  • Summary

  • You can't have integrity without grit, right? Our podcast examines hot topics related to health and healthcare. We shy away from nothing, discussing topics such as mental health, social justice, women's health and women's rights. We are story-tellers and love hearing how healthcare has impacted individuals' lives. We want to discuss the good, bad and ugly . We also provide a platform for empowerment and shared experiences, where we represent voices that have been silenced, underrepresented and marginalized --so they can share their stories of hope, change and inspiration. Episodes are informative, gritty, humorous and educational.

  • National Nursing Week conversation with the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau
    May 10 2024

    There is no better way to finish off National Nursing Week than to hear from the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau. In this special episode, Amie and Sara sit down to discuss the triumphs and challenges in nursing with the Prime Minister.

    We also discuss the role of the Federal Government as it pertains to healthcare & nursing, accountability of the provinces concerning healthcare funding, mental health and why nursing IS POLITICAL! We even hear a personal story from the PM about his most recent interaction with a nurse! We also ask the PM to name some famous nurses---you might be surprised by what he says!

    Thank you to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for taking the time to leave a message for Nurses Week and speak to The Gritty Nurses (Amie Archibald-Varley & Sara Fung). Next time, we will call you JT lol!
