International Nurses Day 2023

I love being a nurse because you look after people when they are in need & it always comes with diversity, never the same day twice. it’s amazing to see the difference in the patients from admission to discharge.

We love being a mental health nurse because we are all human and it is amazing to be able to help and guide other people of the world to heal and enjoy their lives.

We love being nurses because we are able to help our patients when they are at their lowest point and help them reach great heights. Nursing is a privilege.

We love having the chance to create great a leadership team through care, respect and teamwork. That leads by example and exemplifies being proactive and innovative.

We love being nurses as we get to be apart of a patients journey to recovery.

We love that no day is the same as a nurse

We both enjoy being nurses because we love being able to support people throughout their mental health journey

Working at Belmont has given me the privilege of working amongst a supportive team and provided us many opportunities for career progression.

After 15yrs of mental health nursing, I remain very passionate and fascinated with caring for others. I am still learning and fine-tuning my skills to better myself. My cousin struggled with depression for most of her life and she succumbed to depression by taking her life. I was fortunate enough to know her as a person. My goal is to get to know my patients as human beings (their personalities, their likes, and dislikes, their dreams and aspirations) and look past a person's mental illness.

I love being a nurse as no day is the same and there is always something to learn. We get to work with patients when they are most vulnerable, and we get to help them feel safe and that they are cared for. We get to make a difference in someone’s life.

Being a nurse always has its challenges but the rewards far outweigh this. Working in mental health and knowing you have been able to support someone in obtaining beneficial treatment and support makes it all worthwhile.

What I love about being a rehab nurse is that I really love being part of unique team and making a difference in someone’s life.

I find it very rewarding offering individualised care, empathy to both the patient and family and ultimately assisting the patient in restoring their optimal function and health by sitting down with them and setting goals with them to adapt to their new way of life.

It is also important to me as a nurse that a patient has a positive experience and that the patient is able to provide this feedback during and after their in-patient stay.
