Nurses in Media Day 2023

Thank you to our sponsors Working Nurse & Nurse.org!!

Welcome back to our second and highly sought-after Nurses in Media Day! We're bringing back some of our favorite self-made, nurses plus new media and communications experts in this 3-part conference. Our speakers and panelists will discuss the impact of policy and culture on nurses' opportunities to be in media, share their personal journeys, experiences, and success stories, as well as offer mini-media trainings to help individuals and nursing organizations alike become leaders in the digital healthcare space.

As we know, nurses' voices are underrepresented in public and political conversations. We're featured as sources in only 2% of all healthcare coverage compared to 18% of physicians. This training will help our members and media-seeking healthcare professionals learn from the best!
