Helen has some advice to those starting their nursing career - and it's to build your skills and learning as much as you can!
When she started over 31 years ago, Helen wasn't aware of the opportunities that lay ahead of her. She began as a junior in the maternity ward at Caboolture Hospital, and now years on, coordinates the new graduates in the very same facility.
"I never thought I'd be a manager," Helen shares.
"I know that the first year out of Uni is so important as you learn to manage shift work, work/life balance and ensure that you have support, both at home and with your work family.
"There are so many more options than working at the patient bedside. If you build your skills and learn, while exploring diverse pathways, you'll gain so much."
👏 Shoutout Saturday to Helen in Nursing Workforce team, for her decades of service to the Caboolture Hospital and community.
