EUGENIA NECULA

West Lothian

Summary

The one thing I have always known I would like to do with my life is to help people. Personal and professional development have played a decisive role in my life throughout the years. My analytical and critical mind, curiosity, desire to learn, and detail-oriented orientation guided me throughout the years towards the healthcare field.

Through the HNC Social Services course, I gained substantial general knowledge, which has helped me apply it to my work.

I am pursuing a third-year Adult Nursing degree at Edinburgh Napier University, with an anticipated completion in 2025.

I am a committed Healthcare Assistant focused on enhancing the daily lives of patients through compassionate care. I have experience in hospital and in-home settings, providing guidance and encouragement to patients through physical and emotional support. I am always ready to help with hygiene, mobility, and cleaning needs. I work fast to stay ahead of the continuous patient workload.
