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

Published: Jan. 7, 2024, midnight

b'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 The 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. Join 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.
