About The Host Selection Process
Podcasts have opened up a world of possibilities for nurses to connect, learn, and inspire one another. At Nurse.org, we have long recognized the importance of fostering this sense of community and providing a platform for nurses to amplify their voices. That's why we recently ran a talent search aiming to find the next wave of influential nursing podcast hosts to join our platform.
The response we received was nothing short of overwhelming! We were inundated with a multitude of nursing professionals, each with a unique and inspiring story to tell. So, we decided to let the nursing community vote for the hosts they wanted to hear more from - all 12 hosts you hear in Season 1 of the podcast were chosen by the nurses!
