    Invisibly Allergic with author Zoe Slaughter
    May 11 2026
    Invisible doesn't mean harmless, and Zoë Slaughter is done letting people pretend otherwise. Zoë Slaughter joins Nurse Rosa for a candid conversation about living with food allergies, navigating a complex healthcare system, and building an advocacy movement through storytelling and policy action. Zoë shares her personal journey from childhood food allergies to adult advocacy, breaking down how community support groups form, why misconceptions about food allergies persist, and what the latest research on early food introduction means for prevention. She also gets into the real financial burden of managing food allergies, including what she calls the "food allergy tax," and makes the case for free, universal access to epinephrine. The conversation also touches on the power of documentary film and graphic content in health education, and how everyday people can move from awareness to action, locally and at the federal level. In This Episode: Zoë's background in healthcare claims and subrogation Childhood vs. adult-onset food allergies Coping strategies and lifestyle adjustments Recent research breakthroughs in allergy prevention Her book Invisibly Allergic and its advocacy mission The "food allergy tax" and the "pink tax" on allergen-friendly products Using documentary film and storytelling to shift public perception How to get involved in allergy advocacy, from local meetups to Capitol Hill Resources Mentioned: Invisibly Allergic by Zoë Slaughter (Amazon) invisiblyallergic.com May Contain My Life documentary congress.gov Connect with Zoë: Instagram @invisiblyallergic Nurse Rosa's INsights is a nurse-led healthcare leadership and innovation podcast hosted by Rosa Hart, RN, available on the Health Podcast Library, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms.

  • Building Interoperability with Sandra Johnson

    Building Interoperability with Sandra Johnson
    May 4 2026
    What would you do with a billion dollars to fix healthcare? For Sandra Johnson, SVP of Client Services at CliniComp, the answer is clear: solve interoperability, once and for all. Rosa Hart sits down with Sandra to unpack one of healthcare's most persistent problems, fragmented data environments that slow clinicians down, create gaps in patient care, and quietly fuel burnout across health systems. Sandra brings 25 years of healthcare IT experience to a candid conversation about why interoperability is so hard to crack, what it takes to design technology that actually works for clinicians, and how CliniComp's System as a Service model is shifting the burden of implementation away from health systems so they can focus on what matters most. In this episode: Why interoperability remains healthcare's most foundational unsolved challenge How fragmented data contributes to clinician burnout and care gaps What vendor-agnostic interoperability means and why health systems need it How CliniComp's System as a Service model removes the implementation burden from clinical teams Why workflow integration is the real key to making data meaningful at the point of care Guest: Sandra Johnson, CDH-E, SVP of Client Services, CliniComp 🔗 linkedin.com/in/sandra-johnson-cdh-e-a96b9a CliniComp: clinicomp.com Connect with Nurse Rosa: Follow Nurse Rosa's INsights in the Health Podcast Library Get the Book: Speak Up, Start Now ( Nurses Week Gift of the Year) On social media: @NurseRosaSpeaks Nurse Rosa's INsights is part of the Health Podcast Library.

    Ep 75: Stop the Splash with Sarah Waimon, Nurse Inventor
    Apr 27 2026
    What happens when a nurse gets splashed in the face with biohazardous waste and decides to do something about it? She builds a company. In this episode Rosa Hart, RN, BSN, SCRN, sits down with Sarah Waimon, RN, BSN, CEO of Waimon Innovations Inc. and creator of Looey, a nurse-invented medical device designed to protect healthcare workers from hazardous splash-back during bedpan and ostomy care. Sarah shares her journey from 16 years of bedside nursing across medsurg, oncology, ICU, colorectal, and nursing supervision to becoming a nurse entrepreneur and medical device innovator. She breaks down the moment that changed everything, a contaminated splash to the face on a colorectal postoperative unit, and how it sparked the creation of Looey, a transparent shield that attaches to standard bedpan washers to contain biohazards and protect caregivers. This episode covers nurse entrepreneurship, nurse-led innovation, healthcare worker safety, infection control, and why nursing ideas are the future of medical device development. Topics covered: Nurse-invented medical devices and nurse entrepreneurship Occupational health and healthcare worker safety Infection control and biohazard exposure prevention Ostomy care and colorectal nursing Bedpan washer safety and splash-back prevention Nursing leadership and clinical innovation Mental health gaps in nursing education and patient care From bedside nurse to CEO: the nurse founder journey Connect with Sarah Waimon: Website: www.stopthesplash.com Instagram: @stop_the_splash LinkedIn Pre-order Looey: sarah@stopthesplash.com Connect with Nurse Rosa: Follow Nurse Rosa's INsights in the Health Podcast Library Get the Book: Speak Up, Start Now ( Nurses Week Gift of the Year) On social media: @NurseRosaSpeaks Nurse Rosa's INsights is your go-to podcast for nurses who are ready to lead, innovate, and speak up.
