Should patients who have not received the COVID-19 vaccination be declined for transplant?
The idea of vaccination prior to transplantation is not new, and with the scarcity of organ availability, doctors want to make sure that the person getting the organ has every means at their disposal to stay healthy. But with the lack of long-term data with the vaccination being so new, is it right to deny transplantation based on this one part of one criteria?

Long COVID is a real health concern for millions of patients who are still experience symptoms months after their COVID-19 infection. We know as healthcare workers that patients are leaving the hospital better, but not back at their baseline. The healthcare industry does not have the best track record for believing patients who complain of persistent symptoms when they do not have definitive testing to correlate symptoms. Could this be because the main demographic of Long COVID is female?

On January 7th the first ever pig-to-human heart transplant was done in the U.S. at the University of Maryland Medicine. It is prudent to note that the heart used was genetically modified. I say this because there have been trials of xenotransplantation before that were unsuccessful due to rejections. Today we discuss the why, how, and our thoughts on using animals, like pigs, in the future for xenotransplantation.

With only 20% of nurses in the US who feel staffing levels are safe, patient to nurse ratios is a big topic within healthcare. Not everyone can agree on legislations, but numbers are in:
- In hospitals a 1:8 nurse-to-patient ratios experience five additional deaths per 1,000 patients compared to a 1:4 nurse-to-patient ratio
- Odds of patient death increases by 7% for each additional patient a nurse takes on at one time
Today we discuss the good and bad of ratios and impacts it may or may not have on hospitals.

At least 1 in 6 men have experienced sexual abuse or assault.

Opioid pain relievers are responsible for more deaths than deaths from both suicide and motor vehicle crashes, or deaths from cocaine and heroin combined.
In the 1990’s opioids were marketed to healthcare professionals as safe and non-habit forming. How wrong this was, as many doctors and APPs began writing more prescriptions to help their patients with their chronic pain, thinking this was a safe, non addictive drug. This was the beginning of the opioid epidemic in the U.S.
How quickly you can become addicted to opioids is unknown, however some states this can happen in as few as 5 days, but mostly the research is stating a few weeks.
Naloxone is an opioid antagonist. Naloxone can restore a normal breathing pattern to someone who has had an opioid overdose in about 2-3 minutes. Narcan can be given via nasal spray or injection. Most law enforcement, emergency medical professionals, and families of opioid addicts are trained to give narcan. Narcan only lasts about 30-90 minutes before the effects wear off, once narcan is given, you should seek medical attention.
If you or someone you know needs help with an opioid addiction, there are options.
- You can dial 211 to speak with someone directly.
- SAMHSA - Substance abuse mental health service administration
- Has an Opioid Treatment Program Directory where you can search your states and find providers in your area.

Although telehealth has existed for years, it had become the number one way to receive non-urgent medical care in 2020. With the pandemic last year, being quarantined and in lock down, many people were unable to receive in person medical care. With this in mind, we discuss the good and the bad.
There are also apps that allow patients to receive counseling sessions from a mental health provider via call, facetime and/or text. Remembering that telehealth/telemedicine has its limits and should not replace the care of your primary care provider. Your PCP gives hands on care, physical exams and blood work and those are important to your total wellness.

Yes, studies show that breastmilk is best for babies. We, as nurses and mothers, know the guilt we can carry when we do our best by our patients and our children, let alone when we cannot. Could you imagine not physically being able to provide for your child with what the world considers is the best for them? Why do we as a society feel the need to judge and shame others when not one parent is perfect? There is more than one way to provide nutrition for our babies! Let’s motivate, encourage and uplift, being a parent is already a hard, lifetime job.

There are 2 different options when it comes to cord blood, collect or discard.
If you choose to collect cord blood then there is another decision, do you donate to a public bank or keep it for your family through a private banking agency.
Couple of things to watch out for when you think about cord blood banking. There can be false claims as to what stems cells and cord blood are currently capable of treating. Misleading patients to bank cord blood for future use of treatment that is either being researched or hypothecated is wrong and illegal.
A recent study done at the University of Colorado Cancer Center is showing some pretty good response when it comes to cancer patients needing bone marrow transplants.
To get more information about cord blood donation or banking, it's important that you speak with your OB/GYN.

Would like to start out this episode by explaining that there are BIG differences between emotional support animals and service animals. Both are important and have great purpose in helping their owners.
Emotional support animals offer companionship. ESA do not have to be dogs. These animals can help with loneliness, depression, anxiety, and even phobias.
Service Animals are trained to individually work or carry out tasks for an individual with a disability, such as a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental handicap.

PTSD is very well known and associated with veterans; however, they are not the only ones who suffer with this illness. People who have experienced or witnessed traumatic events also suffer from PTSD.
People suffering with PTSD may go through intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to an experience long after the traumatic event has ended. Reliving the events through flashbacks or nightmares. Some may feel sadness, fear, anger and/or detached or estranged from other people. Those with PTSD may avoid situations or people that remind them of the traumatic event, having strong negative reactions to loud noises or an accidental touch.
It’s our responsibility as healthcare professionals to be educated and informed. With that being said we’re going to link an assessment screening tool for PTSD.

We are doing something a little different with today's episode and we took time to talk with some CNAs. These are the conversations that we hope you find informative and inspirational.
A lot of times we tend as nursing professionals and healthcare professionals to assume what others want as appreciation. I’ve learned that the best way to know how someone feels appreciated is by asking them directly. Take the time to sincerely listen to your coworkers and employees. Validation is also appreciation.
To all the PCAs, NAs, CNAs thank you for all you do!!

Botox isn’t just for wrinkles any more! The FDA approved Botox in 2010 for treatment of chronic migraines.
Botox is a man made drug that comes from a toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin that is one of the most poisonous biological substances known.
How does Botox work?
Botox enters the nerve endings at the injection sites and blocks the release of chemicals involved in pain. This essentially prevents pain signals from going to the brain, relieving migraines.

There are two main forms of glaucoma that we’re discussing today, open angle and closed/narrow angle glaucoma.
Open angle glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma. It is generally a progressive disease that is symptomless, until it affects vision. Peripheral and side vision is affected, leading to central vision loss and untreated it can cause total vision blindness.
The effects of glaucoma cannot be reversed. But with treatment the progression of the disease can be slowed down or prevent permanent vision loss.

Cyberbullying is using technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. It could be in a text, e-mail, dm, or in a post on social media or online. It can be done anonymously, making the bullying worse. Anything that gets posted online and is meant to hurt, harass, or upset someone else is considered cyberbullying.
We would like to go over the impacts of bullying from multiple different avenues, the victim, the bully and the bystander, as there are many who are affected when someone is bullied.

How many of us at some point in our nursing careers have thought to ourselves or even discussed with other nurses if we thought nursing was really the right career for us?
For most of us nursing isn’t a career, it truly is a calling. Our desire to help others is what leads most of us to this profession. The question now is how do we find the positive in nursing?
In today's episode we touch on 3 different areas to help keep a positive mindset:
-
Self-care - The American Nurses Association Code of Ethics says that the moral respect that nurses extend to all human beings “extends to oneself as well: the same duties that we owe to others we owe to ourselves.”
-
Learning how to give and responding to criticism is hard. I’ve always believed that you can truly say whatever you want as long as it is in a respectful way. Approach is everything.
-
Keeping a positive mindset - I think I can say with some certainty, many people faced negative moments, that made it difficult to find silver linings. But surrounding yourself with others that help find that silver lining is key.

Organ trafficking requires a plethora of people, from the recruiter who finds the “donors” to the medical professionals who perform the surgery.
The most common organ trafficking is where a person agrees to sell their organ but they are either not paid at all for the organ or they are paid significantly less than they originally agreed upon.
There are even situations where traffickers force or deceive persons into giving up their organs, like when someone wakes up packed in ice with one less kidney. Although less common, this still happens to this day.
The most vulnerable of people are targeted. There are even people who are treated for a condition that they may or may not have, and during that treatment their organ(s) are removed without their knowledge!
List to the full episode to find out more about organ trafficking. You can always visit our website www.thenursingpostpodcast.com to learn more and for our references.
Part 2 of our donate life series covers the donor side of organ donation. Organs come from either deceased or living donors. Deceased organ donation is the process of giving an organ or a part of an organ, at the time of the donor’s death. Living donors should be in good overall physical and mental health and older than 18 years of age.
Living donors can donate;
- 1 of 2 kidneys
- 1 of 2 lobes of livers
- A lung or part of a lung, part of the pancreas, or part of the intestines.
- Tissue
Deceased donations and transplantations professionals determine which organs can be transplanted and to which patients on the national transplant waiting list.
The impact of donating is huge, 1 donor can save 8 lives. There are positive and life changing effects that come from donating and receiving an organ. For the recipient, receiving an organ prolongs life and allows for quality of life. For the donor, the experience of giving an organ to a person in need can serve as a positive, rewarding experience.
The next step is up to you…. To register to become a donor and to save lives is as simple as contacting a transplant center, visit the OPTN Member Directory for a list of transplant centers. Make the next step by having an initial screening and have an independent donor advocate to help you navigate and advocate on your behalf.

It is fascinating to think of an implantable device that could help improve or even dare say cure any neurological disorders. Elon Musk's vision for the Neuralink is quite impressive and may almost seem out of reach. This integration with technology and medical care to an entirely different level.
The Neuralink is an implanted device that is about the size of a coin. It has hundreds of threads that are attached to it. These threads are microscopic and a fraction of the size of a strand of hair. To give a comparison one thread is 5 microns thick, a human hair is 100-microns thick. These threads are embedded about 4mm into the brain tissue using a robotic arm. Actually, the end result is to have this procedure all done robotically, taking 1 hour to complete. Once the threads are embedded the coin size chip sits flush with your skull, leaving only a small scar that is covered by your hair.
This theory is heavily criticized by many. If Elon Musk and his team are able to bring their ideas to fruition, then it will be ground breaking in neuroscience. However, where there is good, evil is always lurking. I think there will be a great deal of responsibility that will have to be taken while developing this software.

This episode is meant to expand your knowledge and to help raise awareness for AIDS!
To understand AIDS, we should first start with how it progresses through HIV.
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system, making a person more vulnerable to other infections and diseases.
- It’s spread by contact with certain bodily fluids of a person with HIV
- most commonly during unprotected sex (sex without a condom or HIV medicine to prevent or treat HIV)
- Through sharing injection drug equipment.
- Untreated, HIV can lead to the disease AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the most severe phase of HIV infection.
People with AIDS have such badly damaged immune systems that they get an increasing number of severe illnesses. Without treatment, people with AIDS typically survive about three years.

About 700 women die each year in the United States as a result of pregnancy or delivery related complications. According to the CDC, A pregnancy-related death is defined “as the death of a woman during pregnancy or within one year of the end of pregnancy from a pregnancy complication, a chain of events initiated by pregnancy, or the aggravation of an unrelated condition by the physiologic effects of pregnancy.”
The maternal death rate among black women was 37.1 deaths per 100,000 live births, a rate up to three times the rates for non-Hispanic white and Hispanic women. Rates are actually climbing and in some cities up to 12% higher mortality

The term PH means high blood pressure in the lungs. This is not to be confused with “regular” systemic hypertension -that can be measured with a blood pressure cuff. In PH, the blood vessels specifically in the lungs are affected. They can become stiff, narrow and even damaged. This makes the right side of the heart work harder to pump blood through the lungs.
In this episode we discuss what pulmonary hypertension is, the signs and systems, risk factors that are associated with this disease process, and treatments.

As Nurses we are taught about medication administration, and the 5 rights. We are also taught to hold our nursing license in high regard. We as nurses should always strive to help and never harm our patients. Unfortunately, there are factors that can hinder proper medication administration and nursing judgement. Not all medical errors originate from nurses but come from doctors as well.
Why do medical errors occur? There are several reasons, beginning with transcription difficulties to administration errors. We go over these in detail in this podcast.
We also talk about the story of Kim Hiatt, and how medication errors can affect more than just the patient. Nurses are expected to use their “nursing judgement” for many situations that arise on the floor. Nurses must ask questions. Medications are used “off- label” for a variety of situations, however, it can still be evidence based data that has been proven to be safe and effective. If you don’t know, you need to ask.
It is estimated that preventable medication errors impact more than 7 million patients and cost almost $21 billion annually across all care settings. If more healthcare workers actually reported errors and near misses, then data would be more reliable. With reliable data, systems could be put into place to help prevent errors in the future.

GMOh! (Genetically Modified Organisms)
Think that you don’t eat genetically modified foods? Think again! Many foods on the shelves contain something that has been genetically modified. Maybe you didn’t know this, we sure didn’t until researching this topic. In this episode we discuss the pros and cons of GMOs and how genetic modifications impacts the foods we eat.
According to a Forbes Article, nature is already making changes to food which is considered transgenic. This means that there is DNA from other plants making their way into our foods, naturally. Even organic foods contain these transgenic modifications. Would we consider these GMOs differently than the ones made in labs? Make sure you think twice, as beer, tea, peanuts and bananas are some of the few items on this growing list of transgenic foods
Ever wonder what a home DNA test kit is all about? What to expect and the type of results it will show? In this episode we will have a guest speaker discussing their experience with their recently completed, at home DNA kit and share their results with our listeners. We discuss our guest speaker’s personal reasons for wanting to complete a home DNA test kit, testing instructions along with website commitment on delivery time and result time turn-around, and the test results. This test kit included ancestry composition, physical traits, taste traits, weird and wonderful characteristics and family connections in the Ancestry + Traits Service package.

Did you know that human DNA is 98% comparable to a chimpanzee and about 50% similar to a banana? This sounds absolutely crazy but it’s true, thanks to the research from the Human Genome Project and genetic engineering has provided.
The Human Genome Project has mapped human DNA, making it possible to to study the abnormal sequences found in genetic disorders. Genetic engineering and the discovery of CRISPR-CAS9 has made it easier, faster and more affordable to cut and edit genetic diseases and replace them with a new or different code. The scientific discovery is amazing. Imagining a world in which cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, and sickle cell disease or HIV/AIDS can be prevented and/or eradicated is mindblowing. Unfortunately, even though this new technology is an advancement in medical science, some will and may have abused it.
Biohackers have been known to attempt to modify animals and themselves with a variety of technologies, and CRISPR-Cas9 has been added to their repertoire of tools. Most times these biohackers can self-educate from the world wide web and experiment in their kitchens and garages.
From malaria resistant mosquitoes to gene edited human twin girls, the consequences of genetically engineered and altered DNA is still unknown in the long term. Can we make real superheroes with this technology? So if we put this SuperHuman together with the seven genes identified, it would be a person with bones so hard, they don’t break easily, with insensitivity to pain, who could bend or stretch in most directions, they would have optimal hearing, vision and speed, with a brain like a human calculator!
Stem cells are the foundation cells for all organs and tissues. Stem cells are a single cell that can replicate or become a specialized cell. But to better understand stem cells we kind-of have to go back to our last episode and pick up at the beginning of IVF, in vitro fertilization.
Where do stem cells come from? Embryos, Adult stem cells, iPS (induced pluripotent stem cells), Multipotent stem cells.
Stem cells may have the potential to be grown to become new tissue for use in transplant and regenerative medicine. Researchers continue to advance the knowledge on stem cells and their applications in transplant and regenerative medicine. People who might benefit from stem cell therapies include those with spinal cord injuries, type 1 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, stroke, burns, cancer and osteoarthritis.
FDA Warning; U.S. Food and Drug Administration is concerned that some patients seeking cures and remedies are vulnerable to stem cell treatments that are illegal and potentially harmful. The FDA regulates stem cell products in the United States. FDA may take (and has already taken) a variety of administrative and judicial actions, for those who illegally obtain and practice stem cell research.

This episode on The Nursing Post Podcast, we discuss the basics of DNA, how DNA has changed and growing into an era of Designer Babies.
From blood type in the 1920’s, to advance in the 1970 to today’s home DNA kits. Medical science and DNA testing and technological advances have come a long way.
Today, Genetic disorders can be mapped,being used in medical research. Families can trace family lineage with genealogy and genetics. DNA fingerprinting is being used at crime scenes, in cold cases, and to exonerate those wrongfully convicted.
What happens when medical advances clash with medicine’s ethical opinions? From the mapping of the Human Genome in the 1990’s to the future of “designer babies”, Will we be ordering babies off of menus and will only the elite, 1% have the option?
Please join the conversation and leave us your thoughts on designer babies and advancements in DNA.

Welcome to The Nursing Post podcast: all nursing, all the time with Ashley Moore and Rosa Horsley. This episode is about Alzheimers, and even though a lot of awareness has been brought to the forefront of Alzheimer’s there is still a lot to learn. Our goal is always to inform, help and start conversation.
It’s been said that Alzheimer’s is harder on the family then it is on the patient. As a nurse, I feel that’s a pretty fair assessment but not the whole picture. In the beginning, it’s very difficult on the patient and as the disease progresses I feel as though it’s harder on the patient’s loved ones and caregivers.
