Nursepreneurs

Sara Fung started the Gritty Nurse podcast with her partner Amie after several frustrations within the nursing profession. They felt like they needed an outlet and soon found out other nurses needed it too. Sara’s has background as obstetrics nurse who also worked in the neonatal unit. She worked bedside for over 8 years and then transferred into nursing leadership. She wanted to be able to share her experiences and found that new nurses, student nurses and experienced nurses alike enjoyed hearing them as well. Getting set up in a podcast was relatively easy because she didn’t depend on expensive equipment, but being consistent and persistent was the hardest part. The podcast has released almost 30 episodes to date which Sara and Amie either do together or they invite guests to participate in their discussions. Sara has found the podcast has opened incredible opportunities to connect with people she would not have otherwise come into contact with including a politician, nurses in business and leaders
