170: When to Refer vs When to Manage: A Primary Care Guide for NP Boards
Knowing when to refer and when to manage a patient yourself is one of the biggest clinical judgment skills you will build in primary care. It can also be a common source of confusion on NP boards, especially when referral feels like the safest answer. In this episode, Alex and I break down how to think through referral decisions using patient stability, red flags, scope of practice, and response to first-line treatment. We walk through primary care scenarios involving hypertension and diabetes to show why the same diagnosis may be managed in one situation and referred in another.

169: Recognizing Human Trafficking: What Every NP Should Know with Dr. Lauren Mays
Human trafficking is a healthcare issue, and many NPs do not feel fully prepared to recognize it in clinical practice. In this episode, I'm joined by NP educator Dr. Lauren Mays to discuss recognizing human trafficking, common misconceptions, and the important role healthcare providers play in supporting vulnerable patients. We discuss how trafficking signs often show up as more of a vague "something's not quite right here" feeling and what to do when this feeling comes up. Dr. Mays also shares some examples of common symptoms, how to create privacy and safety, and why our role is not to investigate or rescue, but to provide trauma-informed, patient-centered care.
