“Organization and prioritisation are skills I learned through EFE- Palestine’s nursing program and are skills I will use throughout my career journey. As a nurse I feel my purpose is long term and I do not see myself ever leaving it”.
Raneen has always dreamed of becoming a midwife. She studied nursing because of her love for children and her passion of helping others. After graduated from university; Raneen had troubled finding a job that suited her major. However, this did not make her give up on her dream under any circumstances. Raneen had the opportunity to undergo on-the-job training for three months at a maternity hospital in Ramallah after completing the nursing program with Efe- Palestine. Despite the hospital’s distance from her home in Bethlehem, she considered this a challenge that would teach her how to rely on herself financially, and also to become stronger and take responsibility. “I enjoyed the training period very much because of the useful information it included. I loved how everything I learned theoretically at university I was able to practice it at the hospital,” she says. After completing the internship, the hospital offered her a full-time job opportunity. Raneen is currently working in the hospital and she is happy.
