The SEE YOU NOW podcast highlights real people changing the status quo in health, with a specific focus on the contributions of nurses. Hosted by nurse economist and health technology specialist Shawna Butler, the podcast provides meaningful conversations with nurses at the forefront of healthcare and innovation, covering a wide range of topics.
The podcast is created in collaboration with Johnson & Johnson and the American Nurses Association, and it aims to share the human-centered solutions of nurses who are addressing today’s healthcare challenges through innovation. Each episode offers insights into the work of nurse innovators, nurse allies, and other leaders in health creation, showcasing their unique programs, devices, technologies, protocols, and treatment approaches.
The 100th episode of the “SEE YOU NOW” podcast features Virginia Allen, LPN, the last known living Black Angel, who was part of a group of Black nurses recruited from the Jim Crow South. Their efforts led to a cure for tuberculosis, a disease responsible for nearly 18% of New York City deaths in the early 1900s. The Black Angels risked their lives working under dreadful conditions while caring for the city’s poorest and played a major role in desegregating New York City hospitals, nursing practice, education, and professional associations, including the American Nurses Association. In this episode, recorded live at the 2023 DNPs of Color conference, Virginia Allen and Maria Smilios, author of the book “The Black Angels: The Untold Story of the Nurses who Helped Cure Tuberculosis,” share their story with the creators of Nurses You Should Know, Joanna Seltzer Uribe and Ravenne Aponte, inspiring the next generation of nursing innovators and trailblazers.
