Nursing Educator, Surgery

"When you say that you're a nurse, most people usually think of the clinical aspects, like assisting doctors and attending to patients. Within our organisation, nursing actually encompasses a broader scope, including research and education. This diversity offers varied career pathways. My journey began in a surgical ward, where I discovered my passion for teaching while mentoring students. Encouraged to pursue a clinical educator course, my career has since evolved into a more fulfilling direction. Apart from directly impacting patient lives, I am now able to contribute to healthcare by educating future nurses."

"Switching careers mid-way can be daunting, but the right organisation and supportive colleagues can make a huge difference. I am fortunate to have both. Our department thrives on teamwork—there is always someone to assist or share ideas with. I work closely with a passionate team, from senior consultants to new trainees, all committed to helping patients recover. Our unspoken mantra is 'No one gets left behind', which fosters a sense of camaraderie within our team."
