Karin N. Van Wyk

13 years in neonatal care nursing

  • ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa
  • Johannesburg Maternity Hospital
  • Since 1991
  • English, Zulu
I've been a nurse for 35 years, most of them in neonatal care at Johannesburg Maternity Hospital in Johannesburg. Night shifts taught me patience, and patients taught me everything else. The thing I'm proudest of is that families usually remember my name. I'm always reading two books at once.

Some of my best friends I met on the ward.
What gifts mean to Karin: Anything sent will help me keep volunteering at the clinic on weekends.
