“I like to spend time with the dear souls who are at the end of their lives and whose families have gone home to rest. I do not like to see them left alone so I make sure I spend all my spare time in the room.”

“I create hope by finding practical solutions for people’s barriers to maintaining their own health, and it brings me great joy…”

“Everyone deserves the best health care we can give them regardless of their history or circumstances, but if we don’t look after our nursing staff better, this just isn’t going to happen.”

“I don’t want to be rich; I’d just like to be comfortable and able to pay all my bills without going further and further into debt.”

“I would feel inspired and encouraged to carry on trying to make improvements for myself, my colleagues and my community (often in my own time) if the pay reflected how conscientious, skilled, knowledgeable and hard working the profession actually is.” 

“It’s my job to ensure that the individuals and families I work with have access to all the resources needed to live their best possible lives.”
