Every other week I'm republishing one of my most popular or impactful episodes and adding an update, new insight, or context that will help you benefit from it even more. This week I'm highlighting Episode 116, which is all about pediatric pharmacology. When you understand these key foundation concepts, the whole subject of pharm gets a whole lot easier. Enjoy! As cute and adorable as they are, kids are not just tiny adults. Especially when it comes to pharmacology. The way kids absorb, distribute, metabolize and excrete drugs varies greatly, making pediatric pharmacology a truly unique subject.  If you’re heading into your pediatric rotation or starting out as a new pediatric RN, then pop in those earbuds. I’ll talk you through the key things you need to know to utilize medications safely in this very special and vulnerable population.  ___________________ ⁠Full Transcript⁠ [https://www.straightanursingstudent.com/pediatricpharm/] - Read the article and view references ⁠FREE CLASS⁠ [https://learn.straightanursingstudent.com/thrive-optin] - If all you've heard are nursing school horror stories, then you need this class!

I am so excited about the episode I’ve got for you this week and that’s because it’s a topic that is incredibly close to my heart. As you may know, I’ve been living with a bone marrow disorder and was diagnosed just a few months after I started working as a nurse. Since then, I’ve shared my experiences with this condition on the Straight A Nursing podcast and am delighted to take it even deeper with you this week. In this special episode sponsored by Incyte, I sit down with Becca Claassen, a dedicated oncology nurse with Incyte and a fellow MPN warrior. Join us as we delve into the complexities of living with and caring for patients with this rare form of blood cancer. Not sure what an MPN is? An MPN, or myeloproliferative neoplasm, is a group of rare, chronic blood cancers in which a person’s bone marrow does not function properly. And, as you can imagine, these conditions pose unique challenges for your patients that can range from day-to-day symptom management to reducing the risk of serious thrombotic events. And while I usually teach you about a condition from the perspective of a nurse, this week I’m sharing the patient perspective, too. In this episode, Becca and I not only discuss some key things to know about MPNs and how we have personally navigated our own MPN journeys, but Becca also shares with us a fantastic symptom tracking tool for patients that can really simplify the daunting task of staying on top of MPN symptoms. To access The Voices of MPN Mobile Tracker App, visit VoicesofMPN.com. This episode is a unique blend of professional and personal insights, aimed at deepening understanding so you can be an even more compassionate and competent nurse. 🎧 Listen in to our conversation here [link to episode] Click the link above to listen, and thank you so much for joining me in this deeply personal conversation.
