Sammi Binney Registered Nurse – Oncology and Day Procedure
Tell us about your journey to join Mildura Health Private Hospital I haven’t lived at home since I was seventeen but when I decided to come back from overseas, I knew being at home for a while would be the best thing. I had worked as a Registered Nurse in Melbourne for two years before moving overseas and I’d also had a great experience as a patient at Mildura Health Private Hospital, so I applied for a casual position. I interviewed while I was still overseas and had the job waiting for me when I got home, it was perfect. Once I started here and got to know everyone, I quickly committed to full time. What inspired you to select your chosen field? I was lucky with my graduate position at Epworth where I split most of my time between theatre and oncology. I worked shifts on other wards but found that these two areas suited me the most. I find working in oncology so rewarding and I am forever challenging
myself to increase my knowledge and skills. Day procedure is also great as I am exploring the reasons why people have different surgeries. I love the balance of both areas. What is the most enjoyable part of your role? The best part is the people, my patients, and my colleagues. The staff are incredible, and it is such a supportive and positive environment to be in. I am so happy to go to work each day. What would you say to anyone wanting to become a nurse? Nursing is a career that is always changing, no shift is the same. I love that I can really make a difference to someone’s day or health journey just by being friendly and positive. I also love that I am forever learning new things. As a nurse there are so many different areas into which you can move.
Tell us about yourself. I was born and raised in Mildura with the best family and friends. After high school I spent my gap year working in Mildura before travelling around the United States. I then moved to Melbourne to study nursing and business administration. I travelled overseas a few times during university and after working for 2 years full time, I decided to move to the UK for a year and a half. I am not sure what is next but I am excited for what opportunities may arise.
