Life is all about Balance !
Bernadette on her recent holiday to New York

I was telling you about Geraldine recently and how she doesn't really know what she wants to do when she leaves school.
Bernadette, my third daughter had that dilemma 3 years ago. As she had an ability to write well she began to think about being a journalist. So she started University doing a communications degree. For a part time job she was coming to work with me at the hospital to help with the administrative duties of the unit. Shortly after starting, Bernadette found herself doing all the administrative duties on her own, due to our receptionist going on sick leave.
Being in the unit and seeing the work we do opened her eyes to what nursing is all about. Then last year she decided she wanted to become a nurse. Being the diligent student she is, she also wanted to finish her communication degree and start a nursing degree at the same time. So this year has seen her working very hard at both degrees as well as working 3 days a week with me at the hospital, sometimes as a nursing assistant and other doing administrative duties. She has become a valued member of the unit.
