Join hosts Natalie Pleiman (Cincinnati Children’s Hospital) and Laura Valido (Nationwide Children’s Hospital) as we explore the question: Is bedside nursing really just a stepping stone? In this episode of the PCICS Nursing Podcast, we challenge that narrative and rebrand bedside nursing as a powerful, lifelong career. Hear how a CICU bedside nurse, Becka Lyons co-leads an international partnership in Zambia, using clinical insight, education, and relationship-building to help launch a new cardiac intensive care program. This conversation explores untapped potential, global impact, and why growth doesn’t have to mean leaving the bedside. If you’re ready to rethink what’s possible in nursing, this episode is for you.

Hosts: Laura Valido, BSN RN (Nationwide Children’s Hospital); Natalie Pleiman, MSN RN (Cincinnati Children’s Hospital)
