Vital Views is a weekly podcast created by UNLV School of Nursing to discuss health care from a Rebel Nursing perspective. We share stories and expert information on both nursing-specific and broader healthcare topics to bring attention to the health trends and issues that affect us.

Vital Views also sheds insight into the world of nursing, from career opportunities, depth of the work, and what makes it among the most trusted professions in the country.  In 2022, Vital Views received a Pinnacle Award for podcasting from the Las Vegas Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America.
