Episode 1: In the Beginning
from JUST A SHARP SCRATCH Hosted by Martyn Davey
Curious about the origins of Nursing Associates? Let us enlighten you! Nursing Associates were introduced to bridge the gap between healthcare assistants and registered nurses, providing a vital support role within the healthcare system. This role was created to ensure better patient care and to provide a clear career pathway for those looking to progress in the nursing profession. The position allows Nursing Associates to work under the supervision of registered nurses, carrying out a range of duties to free up registered nurses to focus on more complex patient needs. We are excited to feature a special guest, Sagila Thiruthanikaslan, a Registered Nursing Associate (RNA). Sagila will discuss her journey and motivations for becoming a Trainee Nursing Associate (TNA), sharing her insights and experiences from her interview and training process. She'll provide valuable information on what it takes to succeed in this role and the impact it has had on her career and personal growth.
