We have an incredible team, so we're showcasing our @FmhsNursing people with Five Tweet Staff Introductions. First-up is Lorraine, who is new to the School of Nursing, bringing a wealth of experience & enthusiasm. #5TIntro
1. Where are you from? Whakapapa to Te Rarawa, Ngāpuhi & Ngāti Whātua. My whanau hails from Rangi Point, Mitimiti, Kohukohu, later moving to Auckland. I live in Massey with my partner, six children, my 2yr old mokopuna & the dog.
2. How did you end up in the SoN? I stepped out of my CNS position last year & went casual so that I had flexibility around shifts to spend more time with my mokopuna. It was at this time I was asked if I would be able to assist at @FMHSNursing.
3. What is your role in the School? My role in the school is teaching support, which fabulously is code for wherever needed to assist, & I love the diversity. I am currently working with #studentnurses learning about older people's health & mental health, disability & addictions.
4. What is the favourite part of your job? People. I love working across teams, students & clinical areas. It expands my experiences with different individuals, personalities, & knowledge & of course, the flexibility for my whanau.
5. How do you relax? Me time, time with whanau, especially my precious moko, it’s a Nanni thing. Catching up with friends. The beach, that's the dogs’ favourite, & when I really need to breathe, straight to the far north to top-up the wairua.
