From the hosts of the hit podcast The Gritty Nurse, stories of the challenges, heartbreak and humour of life on the front line
One of the enduring lessons of the pandemic has been the pivotal role that nursing plays in health care—vital work that isn’t widely understood or, sadly, appreciated.
Sara Fung and Amie Archibald-Varley started the wildly popular The Gritty Nurse podcast to give voice to nurses all over the world, including more than 400,000 nurses in Canada. The authors have quickly become sought-after speakers and advocates for nurses and are called on regularly by the media to talk about a wide range of issues around the profession.
In their first book, they take you to the front line of nursing to show the compassion, selflessness and dedication of professionals who not only give it all for their patients, but get up and do it over and over again.
“I have always been a storyteller. Telling a powerful story that connects people or moves people to have another worldview is my ultimate goal.”
— Amie Archibald-Varley
