Скачать или смотреть Grace under pressure and cultural identity with Filipino nurses

What are some of the cultural values you bring into your profession?

Eiji and Charisse are nurses who work in the UK but are originally from the Philippines. We chatted about their journeys on what made them decide to move away from home and some of the joys and challenges they each
experienced. Besides asking what kindness means to them, other discussion points include societal stigmas for male nurses, cultural identity and the mass recognition Filipino nurses received during COVID.

Our host also looks back at how she was once looked after by a Filipina nurse on a family trip and reminisces of a Filipino dish that she associates with comfort.
