Lia

size 5

Adult nurse

Lia is frustrated by the incorrect perceptions people have of nursing, when actually it’s a highly skilled job involving influencing and decision-making. She has worked in neuro-theatre as a scrub nurse (putting drains in to ensure that fluid doesn’t accumulate on the brain) and in A&E. In A&E, she deals with people who are feeling vulnerable and angry; she has to remind herself that they’re angry because they are ill and/or feel helpless – that it isn’t about her. She says that when you stop being affected emotionally by what happens, it’s time to do another job.
