In this inspiring episode of Your Nurse Voice Matters, host Wendy Trevarthen speaks with Dr. Sue Gledhill, registered nurse, midwife, academic, researcher, community volunteer, and lifelong learner. Sue shares her extraordinary journey, beginning with a turbulent childhood and no high-school education, through to becoming a respected clinician, manager, researcher, and educator.
Sue reflects on her unconventional entry into nursing, her deep connection with Prince Charles Hospital, Brisbane and how her early work in respiratory care led to groundbreaking conversations around sexuality and ageing—eventually forming the basis of her PhD research. Her story is a powerful reminder that dedication, curiosity, and vision can overcome even the greatest barriers.
As the conversation unfolds, Sue offers heartfelt encouragement to early-career nurses, emphasising the importance of staying curious, seeking mentors, and holding onto the images of the future you want to create. She also shares how volunteering, community radio, and continuous study have shaped a meaningful, balanced professional life.
Sue closes with a piece of wisdom drawn directly from her life experience—something she says made everything possible—and listeners will feel the impact of that insight long after the episode ends.
Three Key Points:
- Lifelong learning opens unexpected doors—no matter where you begin.
- Mentorship and community can change the course of a career.
- Vision and purpose create momentum when the path ahead isn’t yet visible.
