I recently resigned from NHS in 2012 as a registered nurse and accepted an offer from SENESE Inclusive Education to work with children with special needs. This is with regard to my plan of developing and enhancing my skills as a registered nurse, taking advantage of the perspective of disabilities as other areas of health we also work with.
