REGISTERED NURSE 20
CARING FOR PATIENTS THE VOCATION OF NURSING
writer SARA CARBERY photographer LOGAN WEST
FRANCESCA FLORES-LIM was inspired to become a nurse after hearing stories from her dad about the nurses who cared for him after he had a serious accident. “My dad is a burns survivor and spent many months in the hospital, as well as ongoing rehabilitation,” she explains. “There was one nurse in particular that my dad would always talk about as if she was his ‘guardian angel’ during a really difficult time. “I aspire to be like this nurse for the patients I care for.” After graduating from Selwyn College, Francesca (21) enrolled in a Bachelor of Health Science (Nursing) at AUT, supported by an AUT New Horizons scholarship. “I absolutely loved AUT,” she says. “The lecturers were all friendly and the friends you make during university and placements all have hearts of gold.” Since graduating from university at the end of last year, Francesca has been working as a registered nurse on a general medicine ward at North Shore Hospital.
