Some Info about our Author
Janice, the fourth child in a family of seven, was born and raised in Brisbane, Queensland. At age 13 Janice’s passion for nursing was ignited through the personal experience of assisting with the nursing of her terminally ill mother until her passing two years later. This experience taught Janice, from this young age, the human side of caring for someone in their home along with the values of empathy and care.
Janice and her husband Bruce met in their teens, subsequently married and have two adult children, both following in their mothers’ footsteps in the field of health and education.
