I have been nursing for 21 years, starting in a mixed practice in country Victoria and 12 years in emergency nursing.
I love the variety of cases we get to see in emergency nursing. I love being able to make a difference to our patients especially when they often come in critically ill and being able to help stabilise them and seeing them get to go home or back to their regular vet for ongoing treatment. I enjoy the challenge of thinking outside the box when challenges arise, and am lucky to be able to have a hands on role, collecting bloods, placing IV’s, placing nasal lines, etc. This makes the role very fulfilling.
Outside of work I love going to the beach, road tripping around Australia, watching horror movies, hanging out with all my rescue animals I have collected over the years from work. This includes 6 cats, 8 budgies, 1 duck and 10 chickens.
