In the last edition of the Way, we profiled the work of our first male nurse trainee at Thomas Hassall - Monson A - as he met with many challenges on the road to successful graduation.
We have just received the reports for our other three Year 12 nurse trainees at Liverpool Hospital, who will all graduate comfortably with solid credentials that give them access to paid work in nursing. Rose, Tayla and Maddi have achieved well and are now in an excellent position to build their careers in Nursing or allied health areas whilst at the same time being paid to do nurse work.
The Human Service course they have completed requires basic medical knowledge and then competency in a wide range of ward functions such as providing first aid, infection prevention, movement and transport of patients, recognition of how bodily systems are travelling, and even assisting in acute care and supporting dementia patients. It is most impressive to see how capable, flexible and cooperative these girls have become over the last two years of their course. Well done girls on your excellent achievement.
This is all the more praiseworthy when one considers the difficulties of COVID restrictions on hospital environments and our nurses bravely persevering in the face of these to complete their pracs. They have all done this whilst remaining healthy themselves. We wish them all the best for their careers in medical and allied areas for the future.
