@christeeny1 I loved this, had to comment. Meaningful, thoughtful and couldn’t be more patient centred 🙌 be proud 🥰

[Leonie 🌻 @BecominganOT]

@SNurseAbbie 30 and retrained to be an OT. Looking back I would never have been ready before i got to that age. Values and priorities weren’t there yet. Never too late to embrace your passions and try new things 🙌

[Leonie 🌻 @BecominganOT]

@Karen_MakHW @Daisy_Fancourt @Saoirsefinn Absolutely 😀 Thank you so much for sharing! I feel a poster coming on 🙌

[Leonie 🌻 @BecominganOT]

@Karen_MakHW Hey, i’m just wondering if this list of benefits was backed by any specific research or refs you wouldn’t mind sharing? ☺️I’m always passionate to summarise info like this on my ward the way you have here, but prefer to know whats backing it up so i’m ready for any skeptics 🙌

[Leonie 🌻 @BecominganOT]

@ot_abbie This hit me right where i needed it at exactly the right time. Similarly, 1 week in to a new job. Let’s just say the challenges are bringing so much discomfort 😅 But i’m holding on to the growth that will come from it. Although we will need to remind ourselves throughout 🙌💚

[Leonie 🌻 @BecominganOT]

@cat_gillard Hi Cat. Good to connect 🙌
Thank so much for your supportive and thoughtful message too ☺️

Operation ‘move to New Zealand’ complete.

@suzyjwilkinson Now, since you’re questioning it anyway🤭 i stopped after a year as a challenge to myself to just believe in my abilities and knowledge as an AHP

[Leonie 🌻 @BecominganOT]

@fisheraddiction Loved reading this. I’ve specialised in mental health most my career and now OT. Due to start a role on a MH and addictions ward next month. Would love to keep in touch and engage with more OT peers within addiction services, should there be any peer groups, or we can build on 🤭

[Leonie 🌻 @BecominganOT]

@LouOT10 I’ll DM you 🙂

1/2 It’s almost a bittersweet feeling promoting your own job. But what an amazing experience I’ve had. If i wasn’t moving away, i’d have stayed in this service a long time.

This morning: Received confirmation that I’m now a registered Occupational Therapist in New Zealand with the OTBNZ.

This afternoon: Informed my team I’ll be leaving and moving away.

The reality is kicking in now.
The next couple of months is going to be intense.
