Our Origin Stories into Nurse-led Innovation

There is nothing more important to the health and public health of our world than nurses using their voice, knowledge, and expertise to communicate reliable, fact-based information in the media. The speed at which health information is communicated is like nothing we have seen in the past; with social media and our 24-hour news cycle, we need expert nursing voices now more important than ever. But – even though nurses are considered the most trusted profession, again, for the 22nd year in a row, the field of nursing is rarely recognized by the public, journalists, or even social media sites as subject matter experts. This is why I am so excited to announce that The Nursing Beat is now the exclusive media partner of the Love n’ Leary podcast. The Nursing Beat is an online news site for nurses, by nurses, that includes short daily rundowns of the most important news and information impacting nurses. This partnership is so important because as nurses we have a critical role to play in how the media reports on health issues and public health policy and on what messages the public and policy makers receive. On this episode, we discuss why we need nurses in the media. We have this conversation with our first special guest, Barbara Glickstein, a public health nurse, health reporter, and media strategist. She talked with us about why nursing is so underrepresented in the media, how nurses can be more engaged with the journalists, and tips on how to become media competent.

Rebecca Love and Marion Leary talk about why it is vitally important for nurses to vote and be civically engaged. They discuss their fears for the upcoming 2024 Presidential election, why they strongly oppose a Trump presidency, and some of the troubling policies Trump has laid out in his Project 2025 plan (www.project2025.org).
