"I’m from Adelaide, but I'm here with my partner from Brisbane, he’s in the military. This is my first baby; I’m about halfway along in the pregnancy but we're not finding out the gender. I haven’t bought anything gendered, just keeping to whites and beiges. I’m a teacher, currently working in special education, in year 7 to year 12 doing dance. My go to thing is to be yourself. What’s the point of being anyone else when you can be yourself? And smile, it’s good for you." 😃

Be yourself, great advice to remember as a first time mum. You know what to do!
Are you looking to advance your nursing career in the rapidly emerging field of sleep services? 😴🌛
Clinical Nurse in Respiratory and Sleep, Hong, describes what it's like to work in Sleep Services - a role where they help people in their day to day lives!
“I think this area is very interesting. Sleep is not just about closing your eyes and dreaming. It’s about the human body recovering and regenerating for the day. It’s highly related to chronic diseases and we need to look after our sleep," she said.
“We need a lot of sleep specialty nurses, so that’s why we are encouraging nurses to continue learning. Our nurses here have a high autonomy in the planning of nursing care."
The RBWH Sleep Services team is looking for a Clinical Nurse who may be interested in expanding their skillset into sleep nursing. If this sounds like you, don't sleep on this role - check out the link in the comments to apply! 💤👩⚕️ #WorkforusWednesday

I used to be a Wardy at Prince Charles and was privileged to meet Hong . She's a lovely person and I'm sure she will do her best in the Sleep Study ward .
It is a specialist field that deals with not only Sleep Apnoea, but Respiratory Failure and a plethora of other sleep disorders. Was in the field for over 20 yrs with Metro North.
Such an important component of health and wellbeing
Highly recommend Sleep services, working in Paediatric Sleep Medicine at QCH, advancing clinical knowledge, sleep research and supporting patients.

"I was an engineering project manager, and I worked 25 years in Queensland power stations. Hong Kong for 4 years, Iraq for 2 years, the Philippines for 5 years; my wife was a fly-in, fly-out wife whilst I was in the Philippines. All of these were very good experiences. I had 3 or 4 guys that really changed the direction my life. I come from a blue-collar background, but I was able to go to university because it was free. That's where I met my wife, now we've been together for 52 years."

Hi Joe, I see you're famous !! I hope you are going well.
Nice
For young women looking to enter the workforce, "manufacturing" is no longer defined by the manual labour focused industry of the past. It has evolved into a high-tech, clean-room environment where biology meets engineering. 👩🔬
The Herston Biofabrication Institute (HBI) at RBWH is the first facility of its kind dedicated to advancing 3D scanning, modelling, and printing of medical devices, bone, cartilage, and human tissue, bringing together clinicians, researchers, industry partners, and consumers.
One of these people is Issy - a Biofabrication Educator who combines her background in fashion with her passion for human experience and helping people to create products and systems that meet consumer needs.
“Fashion and healthcare may seem worlds apart, but they share a core focus on the human body. Both require customisation and tailoring to individual needs,” Issy said.
“Most people do not spend much time in hospitals. When they do, the environment can feel overwhelming and unfamiliar. My work has explored everything from rethinking how medical devices are designed, to improving how people navigate hospital spaces, to supporting clinicians in adopting new technologies.”
This week ahead of International Women’s Day, HBI welcomed 33 female students from across Queensland as part of an initiative to inspire the next generation of female leaders in manufacturing and engineering.
One of these students is Bree who is keen to pursue a career as a boiler maker and is excited by opportunities like these that make it easier for women and girls to pursue manufacturing careers.
A big Shoutout Saturday to the team from HBI and the work they do to continuously improve our ways of working. 👏🏥
Congratulations to Isabel. She looks very professional
Amazing work Issy!!
Metro North Health what sort of degree would be required to gain the skill set for biomedical engineering
