I worked alongside the most wonderful team of nurses, pharmacists, administrative officers and operational staff who were shining examples of the Metro North values and the \u201ccan-do\u201d attitude of our health service.\u00a0The leadership of Community and Oral Health Services to lead this body of work was outstanding and a huge congratulations to all involved.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, I would like to call out to the exceptional professionalism and ability of the new graduate nurses and midwives who have been so instrumental in the COVID 19 response in MN.\u00a0We have seen new graduate nurses employed in a whole range of roles.\u00a0While we have certainly taken the normal quota of graduates into our \u201cusual\u201d front line positions, we have also taken more than 150 to provide vaccinations, work in fever clinics, undertake fit testing, facilitate airport screening and to support hotel quarantine initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>These graduates have embraced the opportunities and showed extraordinary aptitude, skill and expertise and with the support of our more experienced nursing and midwifery clinical staff have demonstrated that in Metro North we can always rise to the challenge.\u00a0On Wednesday I had the absolute pleasure to work alongside three of these outstanding graduates.\u00a0I am in awe! Thank you to all of our graduates for accepting the challenge, and thank you for choosing Metro North.<\/p>\n<p>Regards,<\/p>\n<p>Alanna<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cnmo"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
