Janine and Amanda are members of the Cancer Care team at the RBWH.

They have also led Metro North's involvement in the You Can Make Some Noise Program (YCMSN).

YCMSN is giving young people affected by cancer the opportunity to experience the transformative power of music through a series of workshops.

"The program sees professional musicians collaborate with participants to turn their stories, thoughts and emotions into lyrics, melodies and songs," Janine said.

The workshops have the added benefit of connecting those taking part with others going through similar experiences.

"The program has seen friendships flourish,” Amanda said.

"Participants have enjoyed having a break from the ward environment and discovering there are others their own age who understand what they’re going through.

Keen to hear them in action? You Can Make Some Noise have recently released their second album, which will be available to stream soon.

Nikki is one of more than 11,000 nurses who provide care and support to patients across our hospitals and healthcare services.

As a Nurse Navigator, Nikki helps ensure patients have a smooth healthcare journey.

“Nurse navigation is all about problem solving,” Nikki said.

“I work with staff from across the hospital on admissions to make sure there are enough beds in the ED for everyone who needs our care.”

For Nikki and the team, patient care and safety are always their number one priority.

“We work hard to provide timely care for our patients and then either discharge them or admit them to the hospital to be looked after by the treating team until they are well enough to go home.”

The Nurse Navigator role is a perfect fit for Nikki who thrives on a challenge.

“I have a passion to ensure patients get the best care possible,” she said.

“Combined with my love of problem solving, the role is a great fit for me and one I really enjoy.”

If you’re in a healthcare facility today, why not take a moment and say thanks to the nurses looking after you?

Happy International Nurses Day to all our amazing nurses!
