Why We Care: The Nursing Career Podcast
Welcome to Why We Care, the nursing career podcast from the people of Cygnet Health Care. We created this podcast to help and inspire nurses with advice, insights into working practices, and stories from our staff, service users, and patients. We called this podcast Why We Care because caring for others is at the heart of nursing. It truly is a life changing career. Thanks for listening, it means a lot to us.
