Summary
For 32 years, I have worked in different fields of nursing and gained various experiences. Being a nurse, I am proud to say I have become more mature, caring and compassionate not only in my working environment but as a person. I have learnt to develop my confidence in communicating with other people especially to my clients, colleagues, multi-disciplinary team and the management. I am flexible, can work under pressure and can easily adapt to fast changing nursing innovations. I believe that through continuing education, learning various concepts of nursing, leadership skills and management are a part of increasing and broadening my horizon as a nurse. As a Clinical Nurse Educator, my passion in teaching motivates me to work harder and develop further my career thru professional development. But above all, enhancing my knowledge, skills, proper attitude, dedication and vocation in nursing will deepen the true meaning of me being a nurse.
