Description

Should all nurses be expected to be leaders? RCN Scotland Nurse of the Year Kirsty Cartin believes nurses must be given space to find their own route into leadership – or they could be deterred from wanting to take on such roles.


Queen’s Nurse Ms Cartin, who is manager of the Rashielee Care Home in Erskine, discusses how her curiosity and compassion helped her to see herself as a leader in this latest episode of the Nursing Standard podcast.


Ms Cartin also explains her passion for older people’s care and why newly registered nurses should see care homes as a great setting to start their career.
