Did you know that it was recently International Nurses Day?<\/h3>\n

Nurses hold a special place in the hearts of many, especially now, and we thank them for the many positive contributions our registered and enrolled nurses across make our aged care residences.
\nTwo of our wonderful nurses from Star of the Sea Aged Care Residence in Torquay have shared their thoughts about why they love being a nurse, especially in the aged care sector.
\nAngielyn has been working at Star of the Sea for two years, and says that being a nurse makes her happy, as well as extremely proud that she is able to make a difference in someone\u2019s life.
\n\u201cRegistered nurses are important as we advocate for our residents,\u201d she says. \u201cWe take care of our residents by monitoring their health status, ensuring they take their medications as per their doctor\u2019s orders and co-ordinate with the other members of the healthcare team. Also, and importantly, we provide emotional support through all the stages of our resident\u2019s life.\u201d
\nLayana has been working as a registered nurse at Star of the Sea since it opened in 2017, and says she had to mention that it is a beautiful home, with a great location, amenities and care staff.
\n\u201cI truly feel that being a nurse makes oneself better. A nurse should be caring, polite, understanding, patient, knowledgeable and empathetic.
\n\u201cThe 2020 pandemic has made it crystal clear that nurses are so important, we are fighters and life savers. We spend our time and energy to bring about good outcomes, by understanding the needs and problems of the resident.
\n\u201cI try to be a better nurse, and individual, every day, and use the opportunity I have to give a helping hand to others. It really is an awesome feeling to experience the happiness of the residents and smile on their face when we are caring for them.\u201d
\nIf you\u2019d like to know more about the care options at Star of the Sea Aged Care Residence<\/a>, please give us a call on 1300 845 526.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
