Nursing professionals, community leaders, and nursing faculty share stories and practical advice for current and future nurses of all specialties.
Hosts Kait Nesbitt and Brooke Moseley sit down with Nurse Practitioner Justin Rigoloso, who shares highlights from a 20-year nursing career that spans critical care, helicopter and ground transport, NICU work, and an emergency department observation unit.
Justin explains what an ED observation unit is, describes memorable transport and patient stories (including carrying a severed finger), and reflects on the rewards and challenges of nursing and transitioning to an NP role — including scope-of-practice issues, precepting, and burnout after COVID.
He also discusses practical tools and advice for students and clinicians, including the use of AI resources like OpenEvidence and ChatGPT.
