\"Caboolture<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been a nurse in Metro North Health for more than 15 years. I spent 11 years at Redcliffe Hospital before coming to Caboolture Hospital about four years ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Between work, home and sport, I have a few very different roles.<\/p>\n

Katrina Cook<\/p><\/div>\n

At work, I am the elective surgery coordinator and I ensure all operations and
\nprocedures are booked with doctors, theatre teams, and patients are ready
\nand prepared for their surgery dates.<\/p>\n

At home, I\u2019m a wife and mum of three kids.<\/p>\n

And for sport, I\u2019m a professional athlete in the sport of wood chopping.<\/p>\n

I was introduced to it by my dad when I was 16 years old and have been competing ever since.<\/p>\n

This sport has taken me all over Australia and to New Zealand, where I represented our country in the first Australian Women\u2019s Woodchopping Team.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m currently ranked third in the Stihl Timbersports Women\u2019s Championship.<\/p>\n

What I love about woodchopping is that on any given day I can compete with my whole family.<\/p>\n

My husband and kids all compete, and their grandfather, who has retired his axe, is always there to support us and cheer us on.<\/p>\n

We have great friendships and a real sense of community in woodchopping, which is the same way I feel about Caboolture Hospital.<\/p>\n

Everyone says hello as you walk past, and I couldn\u2019t ask for a better team here at Caboolture.<\/p>\n

I feel very lucky that within my current role, I have that work life balance where I’m able to spend time with my family and to train at home and travel for competitions.<\/p>\n

Woodchopping built a really strong passion in me from an early age and that has driven me in my nursing career as well. Both are all about community.<\/p>\n
