As newly retired nurses, we continue our passion for helping the public understand the scope, challenges, and rewards of contemporary nursing practice, using the lived experiences of point of care nurses. In Season 1 we spoke with nurses making change with challenges of social concern, such as Indigenous health, the toxic drug poisoning crisis, planetary health, public health and the pandemic, and challenges in acute care.
In Season 2, we are speaking with nurses in positions of influence provincially, in B.C., nationally, in Canada, and internationally. Season 2 is available now!
Betty retired in 2013 after a career in nursing that spanned almost 50 years in multiple areas of practice. Her love through it all was engaging in mentorship relationships with the next generations of nurses. In her retirement she is engaged in volunteer work in her community all related to health, social justice and making change. When RaeAnn suggested doing a podcast she jumped at the chance to collaborate with her friends and former colleagues.
