Hey boys and girls. I am Kerry, a (very caring and good-hearted) nurse. I live in Christchurch, New Zealand – the place to be if you are a younger person. Trust me – have a lot of experience in the city’s nightlife. We used to paint the town red regularly before I entered nursing. It used to be a ton of harmless fun and enjoyment. Memories, a lot of good ones.

OK, now these days are gone. I am a lot more concentrated on my further studies, as being just a nurse for the whole duration of my life seems a bit boring. I want to study medicine a lot more in-depth and get a doctorate degree. I want to become an osteopathic surgeon. I love that part of medicine, and I will throw everything I have (plus the kitchen sink), so I can get to where I want to be.

My first step to achieving my dream is to become the best nurse that has ever come out of New Zealand. I want to go to the UK and prove my worth over there in these massive NHS hospitals.

I have been in contact with the right people from a UK recruitment agency that specialises in getting job placements for travel nurses like me. I thought I’d get someone with good knowledge of the healthcare job market in the UK, as I am a complete novice as to how things work over there.

Ha, look at this. Actually UK nurses are relocating to New Zealand (the opposite of what I am trying to do, lol).

So far, so good. I am flying out very soon. I will try to keep regular updates here but don’t get mad if I don’t. Life is happening all around me, and the last thing I want is to miss the beauty of it.
