I was groomed to become a lawyer. I studied a bachelor’s
degree in Political Science and Law while working as a
manager in the Philippines. Just like everyone here, I dreamt of
living abroad and nursing has given me all the opportunities I
have today. Fifteen (15) years of nursing experience happened
so fast. My clinical background includes Public Health:
Infectious, Communicable Diseases and Immunisation,
Immigration and Refugee Health Undertakings, Tuberculosis,
Renal Dialysis and Management roles in Medical Centres and
Aged Care settings. Post graduate studies include a Diploma in
Health and Social Welfare in the UK and Public Health and
Immunisation courses in Australia. The universe has its own
plan for everyone. It is up to you to accept and make it happen.
Remember to grow where you planted.
Each day is a new, unique learning opportunity. I have worked in the nursing profession for over 20 years; 10 of which being in the United Kingdom, a short stint in Canada and 10 years in Australia. Although I also hold a US RN license after passing the NCLEX, I haven’t ventured pursuing my career in the US as my family and I have fallen in love with the lifestyle that Australia has offered us.
I have primarily worked in the critical care settings of ICU, HDU and CCU. Having had the experience of working for the district as clinical nurse specialist and clinical educator in the renal unit, I have come to realise that my greatest passion lies in bedside nursing and imparting the acquired knowledge, essential skills and positive attitude I have learnt and continue to share with my colleagues; whether they be a junior, senior nurse or a student.
