Detail

In this Insight from Episode 105: Fostering Kids Fostering Families, nurse and former foster youth Sharrica Miller, PhD, RN, illustrates how lived experience enriches nursing practice. Drawing on her journey through the foster system, she’s creating programs that meet the physical, emotional, and practical needs of foster youth while empowering them to advocate for themselves. Her story reminds us that every nurse’s life experience offers valuable insight, and that caring for the whole person means addressing the barriers that stand between health, belonging, and opportunity.

We're all speaking from experience and showing the youth how to really make changes and how to use their voice and their personal lived experience to really highlight the changes that need to be made.
