We also reveal the origin story of the Amplify Nursing podcast.
    This was a very fun episode to record. We hope you enjoy it.

Nurses, Tune In!

What makes the Amplify Nursing podcast different is that it’s a great place for nurses to share their stories and talk about the work that they do each day. The hosts, Marion Leary and Angelarosa DiDonato are both amazing nurses who have a lot of nurse-career and experiences to share. I always learn something new when I listen to their podcasts because of the variety of nurses that are profiled here. If you're a nurse, you definitely need to check out this podcast to learn how others are leading in their spaces!

Defining What So Many of Us Do!

The guests have really been able to shine a spotlight on the myriad ways that nurses innovate, whether we realize it or not. From someone who couldn’t find the help for researching his questions at a rural community college or the Innovation Director for a major medical center who found nursing because she came from humble means and it was a quicker way into healthcare than medicine, this show is full of non-traditional and clever minds. Host & nurse innovator Marion Leary is one of those minds so she knows which questions to ask; She’s as curious as we are.

Season 4 excitement!

I just listened to the 1st episode of Season 4 and I feel so motivated! I’ve been a nurse for about 8 years now and always thought about going into research. This episode is inspiring and I can’t wait to learn about other nurses that are innovating and changing healthcare for the better!
