"We moved to Brisbane six months ago from the Gold Coast. I am a drug and alcohol nurse and Jasper is a cardiology doctor here at the RBWH but we first met each other working at a hospital in Sydney. I am European so our baby Violette is spelt with the double 't', it's a French-English name. We are going home today and looking forward to going on strolls around our neighbourhood with Violette in the pram. The midwives on this ward have been amazing and we're so excited to be parents."

TPCH Children's ward nurse Melissa loves to get her adrenalin pumping in her spare time, enjoying BMX riding, where she recently competed at the world championships held in Brisbane. 🚵🏁

After Melissa's husband, son and daughter all joined the sport, she decided to follow suit and make it a family affair and has now been competing for the last eight years. 

"I just love the social aspect of it. I've had a fair few injuries so it's a bit gnarly but so fun," Melissa said. 

"I actually really wanted to be a physio and started in nursing to then cross over into physio but at 18 I was apparently classified as a mature age student, and couldn't cross over, so continued with nursing.

"My teacher just happened to get me onto the paediatric ward for a day, and I just loved it and said if I'm doing nursing, this is what I've got to do. I've always thought if I can make a kid smile, then I've done my job today!"

👏#ShoutoutSaturday to Melissa and her double life as a BMX champ and paediatric nurse legend!

RBWH Midwives Esther and Jamie both had slightly unconventional routes to midwifery. 

Whilst Jamie discovered midwifery for the first time through a Facebook ad in the middle of studying criminal justice, Esther was working in HR, before having children of her own made her want to pursue midwifery. 

Both women couldn't be happier with their career change, and their day-to-day supporting women. 

"I am so passionate about women's health and the sisterhood of working with my colleagues, alongside midwifery I also do childcare education classes here, and that really feeds something in me," Jamie said. 

"It's not all about babies being born, that's just one day in their life, but so many people remember the people who cared for them along the way, especially if they are here for a while. Being able to build that rapport with our patients regardless of what is going on in their life, it's so satisfying," Esther added.
