Speaker 2: take part in this program.

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: Why was it something that you wanted to do.

31
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: I've always been interested in remote health and I used

32
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: to work at ampstands with Uncle John Patterson, and I

33
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: used to talk to the nurses that came to our

34
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: meetings about their experiences and I was just so passionate

35
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 3: and I was like, that's sounds interesting and I would

36
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: love to do that. But then when I was at UNI,

37
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: I got offered a rotation placement to actually go and

38
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 3: be in Rorai, South Goulbn Island. And when I was there,

39
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: I was just bored by the nurses and the jobs

40
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: that they do, and I was so excited. I was like, Yes,

41
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: this is definitely where I want to be. And when

42
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: I saw this program, I just got excited and I

43
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: was like this was made for me.

44
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: How awesome and you know, I like that remote nursing

45
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: and getting out there to the communities. It sounds like

46
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: he's something that you know that sort of gets in

47
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: your blood. I suppose that there's some you know, some

48
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 2: nurses really love getting out there and being part.

49
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: Of it all.

50
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 3: Yes, very much so. And just being a part of

51
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: the community and being able to give back is just great.

52
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now tell me what have you chosen to focus on.

53
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: I just love.

54
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: I love child health and working within child health. At

55
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: the moment, that's become a great little passion.

56
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: Yeah.

57
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: And where and do you know where you're going to

58
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: be based or is there an area where you're hoping

59
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: to be based.

60
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: I'm not sure where I'm going to be based yet,

61
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: but I love the Tiwi Islands and normal I would

62
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: love to go there.

63
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: Now.

64
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: Do you think that the program's going to help to

65
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: attract and recruit and also retain nurses and midwives in

66
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: the Northern Territory, because that's all.

67
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: Part of it.

68
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: Yes, I think so, because, especially for remote health, previously

69
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: you had to have at least five years or more

70
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: experienced before going remote, and this was a great opportunity

71
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 3: to get nurses to go remote and see what it's

72
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: like and actually work remote.

73
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it sounds like it sounds like a really

74
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 2: great thing to do, and particularly you know, being able

75
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: to get out there and get that hands on experience.

76
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: Yes, it's very good.

77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: Well, good on you.

78
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: And I suppose to anybody out there listening who's maybe

79
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: thinking to themselves, oh, I'm considering working out in a

80
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: remote in a remote area, what would you say to them?

81
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: Give it a try, and it's such a great opportunity

82
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: and it's the best place to work.

83
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: Well. Anty Health registered nurse Hadi Noonan, I really appreciate
