Or perhaps, what can&apos;t I say about her? Rachell is an extraordinary nurse with a powerful story of pregnancy loss that will leave you both in tears and shaking your head in disbelief. After experiencing the loss of nine pregnancies, Rachell founded the nonprofit organization <a href='https://www.alightafternine.org/'>“A Light After Nine.”</a> This organization aims to provide families navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, and maternal trauma with the emotional, financial, and mental health resources they need. In true &quot;nurse&quot; fashion, Rachell works tirelessly to raise awareness and advocate for equitable maternal healthcare. Through Rachell, I learned about maternal palliative care, which is not only for mothers who are dying but is also essential for those experiencing high-risk pregnancies. Considering that 30% of pregnancies end in loss, this approach is a brilliant way to support this community.You may have heard the quote, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Rachell embodies the light she wishes to see in the world.In the five-minute snippet: Tell me you’re a nurse without telling me you’re a nurse.

From Pregnancy Loss to Maternal Health Advocate with Rachell Dumas

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2022505/open_sms">Send us a text</a>This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with NICU mom and author, Jennifer Bernardo. Jennifer gave birth to twins—a boy and a girl—at just 26 weeks gestation. Her book, <a href='https://amzn.to/4aShpUq'>Week 26</a>, is a firsthand account of their lives in the NICU and beyond. Jennifer’s journey began with a distressing wake-up call: she was hemorrhaging. Rushed to the hospital, she underwent an emergency C-section, where she delivered her son, weighing just two pounds, followed by her even smaller daughter, weighing one pound and eleven ounces. What followed was a four-and-a-half-month rollercoaster ride in the NICU. Jennifer perfectly described the experience as being &quot;two steps forward and one step back.&quot; At times, our conversation was raw emotion. No parent wants to describe the first time they meet their child as &quot;traumatic,&quot; yet Jennifer bravely did so. But she also recounted joyful moments, such as skin-to-skin holding and visits from their sibling. In her book, Jennifer emphasizes that the NICU journey is truly a family affair and includes reflections from her husband&apos;s and daughter&apos;s perspectives. As Jennifer’s story illustrates, attitude is everything. <a href='http://www.week26.com/'>Week 26</a> is a story of heartbreak and hope, and through her writing, Jennifer shows us that when your world turns dark, you must look for, and be the light.

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2022505/open_sms">Send us a text</a>This week, I had the great pleasure of speaking with my friend and colleague, Dr. David Borge. David is an OB/GYN who has retired from the traditional 9-to-5 work schedule and now enjoys using his expertise in Saipan and, more recently, Panama, his country of birth. As the son of missionaries, David spent his early years with his five siblings in Panama, France, Egypt, and Madagascar. His father, a physician, often brought young David to the hospital, where he could round on patients and observe surgeries. These experiences profoundly enriched his life, fueled his passion for service, and motivated him to become a physician. <a href='https://davidborge.travel.blog/'>David’s Next Adventure Travel Blog</a> chronicles his work with the <a href='https://floatingdoctors.com/'>Floating Doctors</a> organization. You’ll read the stories of his time in Saipan, treating women with cancer, birth defects, and high-risk pregnancies—compounded by a lack of medical support—which will make you appreciate life here in the United States. Although he hasn&apos;t yet written about his recent trip to Panama to establish a medical clinic with midwives, I am eagerly anticipating his stories. After delivering thousands of babies in eight countries, David has discovered that kindness, compassion, and competence resonate across cultures and are unified by our common humanity. Prepare yourself for emotional conversation filled with wonder, laughter and tears with an exceptional human. In the five-minute snippet: Well, they are a travel necessity. Here is David Borge.

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2022505/open_sms">Send us a text</a>For today’s episode, I’ve got questions and Maggie&apos;s got answers. Do you need a nurse advocate? Well, consider this your lucky day. Meet my guest, <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/maggieortizrn/'>Maggie Ortiz.</a> As founder and CEO of <a href='https://www.advocatesfornurses.com/'>Advocates for Nurses</a>, she provides guidance, education, and empowerment to nurses facing legal, regulatory, and professional challenges. Terrified of facing a Board of Registered Nursing investigation? Maggie&apos;s your insider. Equally terrified of being deposed? She literally wrote the book on it. Do you see where I’m going here? <a href='https://www.instagram.com/advocates4nurses'>Maggie</a> is dedicated to ensuring nurses have the resources and support they need to confidently protect their licenses—and that’s what I would call a true advocate for nurses.

Are you a nurse curious about the experiences of other nurses? For 36 years, I have only known the Peds/NICU realm but I am intrigued by the roles of nurse researchers, educators, and entrepreneurs. Through conversations with nurses from various specialties, I aim to bring you valuable insights into their lives. At the end of each episode we play the five-minute snippet, just five minutes of fun as we peek into the 'off-duty' lives of my guests! Listen as we explore the nursing profession, one conversation at a time.
