Top honours for care home's dynamic duo
Paisley Daily Express
|June 23, 2025
Renfrewshire care home staff have won prestigious prizes at the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Scotland awards.
Kirsty Cartin, manager at Rashielee care home in Erskine, scooped the top honour and was crowned nurse of the year at the ceremony, held in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
As well as winning the overall title, Kirsty was the winner of the clinical leadership award.
And Jennifer Carruthers, who also works at Rashielee, won the care home nurse award.
On becoming RCN Scotland nurse of the year 2025, Kirsty said: "I'm shocked and totally humbled.
I'm a proud care home nurse and I want to promote nursing to everyone.
"It's an excellent career.
"So many times we hear the bad news but there is so much joy in nursing and I want to share that.
"Care home nursing often doesn't get recognised.
"We are a voice in the shadows and people don't appreciate what we do because they don't know but we are an integral part of community care.
