What do you enjoy the most about working with Carestaff?

The acceptance, when I first came into the office, I just felt so welcome by everyone and every time I speak to the girls on the phone everyone is so friendly and happy.

Tell me about a rewarding experience you’ve had whilst working with Carestaff?

Working at John Flynn on one of the wards and the end of the shift the nurse I was working with gave me a hug and thanked me for a great shift.  Left me with a great feeling at the end of a long shift.

What makes you passionate about nursing?

The caring, I can’t help but care. I have been nursing since 1982 and couldn’t see myself doing anything as rewarding as nursing

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

Giving up the security of a permanent job and taking on agency work, where work is not guaranteed so to get more of a lifestyle
