When did you decide to become a nurse and who or what gave you this idea?
I knew at the age of ten that I wanted to be a nurse. As a child, I was often in the hospital and I admired the work of the nurses very much.
Do you remember your first working day at FNM?
Yes, I joined COS II as an instrumentalist. ORT. I was worried about the new team in such a big hospital, but I was very pleasantly surprised already on the first day. My new colleagues were very nice and helpful.
You work in the Central Sterilization Department. What brought you to this field?
As an instrument nurse, I started helping out at the Central Sterilization Department at a time when they were struggling with a shortage of nurses. I liked the work. When the opportunity arose to work here long-term, I took the position of station nurse.
What qualities and prerequisites do you think a person who decides to work in the healthcare sector should have?
He should be empathetic, willing to work with sick people, act professionally, behave politely, observe hygiene and dress cleanly.
Can you remember something that most pleased or amused you at work recently?
They are mostly stories from the lives of my colleagues.
How do you relax, what do you think is the best rest?
I like to relax most in the already mentioned favorite activities. I enjoy sewing clothes, crocheting and gardening.
What was your biggest childhood dream?
Becoming a nurse and the "talking" doll that Santa then brought me.
Do you have a guaranteed recipe for stress management?
I don't stress, I know that everything can be solved somehow.
Have you made any resolutions for the new year?
I've stopped making New Year's resolutions because I don't keep them anyway.
Is there anyone who is life inspiration for you?
I don't have anyone, I try to make the people around me happy and feel good.
