When you think of nursing you might think of hospitals and clinics but there are so many different opportunities to develop your skills and progress your career here in Australia, and this can even include working in correctional facilities.

In Episode 6 our host Kate Creedon is joined by two Alliance nurses working in this unique clinical setting. Billy O’Donoghue is a general nurse originally from Cork in Ireland who moved to Sydney during the pandemic, while Aaron Lynch is a mental health nurse who travelled from Ireland to Australia early last year. Billy and Aaron share their stories of their time working within correctional facilities, as well as their experiences of travelling around Australia and why they would “tell everyone to come over here and do at least 12 months”.

We also hear from Annemarie Curtis, Alliance Nursing’s NSW Branch Manager who helps explain the skills needed to thrive in this environment, and why there is such a demand for nurses in this area.
