Hello ladies, gents, and non-binary folx! On this week's episode, I sat down with Benjamin who is studying nursing at York University. We discussed the lack of representation of men, specifically black men in the nursing field, some of the stereotypes that nurses face and some important lessons he has learned throughout his studies. Don't forget to follow us on Instagram and Twitter @thepttpodcast and give us a rating on Apple Podcasts.
