Neighbourly Good Sort: Nurse Kerri Cooley
The Hawke's Bay DHB is celebrating the International Year of the Nurse & Midwife with a profile on Kerri Cooley.
"Surgical nurse director Kerri Cooley exudes warmth, intelligence, energy and passion – a combination that has served her well during her 40-odd years of nursing. Nursing wasn’t Kerri's first choice, but it turned out to be the perfect fit. Kerri’s love of people and clinical passion has seen her work across many specialties such as gerontology, surgical, paediatrics, district and public health nursing, but the machinery of the hospital environment kept drawing her back toward hospital placements – her specialty of choice being surgical nursing where she enjoyed 20 years on the shop floor before moving into more senior roles."
