Celebrating International Nurses day – Thursday 12th May 2022

Celebrating International Nurses Day

Today, Thursday 12th May is International Nurses Day and we will be seeing Nurses from around the world join forces to celebrate the difference they make to residents and patients every single day. The theme of this year’s event is ‘A Voice to Lead – Invest in nursing and respect rights to secure global health. To mark the event, a few of our nurses across our care homes have explained what they enjoy so much about being a Nurse and the satisfaction they get from working at Oakland Care.

“I was inspired by a family member growing up, my aunt was a nurse and I knew that is all I ever wanted to be”.

Sirju Rana is a qualified General Nurse with over 13 years of experience in Nursing. Having worked in both acute/complex needs hospital wards and Community Hospitals, Sirju has been working in care home management for the past six years.

Along with her Nursing degree, she holds a Level 5 diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People’s Services. Sirju is also a trained practice assessor/supervisor with the local university. She has a passion for a high standard of care, supporting the staff team, and is committed to delivering care tailored to the individual needs and preferences of each resident.

Sirju spoke about her motivation for joining the Nursing profession, she commented “I was inspired by a family member growing up, my aunt was a Nurse and I knew that is all I ever wanted to be”.

During her Nursing career, Sirju has had many key people investing in her growth including her tutors, mentors, colleagues, and all professionals who she has closely worked with. Sirju said, “I have always learnt from and been inspired by them, all these people have shaped me into the person I am today and have inspired me to continue to do what I truly believe in – sharing my knowledge and my skills with others, and standing up for the causes I truly care about”.

Sirju has been at Elmbrook Court for almost a year and says “It has such a welcoming family environment, also it’s an incredibly beautiful home”. People are at the top of the list of what she enjoys most about her role and declares, that she works alongside a highly motivated, dedicated, and caring team, who provide dedicated care to our residents – is the number one priority.

Rebecca Warman, General Manager of Elmbrook Court commented, “Sirju is one of the most dedicated and compassionate Nurses I have had the pleasure to work alongside. With a big heart and unwavering calmness, she brings both team members and residents along with her, shining a beautiful light throughout the home, and leading from the front to ensure exceptional care is echoed across the home”.

By joining us, you’ll have access to a range of learning and development opportunities, for which Sirju provides input into. From strengthening the existing skills of our Nurses to the education, guidance and mentoring of our senior carer assistants and growing our team of champions within the home, further ensuring excellence in our care delivery. Oakland Care Clinical Skills Programme further supports our vision”.
