About this listen

Real Nurse Stories emerged as a tribute to nurses during the 2020 International Year of the Nurse and Midwife, honouring Florence Nightingale's 200th anniversary. Our mission was to empower nurses by providing a platform for them to share their journeys and find solidarity in their challenges. Going beyond recognition, we aimed to modernise the image of nursing careers, highlighting the diverse opportunities available today. This served two crucial goals: educating the public about the demanding training nurses undergo and offering new graduates valuable career insights.Eva Storey Nurse Coach Career Success Economics
