I am a Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist, currently working with older adults in Cork, Ireland. I have 17 years experience as a mental health nurse and have worked many inpatient and community settings. I achieved a Bachelor of Science Higher Degree in Psychiatric Nursing from Waterford Institute of Technology (now South Eastern Technological University).
