Are you looking to advance your nursing career in the rapidly emerging field of sleep services? 😴🌛
Clinical Nurse in Respiratory and Sleep, Hong, describes what it's like to work in Sleep Services - a role where they help people in their day to day lives!
“I think this area is very interesting. Sleep is not just about closing your eyes and dreaming. It’s about the human body recovering and regenerating for the day. It’s highly related to chronic diseases and we need to look after our sleep," she said.
“We need a lot of sleep specialty nurses, so that’s why we are encouraging nurses to continue learning. Our nurses here have a high autonomy in the planning of nursing care."
The RBWH Sleep Services team is looking for a Clinical Nurse who may be interested in expanding their skillset into sleep nursing. If this sounds like you, don't sleep on this role - check out the link in the comments to apply! 💤👩⚕️ #WorkforusWednesday

It`s Queensland Women`s Week, and nurse Lauren is taking us behind the scenes of her non-traditional nursing role in the Brisbane Watchhouse.
Lauren works closely with her Queensland Police Service colleagues, where she and a close-knit team of Metro North nurses provide care to those in custody.
She tells us how empowering the role is and shows us that being strong can mean being approachable and kind.
"At university I felt community and custodial nursing was overlooked and undervalued, and I thought that if I pursued this, I could make a difference in an area of nursing that is not as well recognised," she said.
"I feel it is very empowering as a woman to work here with your non-traditional patients, and over time I have learned how to build rapport quite quickly with people and being able to do that is a huge win for me.
"I feel even more accomplished when I can contribute to improved health outcomes for a vulnerable population." 🚓🫶
"I was an engineering project manager, and I worked 25 years in Queensland power stations. Hong Kong for 4 years, Iraq for 2 years, the Philippines for 5 years; my wife was a fly-in, fly-out wife whilst I was in the Philippines. All of these were very good experiences. I had 3 or 4 guys that really changed the direction my life. I come from a blue-collar background, but I was able to go to university because it was free. That`s where I met my wife, now we`ve been together for 52 years."
💭 Monday Mantra, Joe, general surgery patient at RBWH.
It’s International Women’s Day today, with the theme this year ‘Give to Gain’, celebrating a mindset of generosity and collaboration. So, what better way to give than advice from three incredible women here at Metro North?
Dr Sonia, Dr Sharon and Dr Cath are all surgeons as well as senior leaders in their respective fields. But women still make up only 12-15 per cent of all surgeons in Australia.
So for IWD2026, we unpack how far we’ve come and what we can do better to improve outcomes for women in medicine. ⭐
