Juniper Gerdewoonem registered nurse Linda Parry has been recognised for her outstanding support of nursing students, receiving the Majarlin Clinical Preceptor Award at last week’s Kununurra Recognition Awards.
Linda was nominated by two Majarlin students in recognition of the exceptional support, guidance and mentorship she provided during their clinical placements.
One of the students who nominated Linda said she was an “amazing nurse to work with throughout our entire prac” and that her impact on their experience was something they would always remember.
“She was incredibly knowledgeable and never hesitated to share what she knew,” the student said.
“Anytime we were curious about something or wanted to observe something new, she was there to involve us and explain each step with patience and clarity.”
The student also spoke about the atmosphere Linda created at Gerdewoonem, saying her laughter, personality and “endless supply of stories” made her shifts enjoyable.
“She had a natural way of making everyone feel comfortable and was always happy to have a chat,” she said.
Residnetial Manager Elvira Even was proud to share Linda’s award “Your dedication to supporting students and sharing your knowledge not only enriches their learning experience, but also reflects the values and culture we strive to uphold.”
