Pauline successfully completed her nursing training at the prestigious Alfred Hospital in 1988 and worked in the Accident and Emergency Department for the following 3 years. She then completed a peri-operative course at the Alfred and gained experience and expertise in all areas of surgery including heart transplant. After a short stint of practice in a regional area, she married and raised a family going on to work in a diverse range of industries from real estate sales to catering and cooking as well as studying fine arts and fashion design.
Realising that theatre nursing is her true vocation, she re-undertook nursing studies, re-registered and returned to practice and aesthetic surgery.
