The largest group of graduate nurses to complete their final stage of training at Wellington Hospital has been honoured. Kerrie Hayes, director of nursing, said the group of 68 was the largest intake taken on to complete the final year of workplace training as registered nurses. "So many people, including their charge nurse management, commented on what an exceptional group of nurses they were. They were resilient and committed to everything they had to do and learn." The final year is designed as "on-the- job" training, which qualifies nurses to work in a hospital. Nearly all of the 68 gained employment with Capital and Coast District Health Board. Mrs Hayes said many were "outstanding stars" who had coped well during a year of unrest that included the move into the new hospital. Amber Davies, 25, who spent most of her training time in paediatrics, said the ceremony had given her "a fantastic sense of achievement". She now works in the neonatal intensive care unit. She rated coming to grips with shift work as the hardest thing to deal with in her new position. |
