Inside the Hive
The Official Podcast of HIVENurse!
HIVENurse was co-founded by practicing nurses who understand the realities of the profession. Alongside faculty, mentors, and advisors, we’re building a platform shaped by nurses, for nurses.
Nurses are navigating burnout, staffing strain, and professional isolation. Traditional CE often feels like a checkbox — disconnected from real practice or growth. HIVENurse changes that by bringing professional development + authentic community together in one place.
- Mission: To empower every nurse with meaningful professional development and authentic community connection that advance growth, well-being, and practice.
- Vision: To be the Hive where nurses worldwide come together to learn, lead, and thrive — shaping the future of nursing through knowledge, connection, and shared purpose.
