Meet Ranjana, a Registered Nurse (RN) at Aeralife Northpoint, who has loved the path her career has taken so far in healthcare and aged care. It’s been one of dedication, learning, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
Building a career foundation
Ranjana laid the foundations for a career in healthcare as a registered nurse by studying for a Diploma of Nursing. During this time, she also worked as a Personal Care Assistant and PCA (medication endorsed), gaining invaluable hands-on experience and insights on aged care.
After completing her Diploma in 2020, she recognised the importance of leadership and management skills in healthcare, completing an Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management. In 2021, she started her Bachelor of Nursing, which proved challenging but rewarding, and she was pleased to graduate in 2022.

“Becoming a registered nurse is a fulfilling job,” Ranjana says. “You can make a real difference in people’s lives, every day.”
“A kind, caring disposition is required to fit in,” she adds. She adds that continuous learning and never stopping caring about the people you help are key success factors.
“I’ve always loved spending time with older people, especially after my grandmother passed away when I was young.” It was a decisive moment for Ranjana, and why she decided to become a registered nurse – to care for those who need it most through connection and kindness. “Being a kind-hearted and caring individual is why I love my job and enjoy working closely with residents.”
