Marco Lombardi

“Being a nurse is more than just a job, it's a calling.”

Born and raised in Milan, Marco moved to Dublin after falling in love with the city on a backpacking trip. His love for people and desire to help others led him to a career in nursing. He's been working at St. James' Hospital for 5 years now and he's adored by patients and staff alike. His secret? He always has a joke or a story to share to lighten the mood. When he's not working, you can find him out exploring the city with his camera, capturing the beauty of his new home.

What made you want to become a nurse?

I've always been drawn to helping others and nursing allows me to do just that. It's incredibly rewarding to make even a small difference in someone's life.

What's your favorite spot in Dublin?

Oh, that's a tough one. I love Stephen's Green for a peaceful break from the hustle and bustle of the city, but I also love Temple Bar for a fun night out with friends.
