So you want to be a leader in Aged Care?
Let's talk about it.
Working in Aged Care is such a rewarding job in Nepal.
Looking after our elderly residents at home is natural as part of our culture.
So when I deliver the care to our elderly residents, I think about my grandparents at home as I deliver the care.
Working in Primary Health sector, it has given me so much opportunities to grow my career.
Each role has given me different skills, knowledge, expertise and also depends and enrich my experience to where I am today.
Our nurses work with multidisciplinary teams so that every discipline will provide the input in order to provide the quality of care.
