In this episode of New to Nursing, we interview two of Interior Health's Clinical Mentors Lori Burchett and Danielle Rusheleau. Our guests shine a light on the vital role of Clinical Mentors in supporting new nurses and draw on their own beginnings as new grads. They share personal stories of their new grad journey — the challenges, the learning moments, and the relationships that shaped their practice. Together, they offer thoughtful advice and encouragement for nurses just beginning their journey in the profession.

Whether you’re a new grad finding your footing or a seasoned nurse supporting the next generation, this conversation is full of encouragement, practical advice, and heartfelt reminders about why we do what we do.
