Zigi Howes - Registered Nurse, 5 East
How long have you been in the nursing profession? I made a career change in 2014. I became an AIN and have been an RN since 2015 What are three things that you are most proud of about your profession?
The things I am most proud of about our profession as nurses are our teamwork, knowing that we look out for each other as well as our paƟents. That we can make a meaningful difference to peoples lives and that we have been able to maintain our professionalism during tough Ɵmes. What would you have been if you had not done nursing? I would probably sƟll be a set builder/installer working in events. Sad to say, likely unemployed at the moment. What is your best nursing story? I think it was my first ever day on a ward as an AIN. I came out of handover to find 2 very Ɵred night shiŌ nurses crawling around a paƟent’s room. Turns out they were looking for a leech that had gone missing from a hands paƟents re - aƩached digit. I now know how slippery those liƩle suckers are. Best travel desƟnaƟon you have visited and why? I once spent 3 months travelling Europe and spent 2 weeks travelling around Estonia. The
food and beer there was incredible. I came back about 10kg heavier. If you were to invite five people to dinner, who would you choose? Right now I would love to be able to have family come over for dinner. Outside of lockdown in a fantasy life I would choose 1. Mike PaƩon (Singer) 2. Kristen Wiig (Comedian) 3. Nobuo Oematsu (Video game music composer) 4. Andy Anderson (Pro Skateboarder) 5. Drew Barrymore (High school Celeb crush)
