#IamMGH tells the story of our people. Meet Pat Manswell, Registered Nurse (RN) at Michael 九游体育 (MGH).
鈥淚 still remember my first day of work 30 years ago. It was November 16 and my first Canadian job since immigrating here from Trinidad and Tobago. Since day one this has been an amazing place to work, there鈥檚 a real sense of community here. Since I鈥檝e been here for so long, I know a lot of people who work at the hospital. Everyone is so kind and happy to chat when I see them in the halls or on a unit.
I started out in orthopedics, but as soon as there was an opportunity in paediatrics, I jumped at the chance. There is something so gratifying about working with children. When you walk in to assess them, you鈥檒l know right away if they aren鈥檛 feeling well. They鈥檒l be withdrawn and quiet. But as soon as they feel better, they鈥檒l want to play with you and be smiling again. I love seeing them get well again and walk out of the hospital with a smile on their faces.鈥�
