Joining the Bethanie team as an aged care worker, Michelle was then encouraged and sponsored to undergo an Enrolled Nurse traineeship and is now completing her Registered Nurse training. It means she’s not just great at making friends with all the residents – she can ensure they’re getting the best of care, too.
