Role: School Nurse at Taipei European School (Taiwan)
My role is to provide First Aid Care and Health Education for Secondary Students; Helping peoples’ lives become easier and better. I'm lucky to have a chance to be a school nurse at the Taipei European School to help students who come from different countries. For me, is not just a job, to a certain extent, it fulfils my eagerness to work in a global NGO. King's diverse learning environment gave me a chance to visit the Mary Sheridan Centre for Child Health. As a Taiwanese registered nurse, it was an unforgettable experience I learned a lot about how community service works in the UK. Although every service system has its pros and cons, this experience truly inspired me and made me think about what I can try in my position.
YingChun's top career tip:
Try everything you are interested. Learn from a person who can inspire you a lot. Set up a goal you would like to reach. Build perseverance and resilience.
