Nurses
Jane
Practice Nurse
Despite what my grandchildren think I did not train with Florence Nightingale, but it was a while ago in Torbay, my hometown. After many Jobs in various hospitals, I started working as a practice nurse in Falmouth, Cornwall. I moved to Gloucestershire in December 1998 and started working in Painswick in February 1999, I have been here ever since.
I love my job and can honestly say there is not any one aspect that I prefer more than others, but I do enjoy women’s health issues.
When I’m not at work I love to look after my grandchildren and recently discovered that I love cruises. So I’m happy continue working to fund this new found expensive hobby!
