This week, Colton is hanging out with two absolute powerhouses, Rebecca Love and Shannon Lunn, to talk about how nurses are finally getting a seat at the table when it comes to healthcare innovation. They’re diving into the Nurse Pavilion at HLTH and the very first nurse-led hackathon, where all those “what if” ideas we’ve had at the bedside can actually come to life. From napkin sketches to real prototypes, Rebecca and Shannon share how nurses are turning frustrations into solutions—and proving that we have what it takes to change the future of healthcare. Whether you’re curious about starting something of your own, want to link up with other nurse leaders, or just need a little inspo to keep going, this convo is one you don’t want to miss.
