Ramona Kathy Chu
Nurse Educator - Wagga Wagga

Each day is a new, unique learning opportunity. I have worked in the nursing profession for over 20 years; 10 of which being in the United Kingdom, a short stint in Canada and 10 years in Australia. Although I also hold a US RN license after passing the NCLEX, I haven’t ventured pursuing my career in the US as my family and I have fallen in love with the lifestyle that Australia has offered us.

 I have primarily worked in the critical care settings of ICU, HDU and CCU. Having had the experience of working for the district as clinical nurse specialist and clinical educator in the renal unit, I have come to realise that my greatest passion lies in bedside nursing and imparting the acquired knowledge, essential skills and positive attitude I have learnt and continue to share with my colleagues; whether they be  a junior, senior nurse or a student.
