Home honours caring nurse
A NURSE at a care home was celebrated as part of International Nurses’ Day.
Lorraine O’Donnell has worked at Prestbury Beaumont care home for 10 years. Staff at the care home praised the work of Lorraine and her nursing colleagues by giving them chocolates.
Lorraine encouraged others to consider a career in nursing.
She said: “I joined nursing to make a difference and be part of a special team and enrich the life’s of the elderly.
“I feel younger people should consider the nursing profession in order to make a difference and improve quality of life.”
Sarah Lydon, general manager at the home on Collar House Drive, said International Nurses’ Day was a chance to celebrate and support nurses and care staff who make a real difference to the lives of those in their care.
She said: “At Prestbury Beaumont our nurses are hard-working, dedicated and passionate about caring for older people.
“We are also committed to helping develop newly qualified nurses with their leadership and clinical skills, which can often be invaluable in a career with increasing responsibilities and workload.”
