The Gritty Nurse

The Gritty Nurse is back, and NO TOPIC is off-limits! Launching in September 2025 with host Amie Archibald Varley, this podcast is dedicated to amplifying the voices of nurses and others who work in healthcare to explore the most pressing issues they face. Join Amie as she continues to take a deep dive into powerful and often uncomfortable topics. Though shared experriences, storytelling and the discussions surrounding the intersection of power, we will navigate the challenges facing healthcare nationally and internationally--as of course--challenge the status quo. The show's core belief remains unwavering: that compassion is the through understanding diverse narratives and perspectives is KEY. Amie will continue to explore hot-button issues like mental health, social justice, women's health, and the daily challenges within the nursing profession. The Gritty Nurse is more than just a podcast—it's a community where nurses and healthcare workers can feel heard, empowered, and recognized as the community leaders they truly are. Change is HERE.

Ep. 20 No Pain, No Gain? Pain Management and Common Healthcare Injuries with Dr. Lou Nalli

May 21, 2020

In this episode, we chat with Dr. Lou Nalli of the "PinPoint Health Show" and "The Lou Down" Podcast on common injuries that nurses encounter as part of shift work.

We discuss long term solutions, the importance of a diagnosis, and things you can do to build strength and mobility. We also look at the impact of chronic physical ailments, the mind-body connection and sleep issues.

The Gritty Nurses aren't spring chickens anymore and need to take care of our bodies! Small sustainable changes are key.
