Croydon has second-highest hospital admission rate for asthma in London. My team aims to reduce that by 40% in the next year
I love being a paediatric nurse – it’s part of who I am. I’m back from maternity leave and have started a new role as a children’s asthma specialist nurse, for the Croydon children’s hospital at Home Community Team. It’s my 10th job since qualifying as a paediatric nurse. It was the 10-minute commute, team and culture of flexible working that sealed the deal. I received a call 15 minutes after leaving the interview to offer me the post. I’d only got to Tesco Express. They said they were bowled over by me. It’s the nicest thing that’s ever been said to me on being offered a job.
I wake up at 6.30am trying not to wake my two children till later; once they’re awake it’s all go, so I try and get a head start. I work flexibly, compressing my hours over three days. I arrive at the health centre I’m based at for 8.30am on the days I don’t do the nursery run.
