Why you enjoy being a nurse/ urology field
All things ‘urological’ fascinate me.

Who would think our kidneys are complex, environmentally friendly waste centres that tirelessly work to filter our blood, keeping us alive.

How amazing is the small ‘walnut sized’ action packed prostate that feeds and nurtures sperm essential to new life, but causes such havoc in men’s lives.

Who doesn’t spend a day not thinking about their bladder.

I am honored to be a listening ear to those awkward ‘below the belt’ conversations and strive to be a part of the solution.

Every aspect of nursing is equally interesting and rewarding. It is a privileged position, one we aspire to respect and build on.
