01.01.2022 As part of International Year of the Nurse & Midwife in 2020, we're profiling a nurse or midwife each week. Say hello to Clinical Nurse on Granada and Private Patient Liaison Nurse, Jodie Roberts : Jodie Roberts... : 29 years / ? Charles Sturt University - Bathurst University of Western Sydney - post graduate certificate in Child and Family Health Flinders University - post graduate certificate in Palliative Care ? Clinical Nurse Granada Palliative Care Unit Private Patient Liaison Nurse ? The opportunity to work in a variety of areas, specialities and roles. You are always learning, it’s challenging and thought provoking. I love being part of a supportive team, working collectively towards a goal of exceptional patient care, comfort and outcomes. One of my greatest joys involves mentoring graduate nurses and students, to help them develop their knowledge, clinical skills and confidence. It’s important we pass on our knowledge and support their pathway to a career in nursing. It’s difficult to choose just one experience or story after all these years, I’ve loved the ability to be able to work and travel, which has enabled me to meet and work with amazing colleagues that I now call friends. In my palliative care role, I feel privileged to be able to support and care for patients and families at their most vulnerable, hoping in some way I’ve made a difference! ? We moved to Bunbury from Sydney for my husband’s work, 18 years and 3 children later Bunbury is our home. I had previously worked at SJG Murdoch on Bridget Clancy ward and so when we moved I decided to join the SJG Bunbury team, I enjoy the friendly supportive work environment at SJG Hospitals. #yearofthenurseandmidwife
