World Teachers' Day

Sometimes you can get in your own way and say, ‘I don't know if I can do that.’ You can. You just need to give it a go.

There is no amount of learning that is ever lost – take every opportunity.

As an educator, you really have the ability to affect and positively change your student’s journey through their learning.

Never underestimate the power and impact you have on each student you teach and use it wisely!

I still love teaching as much as the day I started more than 20 years ago. I get the opportunity to share my lived experience with the students I teach.

If they are genuinely passionate about this career, the possibilities are endless.

I was drawn to supporting students - they were nervous and worried. I saw myself in them and thought I could help.

It made me feel great too, working together and sharing a sense of achievement.

Teaching students the skills pathology collectors do can not only change their lives with a potential career change, but also can change the lives of patients and those who they come into contact with.

When I started working in a hospital, I always found nursing educators were as rare as hen's teeth.

So, I started to educate myself and verify my understanding with an educator or my senior nursing staff, and they encouraged me to become an educator.
