We are short 263,000 nurses — and turning away 80,000 people who want to join the profession. So what's really going on?

In this episode, Dr. Reneé Roberts-Turner sits down with Dr. Roberta Waite, Dean of Georgetown University Berkley School of Nursing, for a candid conversation about what it actually takes to get into nursing, who gets to lead, and where the system breaks.

They get into the road to the deanship — and why it was never a straight line. The faculty shortage, the financial barriers, and the policy decisions quietly limiting who can access nursing education. What social structure has to do with who moves up in leadership. Why the status quo is the biggest threat to the profession. And why nurses have more power than they think.

Plus — Dr. Waite stays for Off the Charts. Her go-to treat, her theme song for nursing, and the one thing every nurse needs to know.
This is the conversation nursing needs.
