Building Borders, Bridging Resilience with Dr. Arnold Tariga

Welcome to the very first episode of Mindful Moments. To kick things off, Pedro Morante sits down with the compassionate and inspiring Dr. Jose Arnold Tariga, a transformational nurse educator and professional development leader whose heart for helping internationally educated nurses (IENs) goes far beyond the classroom. In this intimate conversation, they explore how nurse educators can be pillars of mental and emotional support for IENs as they adjust to new systems, cultures, and personal pressures. Dr. Tariga also opens up about a deeply personal journey through grief—and how, in the process of healing, he found strength, purpose, and renewed empathy for others. This episode is a gentle reminder that through support, mentorship, and shared humanity, we can all rise—especially in our most vulnerable moments. 🎙️ Whether you’re a nurse, educator, or someone navigating your own healing journey, there’s something here for you. #MindfulMomentsPodcast #PedroMorante #NurseEducators #MentalHealthSupport #DrArnoldTariga #GriefToGrowth #NursingJourney #HealingAndHelping #IENSupport
