On this episode, Gideon makes an appeal for the retirement of the title "Midlevel." The words we choose and the language we use have the power to move the people and the world around us. Words represent beliefs, morals, prejudices, and principles—sometimes in ways that shape an audience's perceptions. The nursing community must insist on the proper title for a nurse practitioner and must persist in this fight to make change permanent. Take a listen and share your thoughts.

I became a nurse in 2007 and have had stints in the emergency department, medical intensive care unit, neuro intensive care unit, coronary care unit, post anesthesia care unit, electrophysiology lab, flight nursing in the U.S. Air Force, and clinical nursing instructorship. I served as an FDA drug investigator for four years. I am U.S. Air Force combat veteran and am currently on active duty as a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Public Health Service. My mission is to help nurses find their voice and thrive by providing helpful tips on matters ranging from resiliency to career advice on civilian and military nursing.
