Pulse Check with Archer Nursing

In this episode, Dr. Morgan Taylor breaks down meningitis—a high-risk, high-priority emergency you absolutely need to recognize quickly on exams and in clinical practice. 
You’ll start with a classic NCLEX-style scenario: a college student with sudden severe headache, fever, stiff neck, and photophobia. From there, Dr. Taylor walks you through the anatomy of the meninges (dura, arachnoid, pia), what happens inside the subarachnoid space, and why inflammation in a closed skull leads to increased intracranial pressure and decreased cerebral perfusion. 
If you’re studying for exams, preparing for clinical, or working in the ED, this episode will help you confidently recognize and prioritize one of the most time-sensitive infectious emergencies in nursing.

In this episode, Dr. Morgan Taylor sits down with experienced family nurse practitioner, Hiva Kolodrubetz, to have an honest discussion about the nurse practitioner role—what it really looks like, who it’s right for, and how to know if (and when) you’re ready to take that step.
Together, they unpack the growing pressure many nurses feel to “just go to NP school,” why that mindset can be risky, and how role clarity, planning, and quality education matter far more than speed or titles. 
Perfect for nursing students, bedside nurses, future NPs, and anyone questioning their next step in nursing. Tune in to gain clarity, confidence, and perspective before making a big career move.
