A chance opportunity five years ago to attend a careers event with a friend has now landed a Rotorua girl her dream job as a nurse.
Rotorua s Katelyn London, 21, will start her working career at Rotorua Hospital s medical ward under the nurse-entry-to-practice programme next month after coming across the profession on an off-chance five years ago. My friend wanted to go to a careers lecture about nursing and she didn t want to go alone, so I went along, she said.
