Add to FavoritesAbout Karen
I always wanted to work in the caring profession when i was young and could never see myself doing anything else. I enjoy helping others and find this profession very rewarding. I have completed a Bacherlors degree in Learning disability nursing and a Bachelors degree in General nursing and have recently moved over from Ireland to pursue my career in nursing, i would love to gain some caregiver experience while i am planning to do my boards, During my time working within the nursing profession I have gained vast experience at home and abroad. I believe that having a back ground in learning disability and general nursing has equipped me with a great volume of practical experience, social skills, dealing with family members and proficiency in different competencies. These skills will be extremely valuable and be of great assistance in the role of a carer. I have the ability to work on my own initiative, to perform under the direction of others as well as work effectively and efficiently in demanding and pressurised environments. I enjoy a challenge in my work; I am highly motivated to succeed and am adaptable and flexible to new learning experiences I am a dedicated, reliable and diligent individual.
