For the 100th episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, the tables are turned. Instead of leading the conversation, I hand the microphone to Cat, a registered veterinary nurse and Medical Nursing Academy student, who interviews me about career identity, internal medicine nursing, advocacy, and what the future of the profession could look like.

This episode is a celebration of far more than hitting 100 episodes. It reflects on how our nursing careers evolve, how our confidence is built through experience, and why we play such a vital (and often underestimated) role in internal medicine. I hope you enjoy this honest, vulnerable and reflective conversation, and that it helps you, no matter where you are in your veterinary nursing career.

In episode 99 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, join Zoe Hatfield (RVN, VTS in Neurology) and Laura Jones (RVN, VTS in Internal Medicine) as they discuss one of the most common neurological disorders seen in practice: Myasthenia gravis, or MG.

MG is a disorder of the neuromuscular junction causing significant weakness, megaoesophagus, regurgitation, aspiration and recumbency - and these patients need INTENSIVE nursing care to recover.

We're breaking down exactly what MG is, how it impacts our patients, and the skills we can use when caring for them, in this episode.
