Conversations on HC: How Do We Get More Latinas Interested in Nursing?

Published: Jan. 7, 2024, midnight

Our guests were looking for a book that told real-life stories about Latinas in nursing, but they couldn\u2019t find one. So they took the job upon themselves and wrote their own book, titled \u201cLatinas in Nursing: Stories of Determination, Inspiration, and Trust.\u201d\n\nThe book is a compilation of the beautiful stories of the challenges, growth and discovery influential Latina nurses share about their journeys, including during the COVID pandemic. Right now, Hispanics make up 19% of the total U.S. population but only about 8% of registered nurses are Latina.\n\nJoin us as Tina Loarte-Rodr\xedguez and Zacnit\xe9 Vargas-Avalos bring their book to life in conversation with hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter.\n\nTo stream our Station live 24/7 visit www.HealthcareNOWRadio.com or ask your Smart Device to \u201c\u2026.Play Healthcare NOW Radio\u201d.\n\nFind all of our network podcasts on your favorite podcast platforms and be sure to subscribe and like us.
