When Experience Isn’t Enough: Learning Across Borders as an APN in Singapore
You’ve spent years becoming good at your job. Then you step into a role where that isn’t enough.
Michelle Segal-James is an advanced practice nurse (APN) in Singapore. I talks with her about what changes when you move beyond experienced nursing and into the NP role: how you think, how you make decisions, and what you have to let go of before you can build something new.
We also compare how Singapore and Australia approach advanced practice, and what each country can learn from the other.
It is a conversation about growth, uncertainty and being willing to start again.
For any nurse asking what comes next, and any NP still finding their feet. Tune in to this episode of NP in Progress

Corinne Dunningham:From Expert Nurse to Novice NP: Scope, Uncertainty and the Stuff We Don’t Say Out Loud
In this episode of NP In Progress, I sit down with Corinne Dunningham, emergency nurse practitioner and NP Masters coordinator, for one of my deepest and raw conversation since starting the podcast, we talk about the messy middle of becoming, and being a nurse practitioner.
We unpack the expert-to-novice transition, why endorsement is often “just admin”, what full scope practice really means, and why nurse practitioners need to stop justifying their existence and start building the evidence for what comes next. Corinne also breaks down clinical reasoning as the “how and why” behind decision-making, reframes feedback as advice, and speaks honestly about uncertainty, collaboration, nursing identity, and finding your confidence without pretending you have it all together.
This episode is for NP students, new NPs, educators, and anyone trying to practise safely in the grey while still backing themselves

Lesley Salem: No Knowledge Is Any Good Unless It's Shared
In this episode, I sit down with Lesley Salem, one of Australia’s first Indigenous Nurse Practitioners, for a raw and powerful conversation about culture, clinical reasoning, remote healthcare, and what it really means to serve people well.
Lesley shares how her culture shapes the way she connects with patients, why hierarchy damages care, and how simple human connection can break down fear and mistrust. We talk about remote primary healthcare, Aboriginal Medical Services, pathology-led diagnostic reasoning, rheumatic heart disease, Medicare barriers, and why Nurse Practitioners need access to full scope if Australia is serious about health equity.
This episode is also a masterclass in practical clinical reasoning. Lesley explains how she works backwards from abnormal pathology, how she thinks through differential diagnoses, and why anatomy and physiology sit at the centre of safe advanced practice.
It’s honest, political, clinical, and deeply human. A conversation about hope, access, advocacy, and the Nurse Practitioner role Australia still hasn’t fully learnt how to use.
