Why is American Healthcare Upside Down?
On episode 435 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Dr. Henry Buchwald, a world-renowned surgeon, author, professor, and patient healthcare advocate who contends that it's entirely possible for us to turn our broken healthcare system right-side up to serve the best interests of both patients and clinicians, now and in the future. In the course of their conversation, Keith and Dr. Buchwald focus on the statistics, revelations, and suggestions for positive change outlined in his brilliant and highly readable new book, "Healthcare Upside Down: A Critical Examination of Policy and Practice".
Dr. Henry Buchwald grew up in New York City, starting as a six-year-old helping to unload the daily catch of fish on the docks of Sheepshead Bay. After Columbia College, Medical School, and Internship, he served on flying status as the Base Flight Surgeon, Headquarters Strategic Air Command, now part of US Strategic Command, responsible with eleven other commands for strategic deterrence.
Subsequently, he completed surgical residency at the University of Minnesota, including research for inaugurating the partial ileal bypass operation to lower cholesterol levels; he was the Principal Investigator for the $65 million dollar Program on the Surgical Control of the Hyperlipidemias Trial that was the first trial to demonstrate that cholesterol lowering decreases atherosclerotic heart disease, prevents heart attacks and peripheral vascular disease, actually regresses coronary artery lesions, and increases life expectancy.
Dr. Buchwald stayed at the University of Minnesota for the rest of his career as Professor of Surgery and Biomedical Engineering, and the Owen H. and Sally Davidson Wangensteen Chair in Experimental Surgery. In his engineering endeavors, he was responsible for the invention for the first implantable drug infusion pump and the ubiquitous infusion port used by millions annually.
He lives on the outskirts of Minneapolis with his wife, Emilie. He spends his private time horseback riding, writing, running, and swimming. The Buchwalds have four daughters, who, with their husbands, for the most part, live close by, enabling Henry and Emilie to enjoy their six grandchildren.

A Recovering Psychiatrist on Finding Your Authentic Self and an Optimal Path to Healing
On episode 430 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Dr. Fred Moss, a mental health advocate and "recovering psychiatrist" who serves in many capacities: keynote speaker, psychiatry expert witness, podcaster, mental health coach, and teacher.

He is the creator of Welcome To Humanity, The True Voice Course, Healing the Healer, and Global Madness.
As the founder of the Welcome to Humanity movement and the True Voice Mastermind and methodology, Dr. Fred now finds himself making the difference he came here to make. His years in the community, where he has been a physician to over 40,000 patients, and his storied and adventurous life traveling around the world has left him uniquely qualified to remind us of what we already know. Communication is where love arises from, and speaking the truth and listening authentically is the source of that love.
Dr. Fred is married to his dream partner, Alexandra, and lives in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas in Northern California. He is the proud father of two beautiful children in Texas and is owned collectively by his three cats, Valentino, Despacito, and Winston.
He is the author of "Creative 8 - Healing Through Creativity and Self-Expression" and "Find Your True Voice!". He has written many articles for Psychology Today. Also, he has won an award for the best essay at the 2019 Conference for Global Transformation, titled "Global Madness, What Must Happen to Unite.” Fred has also led many courses in True Voice Podcasting, taking people from zipped-lip to podcaster in 12 short weeks.

A Nurse Inventor and Entrepreneur Creates Nursing Tools That Matter
On episode 419 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Paul Castaneda, RN, CCRN, a 25-year veteran ICU nurse who is also the Founder of NursingTools.com. Nurses are natural problem-solvers, and if they have the chance to create practical tools that solve real-world problems, everyone wins.
It all started in June of 2017. Paul had become frustrated looking for tools specifically for nurses to use at the bedside, and he noticed that medical-surgical, ICU, ER, NICU, and other nurses were always borrowing instruments and modifying medical equipment in order to get simple tasks done.
So Paul decided to designed scissors that could "cradle" ports and effortlessly unfasten stubborn connections that seal themselves from protein-based medications.
Nursing Tools currently sells on Amazon and their website, periodically adding other products that are born from bedside innovation and necessity.

How to Be a Visionary 21st-Century Healthcare Leader
On episode 407 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Certified Executive Coach Ronnie Kinsey, BSN, RN, MBA about how to be a visionary 2121st-century healthcare leader who can readily identify what's right, as well as what needs to change.
Ronnie Kinsey, BSN, RN, MBA is well-credentialed as a seasoned clinician and healthcare leader with a breadth of experience in highly recognized academic and specialty medical centers, as well as in the corporate arena.
Mr. Kinsey has made it his life mission to understand what is right with healthcare. Beyond events in early life calling him into a career in healthcare, he planned to experience working in several dynamic workplaces and well-developed healthcare systems in order to learn, grow, and make the best impact wherever possible. He is quick to share that he has had a fascinating career and an exciting life built around those opportunities in diverse geographic locations.
Ronnie is eager to share valuable insights about the transitions that have affected the roles and responsibilities of nurses over time. He began his nursing journey with paper charting when computers were not nurses' concern. Observing the wave of electronic charting crashing quickly toward the clinical setting, Ronnie quickly signed up to be part of planning and launching these systems so that he could understand how he and his own nursing practice were going to be personally impacted by them, as well as how healthcare would evolve as a result.
Having seen several public health emergencies over the course of his career, Ronnie has observed that many have involved a virus of some kind. From his perspective, COVID — coupled with short staffing, overwhelm at the bedside, divisive public beliefs about the pandemic, and increased administrative responsibilities laid upon the shoulders of hard-working clinicians — has by far been the single most disruptive event impacting nursing and healthcare since his career began.
Ronnie remains optimistic regarding the opportunity to improve the nursing, clinician, and healthcare experience with an eye toward the goal of manageable value-based outcomes. He is focused on leadership and executive coaching that has the power to develop and support bold, informed leaders who can lead us on the path to sustainable solutions to the outsized concerns seen in healthcare and leadership today.

Sarah’s #1 Bestseller, The Thriving Giver, 7 Principles for Health Professionals and Caregivers to Enhance Self-Care and Prevent Burnout was shortlisted for the Business Book Awards in 2022 and is currently being translated into Chinese.

She began her nursing career with AtlantiCare as an Emergency Medical Services nurse in the field. She has also worked at Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck, NJ, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, Newark, NJ, and other hospital and ambulance services.
Vasquez earned her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing at Felician University, Lodi, NJ, and her Master of Science in Nursing in leadership in healthcare systems at Grand Canyon University, Phoenix, AZ. Passionate about fostering learning opportunities for herself and others, she is pursuing her MBA in health systems management at Grand Canyon University.
In the midst of the pandemic, she and her husband had a happy life event to celebrate – Rachel became pregnant and gave birth to the couple’s beautiful daughter, Lorelai. After returning to work from her maternity leave, Rachel saw AtlantiCare’s reminders about having her annual primary care visit and getting age- and risk-related screenings. She made the appointment with her primary care provider and visited him just before her 40th birthday. What happened next was life-saving for Rachel and life-changing for her family.
Vasquez lives in Ocean County, NJ with her husband and daughter. They enjoy spending time doing outdoor activities, including taking in the beauty of nature.

How Subtle Shifts in Mindset Can Help Nurse Practitioners (and Nurses) Thrive
On episode 394 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Josie Tate, MSN, CRNP, FNP-C, a successful family nurse practitioner and inspirational NP career mentor. In the course of their spirited discussion, Keith and Josie discuss the awareness and mindset it takes to level up from RN to NP; how subtle shifts impact success; overcoming Impostor Syndrome; and how to thrive in and out of clinical practice.
Josie Tate is a family nurse practitioner and career mentor with a heart to see others succeed. Since starting her nursing journey with a BSN in 2006, her most memorable times include being a preceptor to nursing students and mentor to newly hired employees.
Soon after becoming a nurse practitioner in 2018, she saw new NPs experience a disconnect between obtaining an advanced degree and embracing the role of advanced practice provider. To bridge that gap, she created Clincepts, a mentoring resource to help nurse practitioners get happily hired.
As a nurse leader, Josie empowers nurse practitioners to start their career endeavors encouraged and equipped to start their search and seal the deal to their ideal NP job. Clincepts at its core strives to be the much needed support structure that elevates advanced practice nurses to thrive both in and out practice.
Josie is also passionate about her life outside of practice. Her favorite roles are wife to her college sweetheart and mom to their three fun-filled kids. In her spare time, you can catch her completing a home decor project or reading a self-development book.

Why Nursing Associations Still Matter
On episode 392 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Cheryl Peterson, MSN, RN, Vice President for Nursing Programs at the American Nurses Association (ANA).

Nursing associations like the ANA can’t do it alone, so Keith and Cheryl dive into the question of how to involve groups and individuals who are willing to embrace being stakeholders and engaging in collective action for the greater good.
In her role as VP for Nursing Programs at the ANA, Ms. Peterson is responsible for guiding ANA’s Department of Nursing Practice and Work Environment, the Center for Ethics and Human Rights, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Minority Fellowship Program and ANA’s signature initiative, Healthy Nurse Healthy Nation™. Each of these areas contribute to advancing ANA’s strategic nursing practice efforts designed to meet the association’s vision of a healthy world through the power of nursing.
Since coming to the ANA in 1990, Ms. Peterson has developed significant expertise in addressing a myriad of nursing and health issues through the application of practice and policy development strategies and strategic advocacy efforts. She has policy expertise in the areas of nursing workforce development, immigration and trade, occupational safety and health, and health system transformation. Ms. Peterson also serves as ANA’s principal liaison to the International Council of Nurses.

Dr. Buffy Lloyd-Krejci, also known as "Dr. Buffy: The Germ Slayer", is one of the foremost authorities on infection prevention and control in nursing homes and long-term care facilities such as nursing homes and other underserved and vulnerable populations. Her practice, IPCWell, is headquartered in Phoenix and is devoted to mitigating infectious diseases and inappropriate antibiotic prescribing in healthcare settings to reduce adverse events, infections, antibiotic resistance, readmissions, and death. Dr. Buffy consults with health care facilities across the United States and internationally.
Using her experience with more than 700 healthcare facilities across the United States she works tirelessly to combat the estimated 1 to 3 million infections leading to more than 380,000 deaths every year in the nursing home industry. She has worked with the CDC and other organizations on infection control studies and research such as the Arizona Emergency Preparedness Infection Control (EPIC) grant, the Institute of Health (IHI) Project ECHO, a hub-and-spoke knowledge-sharing network to support NH leadership during COVID-19.
As a result of her work with more than 200 nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic and over 500 prior to 2020, Dr. Lloyd-Krejci's book describes challenges within the nursing home industry with infection prevention and control prior to the pandemic, the catastrophic consequences of COVID-19, and what actions are needed to improve the quality of care delivered to this vulnerable population now and into the future.
