No spin. No scripts...sometimes. Just the truth behind the systems - and how YOU can make them better.

Nurses Week 2026 | Respect, Rights & Most Difficult Diagnoses | The Power of Nurses!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In honor of National Nurses Week 2026, Angie Graham sits down for a powerful conversation about what families need to know when a loved one enters a hospital, nursing home, assisted living, or memory care setting.
This year’s Nurses Week theme is “The Power of Nurses,” and this episode shows exactly why that matters.
Angie is joined by Stacey Sis, Vice President of Nursing at Our House Senior Living, and Lori Nardin, Vice President of Regulatory Compliance, for a real, honest, and deeply practical talk about care, advocacy, resident rights, family expectations, and the emotional weight nurses carry every day.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• What families often misunderstand about power of attorney
• Why resident rights still matter, even when families want safety
• What to look for when touring assisted living or nursing home communities
• How to advocate without becoming “that family”
• What nurses wish families would share about their loved ones
• Why yelling at nurses helps absolutely no one, a wild concept
• How dementia, delirium, pain, skin care, and end-of-life care affect daily nursing work
• What strong care culture feels like when you walk through the door
This conversation is for families, caregivers, nurses, care teams, and anyone trying to make better choices for someone they love.
If you are the family point person, the one asking questions, making decisions, and trying to keep everyone calm, this episode is for you.
And to every nurse listening: thank you for being the steady ones.
