| What year did you commence your nursing career? I began my career in nursing in 1987 in Shanghai, China. What hospitals have you worked at? I have previously worked in Huadong Hospital in Shanghai (China), Middlemore Hospital in Auckland (New Zealand) and now Hurstville Private Hospital.What year did you commence employment at Hurstville Private Hospital? I commenced my employment at Hurstville Private Hospital in 2005. Why did you choose to become a nurse? Nursing was actually a career that my parents recommended to me. I think they saw my heart and willingness to help people and they thought I was very brave because I wasn't scared of blood. Where did you complete your training? I completed my training at Huadong Nursing College and Manukau Institute of Technology. Provide us a highlight in your career that you would like to share During my time at Middlemore Hospital in Auckland, I came across a lot of emergency trauma cases since it was a public hospital. Although it was a very stressful, high-pressure environment, it was one of the most memorable periods in my career. Without my experiences here, I would not have developed the necessary communication and teamwork skills needed to respond quickly to changing circumstances and save lives. This was the first hospital I worked at after immigrating from another country and it was here that I grew a stubborn endurance and remarkable resilience that characterizes the entire nursing profession. |
