Let’s Talk About the Intimate, but not Personal Role of a Nurse
In our final episode of Season 2, Phil and I have a cathartic conversation about the nurse role. Reflecting on the notion that nursing is both intimate, but also impersonal, we share stories and experiences of times where we needed to lean in and when we needed to take a step back. Join us as we allow ourselves to have an unscripted and genuine conversation about navigating the emotional and connected work that we do.

Let’s talk about Nursing in Ontario under Bill 124
Andrea is an emergency room nurse in Ontario where the pressures of nursing have reached a breaking point. In addition to the stress of working the front lines of the covid- 19 pandemic, Ontario nurses are also being told they will only receive a maximum of 1% wage increase under Premier Doug Ford’s wage-suppression legislation. Bill 124 is driving nurses out of the profession where retention and recruitment are already struggling.
Let’s Talk about Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)
The MAiD program aims to prevent unnecessary suffering for individuals facing end of life. As BC looks to expand MAiD to include mental health diagnoses it is important for nurses to understand their role and limitations when working with patients considering or planning to access the MAiD program. In this episode we chat with Dr. Lauren Kimball about her first hand experience in the provision of MAiD.
