Let’s talk about workplace culture
A good workplace culture has many components. This week Phil and I chat about what we find effective in fostering positive workplaces and where we think there may be opportunities for improvement.
Let’s talk about international nursing
This week Phil and I are joined by Eleanor, an Irish trained RN. Eleanor spent several frustrating and expensive years pursuing her Canadian nursing registration. Although the system has reportedly improved this process, Eleanor’s story is one that will leave no doubt on why a change was needed.
Let’s talk about burnout
On this episode Phil and I chat about the mass exodus of nurses from the profession. We discuss the rapid burnout of new nurses and what we see as potential explanations. Redefining burnout from a mid and end career concern to a new nurse problem is worth further investigation as it leaves all of us working short.
Let’s get to know each other
This week Phil and I take some time to get to know each other a bit better as nurses. We dig a little deeper into the things we like, don’t like, and hope to never have to do again as nurses.
Let’s talk about becoming a nurse practitioner
This week Phil and I chat with Taran about her road to becoming a nurse practitioner. Taran shares all the helpful tips on pursuing the NP role as well as what a day in the life looks like. Join us as we get the inside scoop on becoming an NP.

Let’s Talk about Staffing Shortages
Safe staffing ratios is a topic that has come up in nearly every conversation so far on Working Short and today we will be continuing that conversation. From working short, to not having enough nurses in the province, to waitlists to get into nursing school, and more, there is a clear shortage amongst all of these and it affects more than just nurses, it affects everyone in BC.
Let’s Talk about Changing Roles
Nursing can be a fitting career choice for many, but what happens and what options are there for when you want a change in your career?
This week, we are talking with Carly Morrison, a registered nurse who started her nursing career as an oncology nurse, but has since become a travel nurse and traveled to many remote areas of Canada to be a nurse.
A career in nursing can bring a lot of opportunities, and you don’t have to stay with just one if you want to change roles.
