Episode notes

Welcome to For The Health Of It Podcast. A Healthcare Australia podcast, made for Healthcare professionals by a nurse on the inside. Your host today is Jess Tully, the HCA Brand Ambassador and Registered Nurse herself, and she had the pleasure of interviewing two incredible nurses who dedicate their time to giving back with Mercy Ship.


Have you ever felt overwhelmed at how many google search results come up when your searching for volunteer nursing work abroad? There are so many different companies and organisations and it makes the whole process feel extremely overwhelming. Mercy Ship is a very well known company that gives back and this episode is going to be interviewing 2 nurses with 2 different perspectives and reasons why they choose to give back to Mercy Ship.


Jono is a full time nurse, and husband. He dedicates time yearly to serve on Mercy Ship to give back and states it's his 'piece of the puzzle' that he has found to fill his cup.


Abby is a dedicated worker on mercy Ship and it about to embark on her 8th trip. She has been able to do long stints of 4+ months at a time serving for Mercy Ship and loves giving back.


You get to hear both perspectives of each individual and the reasons they dedicate their time, finances and professional life to Mercy Ship's mission
