This is a podcast where Nurse Practitioners come together to share, discuss challenges, and inspire. The goal of this podcast is to bring NPs together and build a community in a profession that often can feel isolating. We are here to learn more about NPs working in Canada, why they do what they do, what they love about their jobs, and what inspires them to continue doing the work they do.
7 // Professional Development, Coworkers, and Acute Care
Join Michelle and I as we discuss working as an NP in one of Winnipeg's acute care facilities, some of the challenges that come with the job, and things she does for professional development.
