If there is a lock to be fixed or a wall to be patched at Caboolture Hospital, first-year Apprentice Carpenter Jasmine is on the job. 🔨👷
To support the safe and smooth operation of facilities used by staff and patients every day, Jasmine helps to maintain essential infrastructure across the hospital.
“I assist with maintaining different parts of the hospital and that can be anything from moving and installing furniture to fixing doors, locks or windows, patching walls or completing small upgrades to offices and rooms,” Jasmine said.
Jasmine says resilience and self-belief have helped her push forward in her new career, as well as the support from the Building, Engineering and Maintenance Services (BEMS) team.
“They have a wealth of knowledge and it’s awesome to work alongside such strong and resilient women who encourage me to keep pushing myself and getting better every day," she said, of her role models in the BEMS team.
“It’s an awesome feeling to look back at the end of the day and see what you’ve completed. It’s even better knowing that the projects I help finish improve this facility and make people’s lives a little easier, no matter how small.”
"I was on a world cruise from England all the way around and back to England, and we were halfway through and I thought I`d picked something up in the Pacific, I was very feverish. My hunger disappeared and all I could take was cornflakes and cold milk. We had just docked in this beautiful place and I was taken here. They discovered I had a bit of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, it`s common. I had a reaction to the first treatment but now it`s working and I`m on the mend. The treatment here has been unbelievable from beginning to end. I’m here 24/7 but it’s marvellous. We`d been to New York where it was minus 9 [degrees], Panama in the canal, Hawaii and New Zealand. In good fortune, I found myself in this beautiful place."

Experiencing pain can often feel like so much more than just a number between 1 and 10. 🤕
Director of the Tess Cramond Pain and Research Centre Dr Conrad says that many doctors are moving away from using numerical pain scales and instead are focusing on what patients can and can’t do when experiencing pain.
“After a surgery or procedure, it’s really important to be able to get out of bed, be able to cough, take deep breaths, and engage in rehabilitation. Regardless of your pain score, if you are able to do those things, we consider that you are doing really well,” he said.
He also recognises how pain can be influenced by other factors such as your environment.
“Often patients may use pain scores as a way to communicate distress rather than just pain,” he said.
“Pain is such a multifactorial experience that is often associated with mood, social situation, anxiety, worry.” 🧑⚕️
