Andrea

size 8

Matron in a hospital's emergency department

Andrea talks about the challenging nature of the work, how frustrating it is to be criticised for waiting times – but also the support that she receives from her “emergency department family”. She values the feeling that she can have such an impact on someone’s life in a short space of time. She talks about her journey into nursing, via being a St. John’s Ambulance Cadet and volunteering in older peoples’ homes, and the skills she has developed as a nurse. She also talks about a run-in with Rihanna at a music festival!
