Róisín Dunphy, Staff Nurse Clonmacnoise Ward, Midland Regional Hospital Tullamore said, “I joined the Midland Regional Hospital Tullamore in 2024 as Graduate Staff Nurse. Like many other Graduates who started alongside me, we entered the hospital nervous and excited to begin our careers as newly qualified professionals. My colleagues in the Hospital have been very welcoming and supportive from the day I arrived. I always wanted to work directly with people and as a nurse you get the opportunity to advocate and care for individuals and support them through health and illness.

I have had many opportunities to learn and expand my skills across specialities since joining the hospital. Going forward I would love to undertake a Postgraduate in Palliative Care as this is an area I have a special interest in. I would highly recommend the Midland Regional Hospital Tullamore for any Graduate Staff Nurses who are looking to begin an exciting and rewarding career in the Midlands Region.”
