Thirty years...
that's how long it has been since I received my nursing PIN number - Sept 8th, 1996.
I spent another 15 years after that nursing in the Royal Navy, then after a brief stint with a domiciliary care company, I started my own business in aesthetics, which has now been running for over 12.5 years. I am very proud to be a Registered Nurse, and in more recent years also an Independent Prescriber, and with Level 7 qualification in Aesthetic Injectables.
I love my job, and I have always been careful to ensure that I am as current as I can be in my skills and knowledge.
Thirty years. It feels like yesterday - would I do it all again?! I think I would do some things differently, but I'm proud to call myself a Nurse, and a Veteran.
