My name is Tanja Harris and I am a paediatric nurse from
Gympie Hospital.

I started paediatric nursing in 1992 in Germany where I
did my nurse's training.

I have worked in paediatric rheumatology in Germany, at
the former Royal Children's Hospital in Brisbane and at the Caboolture
paediatric unit before moving to Gympie, where I've been working on the
paediatric unit since 2006.

I love our little unit and its team and I am grateful to Wishlist
for providing me with financial support for my studies.

Having completed the studies for my certificate in
paediatric nursing has solidified my paediatric knowledge and I enjoyed
reflecting on paediatric practice with other students from paediatric units all
over Australia.

I'm sharing my newly gained knowledge with my colleagues
and NUM and we are incorporating this into our daily practice.
