Meet Meeya—the singing nurse! 🎤
She's a Clinical Nurse in Logan Hospital's Paediatric Emergency Department (ED), mum of five, singer/songwriter and studying to become a Nurse Practitioner. 🌟
“As a senior paediatric nurse, I'm often the shift manager in the department,” Meeya said.
“I support junior staff, help with audits to improve our healthcare delivery and promote a positive working culture. I also get to know the families and help their children feel at ease about being in hospital.”
Meeya grew up in Brisbane before moving to Melbourne, where she lived for 15 years. There, she was a graphic designer, singer and musician until a serious illness changed her life in 2009. While being treated for swine flu in the intensive care unit (ICU), Meeya realised nursing was her calling.
“I loved my nurses so much I wanted to be one!” she said.
After getting her nursing degree in Melbourne, Meeya returned to Queensland and worked for a nursing agency for a few months. She applied for a permanent position in the Logan Hospital Emergency Department, and the rest is history.
“It was the best decision ever,” she said.
“I love how the team on shift (nurses, doctors, social workers, mental health) all work together for the good of the children. Everything we do is for them, and their families, making it safe for them, helping them to feel at ease and bringing joy.
“Having that shared goal is fundamental for positive outcomes and the team at Logan brings that every single shift.”
Meeya is passionate about helping families from different cultures to learn and feel empowered about their children’s health. She also has a special spot in her heart for the parents who bring their sick children into the ED. 🥰
“I was a mum before I was a nurse and will never forget how difficult it was being in hospital with my children, not understanding what was going on sometimes,” she said.
Outside of work, Meeya still loves to write songs and sing. She has her own YouTube channel, 'Musical Medicine with Nurse Meeya', where she performs her original songs to help children learn about their bodies and feel brave about hospital visits. 🎶
Thanks for sharing your incredible story with us, Meeya. 🤩
