Guest: Jen Hamilton, RN

Labor and Delivery nurses influence the birth experience in powerful ways, from the words they choose at the bedside to the advocacy they provide during some of the most meaningful and vulnerable moments in a patient’s life. In this episode, Jen Hamilton, RN, joins us to talk about nursing, patient advocacy, education, and the importance of helping patients feel informed, respected and supported.

Known for connecting with broad audiences through social media and storytelling, Jen brings a fresh and relatable perspective on how nurses can bridge the gap between clinical care and public understanding. This conversation explores the impact of communication, trust, humor, autonomy, and compassion in maternity care, and reminds listeners why the nurse’s voice matters both at the bedside and beyond.
