"I'm from Liverpool and was initially attracted to Perth because of the lifestyle.
"RPH has been a great place to work - I've enjoyed the pace of nursing and the support available in the hospital. It seems to be more relaxed and has more resources available to you than at home.
"I find the staff friendly - I enjoy working here more than the UK, I've also had some great career opportunities."
Tina Williamson - Area Manager – Cancer and Neurosciences Division
"There’s a lot of kudos involved in working in the largest teaching hospital in Western Australia – I find it a challenging, exciting and rewarding experience every day."
"I worked in ICU for 8 years and after some time away returned to become the Clinical Nurse Manager for 9C (Acute Medicine and Infection Control)."
"I have to say there is never a dull moment at RPH. We treat the most critically ill patients in the State. As a nurse, I find this both intellectually stimulating and immensely satisfying. I’m proud to be a part of the RPH nursing team."
Anita Basu - Clinical Nurse Manager 9C
"My name is Diane and I have been at RPH for one year. I have extensive experience in a range of medical areas - I'm a medic, a worker's compensation coordinator and was the Occupational Health and Safety Nurse at BHP in the Pilbara.
"Royal Perth offers nurses a huge variety of nursing experience- from medical to surgical to theatre. My specialty is rehabilitation so I have chosen to work in our GEM facility - which I thoroughly enjoy.
"I chose RPH because of its proximity to where I live - it only takes me 12 minutes to get to work. I also have taken advantage of the excellent educational courses offered here. I completed a Medication Proficiency Course this year which upgraded my skills within the hospital environment. Royal Perth is a great place to work".
Diane Vince - Enrolled Nurse Level 4
"Nursing at RPH has provided me with great opportunities to develop in all directions as a nurse. The flexibility, guidance and support are excellent at all levels and in all domains."
"People are proud to work here. It's like a big family. People are rewarded for their honesty, integrity and hard work. It is a challenging and exciting place to work. I love my job and I love doing it at RPH. "
Jo Wilson Clinical Nurse Specialist - Emergency Department
"I enjoy working with the people I work with everyday. The multi-disciplinary burns team is a cohesive team. It is very rewarding to see our patients come the distance to recovery from where they were with the help of the whole team. Burn patients are a challenge most times and nursing them can be very demanding and stressful for the staff. The nurses I work with all have a certain sense of dedication to their patients and I have great respect for them for this. I enjoy the flexibility in my role to be a leader, a hands-on nurse, a teacher, a manager and various other duties this job takes me. "
2005 NBWA Nurse of the Year and Nurse Leader of the Year Joy Fong Clinical Nurse Consultant - Burns and Plastics
"I have the great privilege of working in a multi-disciplinary team of health professionals all focused on a common aim - to ensure the quality of the outcome is worth the pain of the survival for our burn patients. Pivotal in that team is the nurses - in the front line delivering care and facilitating the care of other team members. Nursing is a demanding profession undertaken by the nurses of RPH with empathy, compassion and professionalism."
2005 Australian of the Year Dr Fiona Wood FRACS AM
