Special Guest: Hannah Cotterell - Paediatric Emergency Nurse

Welcome back to another episode of the New Grad Radio Podcast. It is with my pleasure that I introduce my first special guest to be on the podcast: Hannah Cotterell. After completing our university together, Hannah was accepted into a prestigious graduate program into the Emergency Department at one of Australia's leading children's hospitals. In the episode today, Hannah elaborates on her own nursing journey, including a job she held whilst at university which has helped her immensely; an exciting two-week placement in Cambodia; as well as some first-hand experiences and advice that I think is absolute gold for anyone to hear. Whether you are a student nurse with an upcoming paediatric placement; a student, or registered nurse considering a transition into paediatric nursing; or simply after a little more information on the career of a nurse working in as a paediatric nurse in a busy Emergency Department, I believe you will have many take-aways from Hannah's words of wisdom. As always, thank you very much for listening, and if you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to send a message through on the Facebook page: search "New Grad Radio Podcast". This was my first attempt at interviewing, with there being a few clunky sections; but just like nursing, with a positive attitude, and persistence, it’ll only get better! Thanks to Hannah for her patience.
