The Control Group: A Forensic Nursing Journal Club Podcast
by Kalen Knight, Laci Smith, Jenifer Markowitz
The Control Group: A Forensic Nursing Journal Club Podcast brings sharp minds, clinical curiosity, and just the right amount of skepticism to the world of forensic nursing research. Hosted by three forensic nursing colleagues, this podcast takes a practical, entertaining dive into the latest literature shaping the care of patients impacted by violence. Each episode, the team dissects a research article with equal parts rigor and personality—breaking down study design, statistics, clinical relevance, courtroom utility, and the occasional methodological disaster. From strong evidence to questionable conclusions, nothing escapes review. Whether you’re a practicing forensic nurse, educator, student, researcher, or simply someone who loves evidence-based healthcare with a little edge, The Control Group delivers journal club energy without the academic haze. Expect thoughtful analysis, clinical takeaways, statistical side-eye, and plenty of moments where the hosts ask, “Wait…they measured what?” Because in forensic nursing, vibes are welcome—but evidence is required.
