In Episode 17 of the 4NPs Podcast, we talk to Michele Persico — MSN, RN-BC, CCRN-CSC, and Director of Nursing Education & Professional Development at Northern Westchester Hospital — about the challenges (and rewards!) of her role as a nurse educator, the state of education for new nurses in the field, and her journey to finding a career she considers the "perfect marriage" of her two passions: nursing and teaching.

Healthcare Policy: Keep On Keeping On — Meet Stephen Ferrara!

We are Oneida, Colleen, Alicia and Christina. Four women who met in nursing school 17 years ago. We've been through it all: school, work, balancing life, relationships, children, new careers, more education, more new careers and now, this podcast. As nurses we are part of a sisterhood; as friends, we support each other through it all. We've learned the hard way that there isn't much support out there for new nurses/practitioners, so we decided to start this podcast to talk about it.
