Episode 1 Wendy Trevarthen -Who Are You?

Welcome to Your Nurse Voice Matters, the podcast where inspiration meets education, and advocacy drives transformation. I’m Wendy Trevarthen, your host and a proud retired nurse with over 36 years in public health. My journey began when my father’s battle with a life-threatening illness inspired me to pursue a career in nursing. Since then, I’ve dedicated my life to supporting nurses as they navigate their careers and advocate for their patients. I want to share why Your Nurse Voice Matters was created in this first episode. This podcast is a space for us to connect, reflect, and grow together as a community of caregivers, leaders, and changemakers. Inspiration: Through real stories, we’ll explore the paths nurses take to overcome challenges and make a lasting impact. Education: You’ll gain practical strategies to navigate job transitions, master interviews, and excel in your career. Advocacy: Together, we’ll tackle workforce issues, career sustainability, and the future of healthcare, amplifying the voices of nurses everywhere. As the author of Dear Nurse Me… Transitions and creator of a comprehensive career transition program, I’ve seen firsthand the power of nurses when they are supported and empowered. So, thank you for being here. Grab your earbuds and join me on this journey to ensure that your voice, our voice, truly matters. Let’s dive in!
