055: Nursing the Human Spirit With Sarah Morse
Nursing the Human Spirit
Are you one of the few fortunate people whose profession became their passion? In the world of nursing, care is not just about the sick, nursing the human spirit is also a significant duty that nurses heed.
However, not all nurses will be ready to embark on life-changing journeys. These are often filled with uncomfortable situations and the first-hand experience of impoverished medical management.
In this week’s episode of High Performance Nursing, I have a wonderful conversation with Sarah Morse. She has over 20 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and a champion of Humanitarian actions. She is also a highly sought-after motivational speaker who inspires a culture of courage in the workplace.
Her deep commitment to nursing has led her to experience working in countries with deprived healthcare systems. These enlightening encounters made her realise that not everyone in the world is given the same privilege she enjoys.
In her journey filled with humanitarian efforts, Sarah learned valuable insights and acknowledged the fact that her nursing career isn’t confined within hospital walls. She’s capable of giving care and nursing the human spirit wherever in the world she may be.
Sarah’s nursing career gave her awareness of what other people are going through, and discover her true self. If you want to know more about where your nursing profession can take you, this episode is for you.
