129: Investing in Nurses! Invisible to Invaluable

Nurses are the scaffolding of our nation's health, and the foundation of our shared humanity, yet their work is still too often treated as invisible. In this episode we ask, what does it truly mean to invest in nurses, and what's at stake if we fail to act?

Join host Oriana Beaudet, Vice President of Innovation at the American Nurses Association, Credentialing Center, and Foundation for a conversation with nurse leader Pam Cipriano, Immediate Past President of the International Council of Nurses and former President of the American Nurses Association, about why nursing has been systematically undervalued in the U.S., how that shapes policy, economics, and care delivery, and what must change if we are to build a healthier, more humane future.
