Derek Howard
Midwife and nurse, Sydney
- 🇨🇦 Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada
- 2014 to 2024
- English, Spanish
I've been a nurse for ten years, most of them in orthopedics at Sydney University Hospital in Sydney. Night shifts taught me patience, and patients taught me everything else.
I'm usually the first one in and the last to leave. Small things matter when someone is frightened.
If you remember me, I'd love to hear from you.
More about Derek
I still get cards from families years later. They're pinned to my fridge.
Areas of care
What gifts mean to Derek: I'd put gifts toward a training course in palliative care.
