An Alexander's Nurse: a unique opportunity to make a difference
We asked our team of nurses what makes their job so special. Here is what they said…
It's about personal connections
"As an Alexander's Nurse, the human element of care takes centre stage. We make real connections with the children and their families, it feels like such a privilege to be a part of their lives. Being welcomed into their homes and being there for the good and the hard times."
It's about having time
"Every child is so unique. I relish the time to explore the things they are passionate about so that I can provide individualised play and care experiences. It is also knowing that I have time to sit with a parent, child or sibling and be present when they need our help."
It's about trust
"Building strong relationships that create trust – trust that we will provide the best care for their precious child, trust that they can leave their child safely, trust that we really care and are invested in their child having a great time, trust that we will be there no matter what."
It's about making life a little easier
"It might be giving exhausted parents a little break or perhaps being able to guide and fix problems so as to avoid unnecessary or painful hospital trips. We can be there to help when they need us and make coping just a little bit easier."
It's about the variety
"No two days are ever the same, whether I am in the hospice, in the community, at schools, in hospital or in the family homes. My job is creative, fun, caring, varied, engaging, exciting and so very rewarding."
It's about the opportunities
"It is such a privilege to be able to give experiences to children who may be limited in what they can access. It is why I especially love doing hydrotherapy and seeing the children so relaxed and happy in the water and be able to move much more freely."
It's about the small things
"I do this job because the smiles and hugs from the children are worth their weight in gold"
It's about more than clinical
"We are not just there for the clinical, our care supports all the needs of the child."
It's about the team
"Our team is special. The support, love and care everyone gives each other is phenomenal. There are tough days but we are all there for each other."
