A Second Calling in Nursing

From Housewife to Nursing

It was not until a minor accident that landed Julie Yeo in hospital where she first realized the importance of nursing. This set her thinking about how nurses play a vital role in ensuring that patients receive the best care, and she began to consider going back to the workforce and to look at nursing as a second career.

When she later chanced upon an ITE advertisement for nursing students, she decided to enroll on the encouragement of her husband. Julie was then 38 years of age and had been a homemaker for over ten years.
