  • Insight 11: Why Nurses Belong in Elected Offices

    Insight 11: Why Nurses Belong in Elected Offices
    Aug 28 2025

    While some nurses already serve in elected office, their numbers are far too few, and our communities are missing out. In this SEE YOU NOW Insight from Episode 95: Nursing Is Political, Kimberly Gordon, DNP, CRNA, co-founder of Healing Politics, makes a powerful case for why more nurses should run for public office. Drawing on their holistic training, problem-solving skills, and deep understanding of the social factors that shape health, nurses are uniquely equipped to serve on school boards, city councils, and in state legislatures. Kimberly shares how nurse voices in policy-making could transform decisions on issues like school safety, public health, and community well-being, and why public service should be part of nursing’s culture of care.

  • Episode 125: Nursing is Still Political

    Episode 125: Nursing is Still Political
    Aug 27 2025
    Two years after introducing listeners to Healing Politics, with Episode 95: Nursing is Political, Kimberly Gordon, DNP, CRNA, returns along with co-founder Lisa Summers, BSN, MSN, DrPH, with sobering research and renewed urgency about nurses' political participation. When more nurses are civically engaged, communities are healthier. Why? Because legislative decisions shape everything from healthcare access to public health funding, and nurses’ holistic, community-based perspective gives them a unique view into both the problems people face and the solutions needed to address them. Research shows that nurse legislators consistently outperform their peers in crafting evidence-based healthcare policy, achieving bipartisan collaboration, and delivering measurable health outcomes for their constituents (ScienceDirect). Yet without more nurses in elected office, these critical insights rarely reach the legislative process. In this episode, Gordon and Summers share how Healing Politics has evolved since launching the first campaign school designed specifically for nurses and midwives. Beyond preparing candidates to run for office, their mission has expanded to strengthen civic engagement through partnerships with VoteER, Fair Vote, and Power to the Polls. Together, this bipartisan duo reflects on the vital distinction between politics and policy, and unveil their new state-based liaison strategy designed to scale their impact and increase nurse representation at every level of government. Because when nurses step into the halls of power, they don’t just change policy, they change lives.

    In this SEE YOU NOW Insight, nurse leader Elizabeth Cohn, emergency physician Alister Martin, and health policy strategist Aliya Bhatia make the case that civic engagement, especially voting, is a public health intervention.

    124: On the Road to Rural Care
    Jul 31 2025
    Providing access to consistent, quality care in sparsely populated or hard-to-reach places is no easy feat. It involves addressing issues including infrastructure, workforce, funding, and proximity, not to mention tackling problems from hospital closures to the shrinking provider workforce.  In this episode, we’re taking a road trip across the vast state of Texas, a state where 83% of its nearly 270,000 square miles of land is made up of farms, ranches, and forests, with over 4 million people living in these rural areas. At the steering wheel is a nurse practitioner and professor  Barbara Chapman DNP, MBA, APRN, FNP-C, NHDP, PMHNP-BC who is committed to using and combining every approach possible, including mobile health care, to address access to care issues not only in rural areas, the places where people are hard to reach and often hardly reached, but also driving toward solutions where everyone, regardless of where they live, has access to the quality, timely, whole-person care they need and deserve.

  • Insight 7: A Civil Society Starts in the Care Environment

    Insight 7: A Civil Society Starts in the Care Environment
    Jul 24 2025

    In this SEE YOU NOW Insight from Episode 96: Addressing Moral Distress Across the Healthcare Workforce, Nurse Executive Consultant and former UC Health CNE Kathy Howell, MBA, BSN, RN, NEA-BC, takes us beyond the headlines of nursing shortages and toward the deeper causes of workforce distress: unsafe workplaces, moral injury, and a fractured social contract with the nursing profession.

    Howell reminds us that the relationship between nurses and society is not merely transactional; it’s a covenant, rooted in profound moral commitment, trust, and service. When this sacred trust is broken, it leaves nurses vulnerable not just physically, but emotionally and ethically. Howell shares how preventing workplace violence, ensuring 24/7 mental health support, and building peer accountability are critical steps toward restoring safety, support, and a sense of shared responsibility in healthcare environments.
