Episode 108: Investing in Nurses! Leadership & Care Transformation

66 min listen

Urgent Need for Increased Nursing Investment

Despite a widespread recognition of the urgent need for substantial investment in nursing, the American Nurses Foundation’s Philanthropic Support for the Nursing Profession report alarmingly reveals that nursing receives just one penny of every healthcare philanthropy dollar. This stark underfunding highlights the necessity for a radical shift in how resources are allocated within our health and care systems.

Exploring Creative and Strategic Nursing Investments

In the third and final episode of our series featuring unscripted conversations with philanthropists, fundraisers, and innovators, we delve into creative, strategic, and evidence-based methods to empower nurses as pivotal agents of systemic change in health systems. Our discussions with Marion Leary, PhD, MPH, RN, Howard Reid, and Ahrin Mishan shed light on the transformative potential of strategic investments in nursing.

The Impact of Leadership and Innovation Programs on Nursing

We explore a range of groundbreaking initiatives like the Hillman Foundation’s nurse innovation grants, Johnson & Johnson’s Nursing Innovation Fellowship, and NurseHack4Health. These programs are not just enhancing career growth and longevity but are also crucial in preparing nurses to assume leadership roles across healthcare institutions and public policy. The insights shared by our guests emphasize the powerful impact of these investments on advancing healthcare access, quality, and equity.
