    Episode 54: Why One Graduate Chose Nursing Over Silicon Valley
    Nov 20 2025
    Miguel Bustos Bismonte made a bold pivot —leaving a high-tech career at the center of innovation to pursue nursing. He wasn’t stepping away from progress; he was redefining it. Drawn to a field where science, systems thinking, and human connection intersect, he saw nursing as the next frontier for real-world impact. Now a Johns Hopkins School of Nursing graduate, Miguel applies the same analytical mindset that once shaped cutting-edge technology to the complexities of health care. His story, featured on the On The Pulse podcast, explores how nurses are expanding the boundaries of innovation and shaping the future of care.
