If you have been on the ward for 10 years, either you want to change or you want to step up.<\/p>\n<p>From January to April 2020, I was doing bank shifts and attending many job interviews.<\/p>\n<p>I must admit that not all of my interviews were successful.\u00a0But I saw every rejection as a redirection!<\/p>\n<p>Then in May 2020, I started my first day as a PPE Safety Officer.<\/p>\n<p>I initially worked with at least ten redeployed nurses, but when they went back to the normal roles, I was on my own doing all the Fit Testing.<\/p>\n<p>I must admit it was really hard work, but I became more confident, competent, knowledgeable, skillful and creative.<\/p>\n<p>I am so grateful that my God has been on my side wherever I have gone. He made me more resilience and full of integrity.<\/p>\n<p>After several months, I became a Lead Fit Tester across the Trust.<\/p>\n<p>I am using my job to empower colleagues with positivity and empowerment during their Fit testing sessions.<\/p>\n<p>My purpose for sharing my story, is to tell people that there is hope in the middle of the storm.<\/p>\n<p>What was meant for harm, God turned it for my advantage.\u00a0\u201cTo God be all the glory\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, God control the universe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year 2020, a very memorable year to all of us.
