DaVita Kidney Care’s Post

👨⚕️ Meet Chester, a dedicated Junior Medical Officer in the Women and Children Division at North Canberra Hospital. We had a chat with him about his experiences, and here's what he had to say: 🔄 ‘This is my second rotation here. It's been great! This was my favourite rotation last year, and it's fantastic to be back.’ 🤝 What stands out to you about this unit? ‘The team dynamics are amazing. You build strong professional relationships with everyone - midwives, doctors, nursing staff, assistants. It's like a big family.’ 🌟 What's the most rewarding part of your job? ‘I love the teamwork. When it clicks, it makes the job a lot smoother.’ 🏥 What are you most proud of working here at North Canberra Hospital? ‘The professional friendships I've formed. They make the work fulfilling and, dare I say, easier.’ 🔄 What sets this place apart for you? ‘It's smaller, less chaotic, and you really get to know the staff. The teamwork is exceptional, including among junior doctors.’ 🌜 Any impactful days at work you'd like to share? ‘Definitely. There are tough days, but they're balanced out by the wealth of experience here. And let's not forget the great conversations we have about improving patient care.’ 💡 What inspired you to become a doctor? ‘Pressure from parents, of course! But beyond that, I genuinely enjoy this line of work. Helping people, learning, and working in teams are what drew me in." 👨⚕️ Finally, any advice for those considering this career path? ‘Self-care is key. Prioritise what's important to you, and don't hesitate to seek support. It can get overwhelming, but reaching out is the first step.’ #TeamCHS #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #NorthCanberraHospital

ITS MORE THAN A SMILE😀 💠Just wrapped up two long, back-to-back shifts at the hospital. 😴 Exhausted, yes.Tired beyond words, absolutely. But despite the fatigue, there’s something incredibly satisfying and fulfilling about the work we do as nurses. It’s not just about the long hours or the physical demands, it’s about the difference we make in people’s lives every single day. Whether it’s a kind word, helping a patient through a difficult moment, or just being there when it matters most — that’s what makes it all worth it. 💙 Nursing isn’t easy, but the reward is felt deep in your heart. They say when you do what you love, it never feels like work — and I couldn’t agree more! 💖 Whether it’s a long shift caring for patients or diving into a passion project, the energy just keeps flowing when your heart is truly in it. It’s not about avoiding hard work, it’s about finding fulfillment in every moment. What I love most about my job isn’t just delivering tender, loving care to my patients — it’s also being there for my junior colleagues, helping them grow into the best nurses they can be. 🌟 Seeing them develop their confidence, skills, and passion for nursing is just as fulfilling as caring for those in need. Together, we’re not only supporting our patients but building a stronger, more compassionate team. 💙 Mentorship is about lifting each other up and creating a space for everyone to thrive. Stay passionate, stay inspired, and remember: when you love what you do, the journey feels limitless! ✨ #DoWhatYouLove #PassionOverWork #Fulfillmen #NurseLife #MentorshipMatters #SupportAndGrow #Teamwork 🌐www.mariateresalyn.com

*A Heart of Compassion: My Journey as a Nurse* As I reflect on my journey as a nurse, I am filled with a mix of emotions - joy, sadness, frustration, and fulfillment. From the moment I first stepped into a hospital as a wide-eyed student, I knew that this profession would change me in ways I never thought possible. The long hours, the high-pressure situations, the weight of responsibility - these are just a few of the challenges I've faced as a nurse. There have been times when I've felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure if I'm making a difference. But then there are the moments that make it all worth it - the smile on a patient's face when they finally feel better, the gratitude in their eyes when you've made a difference in their care, the trust they place in you when they're at their most vulnerable time Being a nurse has taught me the value of empathy, the importance of communication, and the power of human connection. It's shown me that even in the darkest moments, there is always hope, always a way to make a difference. As I continue on this journey, I am reminded that being a nurse is not just a job - it's a calling, a privilege, and a responsibility. It's a chance to make a difference in the lives of others, one patient at a time. https://lnkd.in/dv4-MCBZ #nursinglife #healthcare #clicksense #goviral

I read a post recently where a new nurse manager was asking for help with resources and community to help her succeed in her new role. She was overwhelmed and felt she was ‘in over her head’.   The responses sat squarely in two camps: -      Take a leadership course -      Talk to your staff to find out what they need   My initial response to this post was frustration and a touch of anger. I needed to take some time and reflect on my own response before I felt that I could weigh in.   Isn’t it interesting how easily our buttons can be pushed?   I discovered a few things:   -      Telling a new nurse manager (or anyone starting something new for that matter) to take a course for the skills they are looking for help with is insensitive and only slightly useful. Don’t get me wrong, extra education is extremely powerful and necessary, but in this case she was looking for immediate assistance. She was looking for a guide or a mentor to help her navigate this new terrain, and I felt that this response was lazy and diminishing.    -      Talking to your staff and engaging them in conversation about what they require is essential in leadership, but it is only part of the picture. This new nurse manager was looking for practical assistance in how she approached this new role. Not all of that is about staff engagement.   -      I am triggered by the lack of consideration and empathy given to nurses willing to step up and into such demanding roles. I appreciate that some will give opinions without understanding what the demands actually are, but I am disappointed that the first responses aren’t more along the lines of:   o  “Good for you for taking this on! We desperately need nurses to take these roles on. Here are my thoughts about the first things you might consider…” o  “Congratulations on this appointment – feel free to DM – I am happy to talk you through some things to focus on first…”   Or even…   o  “Well done – not sure I have anything to add but good luck with this!”   I know that healthcare is under ever-increasing pressure. I know that we need leaders to take on more non-clinical functions than ever before.   Supporting new nurse leaders is essential in keeping talented staff in healthcare.   Kindness goes further than we can imagine – the lack of it can resonate even further. #q3women #nurseleader #leadership #nurseburnout
