Our amazing Nurse Manager has been with Lucas Love at this point nearly 10 years and is well known and respected within our Agency so we have asked her a few questions to get to know her a little bit more.
What do you love most about your job?
No two days are the same. As a nurse, it is very different to my previous roles where I was involved in direct resident care but I enjoy the new experiences and challenges that each day brings. I also really enjoy getting to know our members and learning about their experiences.
What inspired you to become a nurse?
As a child I always wanted to be a nurse when I was older. As a teenager I did voluntary work with people with learning disabilities and so when I decided to apply for nursing, I applied for the Learning Disability branch.
Top tip on how to handle stress or pressure in work?
I think it’s important to be able to step back from work and the related pressures outside of your working hours. If you are constantly thinking about work then it is difficult to de-stress. Some of the things I enjoy doing to de-stress are reading, watching movies or streaming series and walking on the beach (preferably in Donegal!)
Tell us something our members might not know about you.
It might surprise people to know that I love rock and heavy metal music. We go to a lot of gigs and concerts through the year and it’s something we enjoy doing as a family.
