Ep 108 May #mentalHealth Awareness Month

Community Board PODCAST

In this new episode of the podcast, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with a student nurse practitioner, who shared her insights and experiences about the nursing profession. We talked about the different roles and responsibilities of a nurse practitioner and the impact they have on patient care. As it is Mental Health Awareness Month, we also delved into the topic of mental health and discussed ways in which we can take care of ourselves and our loved ones. The conversation was insightful, and we covered various topics such as the importance of self-care, seeking professional help, and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health issues. Overall, this episode was an informative and engaging conversation that touched on important issues that affect us all. Whether you're interested in nursing or want to learn more about mental health, you won't want to miss this episode.
