This episode digs into the disconnect between the public’s perception of nursing and the reality of what nurses know, do, and shoulder every day. Guest Sarah DeGregorio, author the books “EARLY: An Intimate History of Premature Birth and What it Teaches Us About Being Human” and “Taking Care: The Story of Nursing and Its Power to Change Our World,” shares insights from her reporting on nursing, including why nurses are often left out of media conversations, how this invisibility fuels moral distress, and what happens when stories that should be told never reach the public.
