This new book is a compilation of the beautiful and powerful stories of the challenges, glories, triumphs, defeats, resiliency, growth, and discovery these influential Latina nurses share about their inspiring journeys. Join us for a conversation about Latinas in the nursing profession and what they deserve: support and resources for growth; opportunities to continue to improve nursing and healthcare and increased and strengthened resources for robust pipelines and support systems to increase and retain the number of Latinas in nursing, nursing leadership, and nursing academia, across the U.S. and eventually, across the world.
