What do you love about working as a remote health professional?
I love the aspect of being able to provide services to regions that have fewer resources. Additionally, I enjoy understanding and immersing myself in the cultures of different regions. Over the past year, I have travelled extensively to various areas as a registered nurse, experiencing the unique energy and culture of each town. This has been incredibly enriching, and it’s something I truly love about my work.
What career goals are you building towards?
I am currently pursuing my Master of Nurse Practitioner. My short-term goal is to become a passionate and capable nurse practitioner. In the long term, I aim to serve regional and rural communities, focusing on delivering palliative care services to those in need.
Why did you become a CRANAplus Member?
I was honoured to receive a full scholarship from the Primary Care Nursing and Midwifery Scholarships. This opportunity allowed me to choose one free membership, and I selected CRANAplus because much of my work involves regional and rural settings. Being part of CRANAplus aligns with my passion for remote health care.
What do you wish everyone knew about being a remote health professional?
I believe it’s important for people to understand that we are here to serve the community. More investigation and resources are needed to ensure we can provide comprehensive services and improve access to health care for those living in remote areas.
