About The Hosts and 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!
Season 2 Hosts!
We are delighted by the enthusiastic response, with over 100 candidates applying to join the podcast. After carefully tallying all the votes, the nursing community has spoken! Here are the top 10 nurses who received the most votes and will record a podcast episode for Nurse Converse Season 2!
- Joshua Condado
- Everett Moss II, DNP, CRNA, CCRN, NRP
- Shannon Jackson, The People’s Nurse
- Joscel James, RN CPR LOL HYFR
- Ama Mathewos
- Colton Lord
- Jeri Ford
- Dr. Gabrielle Abelard
- Jana Alley
- Melanie Gomez
During the application process, we had some stellar topic pitches from nurses who didn't make the top 10, but our team believed these stories should be shared with the nursing community. After carefully reviewing each proposed topic, we've decided to include these additional nurses in Nurse Converse Season 2! They'll be recording their own podcast episodes, or collaborating with each other, to share their unique perspectives and experiences.
