesn't treat fevers by the number on a thermometer. And he has a lot to say about acetaminophen, glutathione, informed consent, and what nurses and parents are never told. Whether you're a nursing student, a new grad RN, an ER/Peds nurse, or a parent — this one will make you think differently. In this episode:✅ Why fever is the body's design — not your enemy✅ What acetaminophen actually does to glutathione (and why that matters during pregnancy)✅ The real cost of reflex antibiotic prescribing✅ Vaccines, informed consent, and what a pediatrician is actually obligated to tell you✅ What nurses owe patients — and what the ANA Code of Ethics demands This is Nursing Ethics content for nurses who want to think, not just comply.

    Faith + Nursing: Jerusalem Isn’t Optional—Zionism, Israel/Gaza, Antisemitism Labels & Bible Prophecy (6 Clips)

    Faith + Nursing: Jerusalem isn’t optional in Scripture — and I’m done watching leaders speak carelessly about Zionism, Jews, Israel, and prophecy… then act shocked when confusion spreads. In this episode, I respond to viral clips from a public antisemitism hearing (Feb 9, 2026, Museum of the Bible, Washington DC) and break it down with Scripture, definitions, and discernment — without flattening complex realities into slogans. I’m an ER nurse and nursing ethics educator, and I recognize the same “spirit of confusion” we lived through in 2020: labels weaponized, forced soundbites, and pressure to repeat talking points.
