A Healthy Dose of Perspective in Nursing with Paula Leweke | ETS05
Manage episode 325700536 series 2875373
The value of taking the journey back through nursing history and exploring international health care allows us to take a step back and find hope in the present and reconnect with our passion for nursing. The current climate and conditions of our health care system can feel very bleak and hopeless, but we can continue to look for the light in all the small experiences that keep us coming back through those doors. Perspective is a valuable resource and Paula is here to give us a healthy dose to keep us fighting the good fight.
