In this episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing two dynamic leaders who have spent the past year establishing Aussie Nurse Recruiters—a forward-thinking recruitment agency dedicated to transforming the hiring process in nursing.

Liam Caswell and Michelle Mexted, the Co-Founders and Directors of Aussie Nurse Recruiters, are not just building an agency; they're pioneering a nurse-led, innovative recruitment approach designed to help nurses secure their dream jobs and assist healthcare organizations in filling their vacancies with top-tier talent.

Their mission is clear: to support hiring managers at every step of the recruitment process, ensuring a seamless and value-driven experience. But their vision goes beyond recruitment—they're committed to creating a psychologically safe community where nurses and managers can thrive personally and professionally.

Guided by core values of transparency, curiosity, reciprocity, and innovation, Liam and Michelle are dedicated to giving back to the nursing profession. One of their standout principles is their 'No Ghosting Policy,' a refreshing and unheard-of commitment in the recruitment industry that truly sets them apart.

So, grab your favourite cup of tea and settle in for an inspiring conversation with two entrepreneurial trailblazers who are making a significant impact in the world of nursing.

It has been a tough two years for the nursing profession. Many nurses are considering leaving the profession and many are reporting symptoms of burnout and exhaustion. As a profession, we need to acknowledge these struggles, listen to nurses' experiences and importantly take urgent action to support nurses globally as we cannot afford to lose nurses. We all have a part to play in using our sphere of influence. This Podcast is my way of using my sphere of influence as both a registered practising nurse and a trained professional coach.

In this episode, I talk about why as nurses we struggle to ask for help and to think about how we respond to someone when a colleague asks for help.
