In this episode of the Love n’ Leary Nursing Podcast, Marion Leary and Rebecca Love announce the podcast’s new partnership with Nurse.org and reflect on how this milestone represents the power of saying yes to opportunity. They revisit the early conversations that sparked the show, including imposter syndrome and career uncertainty, and connect those experiences to the broader responsibility of nurse leadership. The discussion explores advocacy, the importance of nurses using their voices with confidence, and how storytelling, policy engagement, and diverse communication platforms can expand nursing influence. Together, Marion and Rebecca emphasize how nurses can shape public narratives, strengthen the profession, and drive meaningful change across healthcare.

Nurses have the skills and knowledge to run for office and just by virtue of our education and experience, we are ready to govern. In this episode of the Love n' Leary podcast, we invited our colleague Dr. Danielle McCamey to join in the conversation, discussing our respective experiences going through the Healing Politics Campaign School for Nurses and Midwives. Healing Politics is an educational, non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)3 organization whose mission to inspire, motivate, recruit, & train nurses & midwives to run for elected office. Rebecca Love attended the program in 2023, Dr. McCamey attended in 2024, and Dr. Marion Leary attended the program in 2025.

Today, on the Love n' Leary podcast, we are raising awareness among nurses and other providers about the risks of DEHP in IV bags and other medical devices. **This episode is sponsored by B.

In our first live, roaming podcast, we talk with nurse entrepreneurs and innovators at the AONL (https://www.aonl.org/) Nurse Innovation Showcase. Building on the theme, we showcase their companies and discuss why they felt compelled to take the leap (and risk) to fill a gap and create a healthcare start-up company.

In our first live podcast recording from the AONL Nurse Hack 4 Health Innovation Sprint, we talk with colleagues from Johnson & Johnson and SONSIEL as well as nurse leaders from around the country about the importance of supporting nurses as innovators.

We are back! On this new episode of the Love n' Leary podcast, we discuss the new administration and the tangible ways you can use your voice and power to stand up for the future of the nation.
