"I'm going home today which I'm looking forward to. I was born in Ipswich and rode horses when I was a kid. I then got into cars and started building my first car when I was 16. I was a baker by trade, but when I finished my apprenticeship and then got married, I went underground into the coal mines in Ipswich. After that I moved into prison services where I was a prison officer for 18 months and then a trade instructor baker. I decided to buy my own bakery in Brunswick Heads before coming back to corrective services. I'm into classic cars, I just needed something to do in retirement, and I'm mechanically minded. I joined a car club and just travel around. I'd say just enjoy life but don't do anything stupid. Look after yourself and your family."

The "Glenda and Annie team" is a hard act to follow, having spent 40 years together helping patients in RBWH surgical theatres. 👯♀️
This bestie duo has been working together since 1984 but have an even longer friendship dating back to high school, before they together did their nursing studies and worked at Metro North.
When Glenda was left short-staffed at RBWH one evening, she called on her trusted sidekick Annie who was based at TPCH, and they've been inseparable ever since.
"One night we only had three registered nurses on, but everyone was sick except me. We had this huge case come in, and I said, 'Annie I some need extra hands; I'm going to give you a lesson in 10 minutes on how to scout in an operating room' and it went from there," Glenda explains.
"I eventually got into theatre, and I've been there ever since. We’ve been very fortunate to work together, it's been an absolute privilege which I think is why we’ve stayed as long as we have," Annie said.
"In surgery, you are only as good as your scout nurse and I had the best one in Annie," Glenda added.
👏 A big #ShoutoutSaturday to Glenda and Annie, showing us what the power of two can do!
The absolute best team!
Nurses they are like guide angels, their dedication and care for patients is truly inspiring and has a lasting impact on their lives thank you Glenda & Annie take care you too⭐👍
