Loved by her colleagues and patients alike, Sharon’s career with MLHD began as a cleaner, then wards person and eventually as an Assistant in Nursing (AIN) following the completion of her studies in 2010.
“I started back as a cleaner back in 1987 and just loved the environment. Then we needed wards people, so I did that while I was studying for my AIN’s, Sharon said.
“I just love working with the oldies, they are insightful and very funny at times. I enjoy my work and invest quality time with the patients I care for. Sometimes it’s the little things that can make the biggest difference,” Sharon said.
“I feel fortunate to be working with such a fantastic bunch of people, we all just get on with the doing and make sure our people are well taken care of,” Sharon said.
Carly Silberberg, Nurse Manager at Junee Hospital, congratulated Sharon on her special achievement this week.
“35 years in the health service is no easy feat; and Sharon’s skills, care and lovely personality really do shine through. We thank her for her dedication and contribution to the team, her patients and to MLHD over the past 35 years,” Carly said.
