They are to be congratulated on all the hard work to achieve this. We are extremely proud of their conscientious approach and this final reward which gives them an enormous boost to the medical careers they have chosen. Each girl plans to continue studying for higher qualifications and specialization in Nursing.
Tahlia has already been offered two jobs as a nurse, which will help fund her full nursing degree that she hopes will lead to midwifery eventually. Michelle shared that she just loves working on the wards and getting to know the patients and being a valued member of the staff teams that care for them so very well. She has experienced everyone being so supportive and helpful, especially when hard decisions need to be made. Kiesha has risen above many health challenges herself to get to where she is now and can really empathize with what patients go through. She knows the high worth of being able to make practical health care contributions to our society.
We focused on the work of Pyper in this field in a previous edition of The Way and recall her love of the teamwork, camaraderie and opportunity she is experiencing in Nursing.
As a Careers Advisor I would like to record how impressed I am with the initiative and focus of these girls. It has not been easy but they have never given up and their organisation and attention to detail have been superb, and now they reap a just reward.
This is our best result ever and we are delighted that four more trainee nurses at present in Year 11 are following them and one of these is our first male nurse aspirant. This all looks great for the future!
Well done Nurses! We know we will be safe in your well-trained care!
Mr Jim Ward
Careers Advisor
