Tammi O’Shea knows the people of Sarina as well as the halls of its hospital better than most.
The nurse unit manager has lived in Sarina since the tender age of four and made the decision to take up nursing in her early high school years.
“I have two aunties in nursing and a great aunt, so I’ve known since about Grade Nine that I wanted to be a nurse,” Tammi said.
After completing her degree at CQ University, she started working at Sarina Hospital as a post-grad registered nurse and over the course of the next 10 years she worked her way up to the position of nurse unit manager.
She loves her job and the Sarina lifestyle.
“It’s a four-minute drive to work, and I spend plenty of time on the floor,” Tammi said.
“Sarina is a great location with a fantastic team.
"We enjoy the opportunity to get to know our patients and provide them with more personalised care.”
Tammi has had the opportunity to visit the construction site of the new Sarina Hospital and is excited to watch it taking shape.
“I have been involved since the initial planning stages including reviewing the floor plans,” Tammi said.
“It has been awesome to see these plans come to life at the new site with more and more progress made each week.
“I am excited to continue working on the transition across the highway which for me will involve tasks like recruitment of new nurses, staff training and familiarisation and equipment selection.
“A fresh new facility for Sarina is just what the doctor ordered!”
