In the course of their conversation, Keith and Dr. Clipper discuss the emerging technologies gearing up to have a profound impact on the healthcare industry, education, and career opportunities for nurses. From virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) to coding, app development, and natural language processing, nurses have a place in this brave new world, and can leverage their interest in technology in seeking cutting-edge positions in places where the expertise and knowledge of nurses are sorely needed. 

Dr. Clipper also advises listeners that once you’re a nurse, you’re always a nurse, and this is your superpower no matter what you decide to do with your career, even outside of the realm of direct patient care.
