On episode 483 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Dr. Janette Moreno, an author, coach, poet, and nurse leader whose first book, "Human Caring through Healing Haiku: Mindful Journaling for Healthcare Providers", was created out of her passion and commitment to the nursing profession.

In the course of their conversation, Keith and Dr. Moreno discuss her journey with the poetic form of expression known as Haiku, her training as a Caritas Coach under the tutelage of Dr. Jean Watson, and her vision of how nurses can reclaim joy and wellness through thoughtful self-reflection.
