In honour of International Nurses Day, we’re sharing the journeys of some of our wonderful IRT nurses. This is Victoria’s story:
“With only just recently beginning my nursing career, it has been so exciting that I have been able to achieve my childhood dream. How fortunate for me that I was able to begin my nursing career in the New Graduate program with IRT Macarthur. The New Graduate program provided me with support and guidance that has helped me become the confident nurse I am today. Each day, I come to work knowing that I make a difference in the lives of others, by providing care in their time of need. I enjoy working in partnership with my team and I am so thankful for my supportive and passionate care manager and for her ongoing support. "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."” - Victoria Thomas, IRT Macarthur

She manages the design, delivery, implementation and scheduling of our RTO courses and also manages our team of amazing Trainers, supports our L&D team whilst working hard to continuously improve our course offerings and the student experience.

There are days when human kindness shines (like today's sunshine). ☀️

One of our team visited a new client last week. This older woman's home had been vandalised, her handbag, phone and ID stolen several weeks ago. She was isolated and afraid with no formal or informal supports.

Near the end of a long day of waiting to reactivate her bank card, reissue her ID and connect with her doctor we asked her if she was hungry. She replied 'yes' and that she would love some 'fish'. But with only $5 to her name, our support worker offered to shout her the difference to buy the $11 meal.

The take-away shop worker overheard the conversation and gave this woman the meal for $5, restoring her dignity. It was generous and well received with a huge grin.

A little bit of kindness goes a long way. 🧡🧡🧡
