If you've ever thought about making the jump into referral nursing, but felt like it was too big or scary a leap, then today’s episode is for you.
Today I’m joined by Heather Simcock, a registered veterinary nurse and internal medicine nurse at The Ralph Referral Centre. Heather is a colleague - and friend - and she began working with me as a rotating nurse in 2020.
Today, Heather shares her career so far, and how she went from being unsure about moving into referral practice, to discovering her passion for medicine and joining the team after one 4 week rotation in the service.
If you’re curious about referral nursing or are thinking of making the jump into referrals yourself, Heather has some great words of wisdom for you.
