Ofrah

size 6

Paediatric nurse

Ofrah wasn’t encouraged to go into nursing when she was at school – it wasn’t perceived as a job that could lead to other opportunities. When she was about 14, Ofrah’s mother became sick and Ofrah went with her to medical appointments to act as a translator, English into Arabic. She also visited her mother in the hospital and had very positive experiences with the staff. Later on, Ofrah became a nurse and her sister became a doctor, informed by the experiences that they’d had. For Ofrah, a sense of inquisitiveness is central to being a nurse – it’s important to ask the right questions so that you can understand different patients and their different personal and cultural needs.
