Hannah Fernando aka That Nurse Hannah: A life of nursing, humour and connection!

Hannah Fernando: 

Hannah Fernando is an exceptional lady who brings the sunshine! She is a wife and nurse, and is commonly known on social media as That Nurse Hannah! She is also the co-founder of Retro Gym Club- a fun, 80s-loving community that celebrates fitness in a fun way! 

We kōrero with Hannah about her Nursing journey and a special sign that turned Hannah’s one-day of studying Engineering into a pivot to Nursing! We talk through the highs, lows and lessons of her career so far and how she navigates it all through a lens of humour and connection! We also dive into, the importance of movement, community, a special book idea, seal laughs and more! 

We wouldn’t blame you if you had a Deja Vu moment, thinking we have already done a podcast with Hannah! Truthfully, Hannah and Bridget (who we have already done a podcast with) are twin sisters, and they both share the same warm bubbly energy, so we can’t wait to hear how you love this kōrero!

How to Reconnect & Create a Comeback-Friendly Workplace

Life doesn’t stop when we step away from work—whether it’s for parental leave, bereavement, extended holidays, or a well-earned break. 

But coming back? That’s a transition that can feel overwhelming—not just for the individual, but for the whole team.

Our panel kōrero is all about making workplace comebacks smoother, more supportive, and less daunting.
