Strauss said she finished her last call in casualties on April 2 and started on a new rotation. She further expressed her gratitude at working with the nurses posing with her in the photograph which she posted on her Facebook page.

But despite her enjoyment at her medical learning and other experiences, Strauss captured her joy of coming home to her little boy, who she called her “new favourite person”.

At the end of last month, Strauss was looking glamorous at Sun City as the Miss South Africa finalists battled out the competition and the new Miss South Africa, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, was crowned.
