When daughter Shivani began studying nursing, Rina Buldaho couldn’t resist taking a look at her textbooks. Reading them immediately brought back happy memories of Rina’s own nursing studies, years before in Mauritius.
“I always wanted to be a nurse but back then I was more sensitive,” Rina tells Woman’s Day.
Despite winning a scholarship, she found the practical side of her studies a challenge. “Part of the way into my degree I did my first placement in a hospital and I just couldn’t cope with blood and sickness,” recalls Rina, who now lives in Melbourne.
She packed away her nursing dreams and became a social worker instead until five years ago when Shivani announced her own plan to train as a nurse. Soon, mum and daughter were enjoying conversations about the workings of the human body and how best to provide care to patients.
It stirred up so many memories for Rina that, six months into her daughter’s studies, she enrolled in a nursing program too.
