1. What excites you about working in healthcare?

The opportunity to support people. I grew up around a lot of family, including my Grandparents and Aunties and so love being among people. I took care of my Grandmother before she passed, and this is what made me interested in the healthcare industry. Before moving to the UK, I was working in the industry for years, and had been a nurse for 3 years. My plan is to work towards meeting the requirements to be able to practice as a nurse here in England.

2. How did you find the induction training with First City?

I found the induction very educating. When I thought about healthcare I thought it was just taking care of people, I didn't know there were so many rules and so many different forms of equipment. It all sounded very complicated but became less so as I started using them during and after the shadow shifts. I liked the trainer's method of teaching, it was very attention grabbing using real life scenarios. I really enjoyed learning it all!

3. How has your induction to the role been?

I have found colleagues to be really helpful. Being new, I was confused easily as I came across new circumstances, however my colleagues really helped me. If I wasn't sure about something, they have been very patient and understanding. I am very comfortable with my colleagues, any questions I have had have been received with no hard expression, they have been eager to help me.

4. Thinking about the start of your journey working for First City, how would you describe the company?

Professional, but also laid back. I have found First City have people that really care a lot. If there are any problems I can call the office, they will listen, we talk it through and they're ready to help. I have found First City to be supportive, I can always go to them. It's like a family, everyone interacts like a family would.

5. Do you have any other comments you would like to share?

I look forward to more training with First City and am happy for the opportunity to continue to develop!

We look forward to speaking with Miracle again in a few months time to see how their journey with First City is progressing.
