Fish’s ‘real life’ in Australia a nursing success story
After finishing high school, Fissaha (Fish) Gobena was asked to nominate what he would like to do as a career – his top choice was to become a pilot and second preference was to become a mechanic. In what turned out to be a lucky break for him and his patients at Monash Medical Centre intensive care unit, the government in his Ethiopian homeland had other ideas; they enrolled him in a nursing course.
