​The essence of Nursing is caring. As nurses, we are in a privileged position to witness humanity across spectrums through nursing practice. As a professional, learning never ends. The schoolhouse provides us with the foundations to begin our calling, while lessons come alive every day at the workplace through our interactions with patients and members of the healthcare team. Through our work as nurses, we serve through care and have the opportunity to grow to be a better person. Nursing roles provide nurses with the propensity beyond "doing good" but to realize the extraordinary. With ceaseless demands for healthcare against a backdrop of evolving threats globally, my hope is for nurses to cherish how fleeting life is and develop as a resilient, unifying global community, true to our calling, withstanding time.

I aspire to see nurses develop the discipline and disposition to learn beyond Nursing. Apart from advancing in the breadth and depth of nursing practice, the dynamic landscape offers opportunities to develop new capabilities to enhance and optimize nursing roles for the future. Nurses are fittingly positioned to lead changes and forge partnerships through our roles in connecting people.  In recognizing the potential of our roles, I envision nurses to challenge paradigms daringly, to champion care redesign and advance conversations for policy changes, to enhance sustainable care while never losing sight of our role in advocating for the marginalized. To realise this vision, nurses must grow to be reflective leaders with a clear purpose and conviction of the value Nursing brings to humanity.  Above all, may each nurse develop a life of gratitude and fulfilment from the privilege we have through our profession.

At Alex Nursing, we value our nurses as unique individuals with much to offer to the people around them through their roles and practice. We are constantly at work to provide conditions to support nurses to make the best possible decisions for themselves in order to grow and progress with pride and purpose.  We believe that every Alex Nurse is a leader, including novice nurses who begin as leaders through leading themselves in everyday decisions they make in the course of delivering care.

To grow our nurses to be exemplary leaders to assume bigger roles and responsibilities, we nurture a practice environment where diversity is respected and valued as a strength. Through an enabling structure of empowerment, we draw on the collective commitment of Alex Nurses to grow in professionalism and fulfilment through leading to serve, serving to lead. Each generation of nurses relishes in the efforts made by the previous to learn and grow while they create a head-start for future generations.At Alex Nursing, we are committed to partner our nurses to realise their full potential such that "Every Alex Nurse, a potential Advanced Practice Nurse" is a principle we uphold to develop our nurses to the fullest extent of their potential as APNs or any other roles. Through these efforts, we are confident that Alex Nurses are well-placed to be future ready for the possibilities the future IGH will bring to Nursing, health and healthcare without losing the touch of good old Nursing.
