    Dr. Snyder's viewpoints offer a fascinating and insightful dialogue. She emphasizes the significance of nursing education is centered around the community and technology and outlines the modifications required to cater to the needs of upcoming students as well as the struggling healthcare sector.

    Some key points they elaborate upon are:
    • The healthcare model should prioritize disease and injury prevention, not just treatment.
    • Nurses' roles and skills should be viewed differently on a global scale.
    • Nursing education should prioritize critical decision-making and interpersonal communication.
    • The advantages and disadvantages of online learning are discussed.
    • Telehealth has benefits for both providers and patients.
    • The challenges faced by first-generation and non-traditional college students are acknowledged.
    From start to finish, this episode is stuffed with interesting information and stories.

The gift consisted of a pair of starfish-shaped silver earrings, and the story behind it will warm your heart, so be sure to listen to the whole conversation. Adrianne expresses her sincere gratitude to Dr. Snyder for everything. If you’d like to connect with Dr. Snyder
