00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,480
I decided to come work in the UK
because of the career progression
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:16,200
being offered to us nurses,
and I chose CUH specifically
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,200
because it's one of the largest
teaching hospitals here in the UK.
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,880
I started back in the Philippines,
qualified back in 2010.
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,600
I have experience in the medical
surgical wards and also ICU experience
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,640
and from then on, I explored my career
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,960
as a home care nurse in the UAE, and I'm here
now in the UK as one of the dementia ward nurses.
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,240
There are a lot of career opportunities
available here compared to back home.
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,280
We have a lot of training
and courses that you can take
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,080
and the hospital is very encouraging
and supportive with that.
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:01,960
The very thing that I like most about CUH is
that the staff are really friendly, accommodating
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:09,240
and supportive, and Cambridge itself is a and nice,
friendly, peaceful environment to live in.
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:14,200
If they're thinking about coming
to CUH, I would really encourage you,
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:20,840
the benefits outweighs the risk and I have
been really supported by my colleagues
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,800
and it has been one of the best decisions that
I have made for my career and for my family.
