Today I return to where it all began. 35yrs ago I walked through these walls to begin my career as a nurse. I remember thinking OMG what have I done. I was young, very young and not a clue.
Today I’m walking back in, a lot older to educate a younger generation of nurses all with that eager look on their faces, the thoughts remain the same OMG what have I done, I still don’t have a clue. 😳
Today the expectations are different I’m supposed to know stuff apparently. OMG people are looking at me like I know stuff. 🤷🏻
It’s weird walking these old walls and beautiful grounds. Here’s to a new generation of carers, nurses, allied health staff, groundspeople and everyone else that makes the health system turn and provide high quality care to our patients and resident’s alike everyday, no matter what the time or the crisis, they are there.
Have a great day everyone and remember for all of you just starting your careers, it’s ok not to know stuff, life is an education in itself.
It’s ok to ask lots of questions until you get it, there are so many wonderful opportunities coming your way, embrace and enjoy the moment.
