Episode 3: 'Moet Moments' of Celebration. Taking a risk to ditch her dad's career expectations for a nursing career she loves. Rae Richardson, 48, Sunshine Coast

Today's episode is with Rae Richardson, a quadrigenarian, or 48 year old woman, from Sunshine Coast, Queensland. An outline of Rae's story: From hairdressing and a 'bad-hair-day' fix-up for her Barbie doll, to a last-minute ditching of an accounting career that went against her dad's plan for Rae in life.  Rae chose a career in nursing. She crossed out all the accounting courses on her university entry form and replaced them with the nursing course, with the help of a guidance counsellor.   Rae shares her experience of nursing as a hospital trained nurse through to being the Director of Nursing at Buderim Private Hospital. In between which, she also managed the change and transformation of the private hospital in Hervey Bay - the first fully digital hospital in Australia. Rae was recognised as a Telstra Business Woman finalist for her achievements as a nurse and leader of a hospital. Rae shares about her being seconded, the 'roll up her sleeves' and get things done and bringing "Moet" moments of celebration into the cycle of achievements of the team working up at Hervey Bay. We talk about Rae's perception of 'what's old mean to you', her naughtiest moment, earliest memory, her happiest memory of her mum and what she'd tell her 10 year old daughter now ie. something that Rae wished she herself had been told as a girl. Rae it was a pleasure as usual chatting with you over coffee.  Thank you for sharing your story. This week's learning curve: use headsets Susan, it's a bit echoey! But we couldn't, we only had one pair! Well, OK then... but next time!! Please give Rae some love with a ❤️ in the comments below.
