A life changing career

All the best

Ingrid Harvey, Chief Executive Officer

Meet Loving Sobron, one of our amazing Registered Nurses at BlueCross The Mews, Camberwell. Loving has been caring for residents at The Mews for just over ten years and explains how he decided to become a nurse.

Loving was born in Mauritius, and in his teenage years, while on holiday, he broke his wrist quite badly. Loving was in a lot of pain and the whole experience was quite stressful. He was very unimpressed with the care and treatment he received and knew he could do much better. From this experience, a seed was planted in Loving’s mind, to become a nurse and provide the best care for others that he could.

When Loving finished school, he took a brave leap of faith and moved to Melbourne on his own, in order to study nursing. At the time he was just 18 years old. However his bravery and determination have paid off as he now happily cares for older residents at BlueCross The Mews.

“This was my first job, and I have been here for ten years” he explained.

“It is great working in the Aged Care community. At this stage in their lives it’s important to help residents feel comfortable, and make sure they have a good life. It makes me feel happy.”

Loving’s personal reward from helping residents feel comfortable and happy is echoed throughout the team.

Feeling joy from connecting with residents is a common thread in great nurses and care workers. It’s also reflected in the BlueCross Starfish values, Be there and Make their day.

Loving clearly chose the right career and we can all be grateful for that, remarked BlueCross CEO Ingrid Harvey.
