What happens when a nurse trades a stable job for a life on the road in a customised Land Cruiser? In this episode of It Takes Heart, we explore the inspiring journey of podcast guest India Priestley purchasing her "troopie" during the 2020 lockdowns and how her off-grid living setup has her creating a whole new community on the road.Through vivid recounts of hitchhiking adventures and heartwarming patient interactions, India paints a picture of the adaptability and resilience required for remote healthcare roles. These stories illuminate the deep personal connections formed in smaller communities and the visible impact nurses can make outside of metropolitan hospitals.Cultural considerations in remote Indigenous communities are also discussed as India emphasises the need for cultural sensitivity, respect, and education to bridge communication gaps and foster trust.  She highlights the importance of respecting the deep connection Indigenous people have with their land. This episode of It Takes Heart has CEO of cmr Sam Miklos hosting alongside Head of Talent and Employer Branding, Kate Coomber. We Care; Music by Waveney Yasso More about India's Charity of Choice:Red Dust inspires remote Indigenous communities through a unique ‘community-as-family’ model of health and well-being programs, that blend western health knowledge and traditional cultural knowledges.
