Working within mental health isn’t always easy. But Nursing is more than a profession. To our Nurses, it’s their calling. Their passion is to care for people who need their support. For Season 3 we spoke to Nurses who have worked at different locations across Cygnet to find out how their passion keeps them motivated and engaged with their work, every day of the year.

It takes a lot to care for people in need, especially when times are tough. Covid challenged everyone in society, health and social care in particular. What can be learnt from those challenging times, and what can you take from those experiences? We spoke to nurses, and their colleagues, across the country to find out. Welcome to Season 2 of Why We Care: The Nursing Career Podcast from us all at Cygnet Health Care.

In Season 1, staff, patients and service users tell us what caring, and being cared for, means to them. Why did they get into nursing? What advice and experiences do patients and service users have for nurses? And how can you care for your career when you’re busy caring for others? These are just some of the questions answered in Season 1.
