A nurse who went from work-related burnout to conquering Mount Everest discusses her unusual journey in the latest episode of the Nursing Standard podcast.
Rowena Rowberry, a lecturer at the University of Derby and former community nurse, discusses how she went from a novice with no climbing experience to scaling the world’s tallest mountain in just 18 months.
She also reveals one surprising practical insight climbing has given her into nursing – as well as offering some tips on taking care of your feet.
