Michele Gourd – Nursing Services Coordinator

Michele started her nursing career over 25 years ago as an Enrolled Nurse working in the acute sector, then moved into Aged Care where her skills were utilised in time to coordinate a Dementia Care Unit from scratch.

Wanting a slight change in career but still wanting to utilise her knowledge of nursing, Michele started to work for a nursing agency as a placement consultant. Over a six-year period Michele’s abilities to work in a professional and friendly manner aided her in progressing from placement consultant to staff trainer for placement consultants to finally becoming a recruitment coordinator responsible for filtering applications and confirming employment opportunities for appropriate staff.
