Imagine going to bed at night and waking up the next morning not being able to hear? 👂🧏
Metro North Clinical Nurse Consultant Jane has been a nurse for 23 years, and has worked as a McGrath Foundation nurse, supporting breast cancer patients at RBWH and TPCH.
However, Jane was unaware she was about to face a significant personal challenge of her own.
“I lost my hearing in my left ear nearly two years ago, so my disability is very new,” Jane said.
“When I returned to work, post cochlear surgery, no one really knew how to help me, including me,” Jane said.
“I want to help raise awareness, so everyone has disability at the forefront of their thinking in all aspects of work and life, and I think Metro North ENABLE will be the way forward.”
