The Goodwood clinic celebrated National Nurses Day by taking time out to give back to their staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday 12 May the clinic staff decided to educate themselves on wills and the importance of having a will. This topic was led by guest speaker Abraham Dawson, an attorney, notary and senior conveyancer at AV Dawson Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this discussion, the group concluded \u201cNo will, no peace\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thereafter, the Goodwood clinic staff had an activity session led by Natasha Sampson and her team, who are from the recreation and parks, community services and health. During these activities, Sampson made emphasis and reminded the staff that \u201cto put on music and dancing is a form of exercise\u201d. Sampson said as a healthcare worker one easily forgets to take care of yourself as well, but putting on music and dancing can help you relax and move your body, as a form of exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nurses felt special<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Suzetta Smith, a nurse who started working at Goodwood CDC in July last year, said it was very informative, fantastic and uplifting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSometimes people don\u2019t see what a nurse does,\u201d Smith said. But she is grateful to the health promoter, Naomi Mingo, who went out of her way to make the day special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI appreciate it and I feel very special to be a nurse from Goodwood CDC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margret James, a professional nurse at Goodwood CDC, said their Nurses\u2019 Day celebration was a good experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was nice to see and know people appreciated their services,\u201d James said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to her, it is not always easy, but on Nurses Day they felt very special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a day filled with fun, laughter and relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was good to destress and take care of ourselves; it was a joyful day with spoils,\u201d James concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
