PsychNP Cast Ed Stern

Dre Ceja (They/Them) joins us to talk about easy things we can do to provide affirming care for our transgender and non-binary patients. We will discuss simple changes you and staff can make when working with patient's pronouns, avoiding gender errors, understanding simple terms, and remembering that it doesn't always have to be about gender care.

Meet Rochelle Perry PMHNP (rdperry05241@gmail.com) to learn about how she's worked with her son on his use of Long-Acting Injectables (LAIs) and how she uses them in her outpatient settings. There is a lot of strong clinical evidence that this patient care pathway helps and it's very easy, with low barriers to us providing it right in our office. Learn more about that... listen and enjoy.

This is a 2 part episode. Part 2: Lucie Fielding and Ed Stern talk about the clinical intersections of trans sexualities and erotic embodiments. We cover a variety of aspects of clinically supporting and affirming the transgender community. We also chat about sex and sexuality in an open and frank, but professional way (maybe the little ones around you might want to listen to something else). We give our audience a stronger understanding of their approach to care for the transgender community.

We talk with Melanie Martin,  DNP, PMHNP, FNP-BC about grief and loss in this episode. We approach the discussion from a number of different directions and even chat about the approach to patient care from the eye of Dr Diet, Dr Quiet and good old Dr Merryman. DR. Martin also shares her personal struggle with a dramatic loss, and how this personal experience has led her to join us in the mental health community.

Shellie Baird is a Psych Nurse, Psych NP student, and the mother of a transgender daughter. Shelli has a lot to share with us. Her professional experience in psych nursing taught her a lot. It taught her to accept patients for who and what they are. She also has a daughter who was identified as male at birth. You're going to hear from this expert about her discovery, her journey and she's going to share some insights to help you work with our transgender patients.
