Outline of career

Carolyn registered as a General Nurse in 1991. Having previously worked as a qualified Nursery Nurse she decided to develop the interest in working with children further and spent the first two years working on a Children's Medical Ward.

In 1994 Carolyn moved to Birmigham Children's Hospital to further her career and qualified as a Registered Sick Children's Nurse (RSCN) in 1995, returning to a local District General Hospital. In the next few years she developed skills and knowledge within Children's Nursing, working in the surgical and medical wards and also having a six month secondment into Children's Community Nursing Team.

Carolyn first commenced Lecturing in 2001 and worked full time at Anglia Ruskin University for 2 years and then returned to the Clinical Setting in 2003. During this time she commenced a role as Clinical Facilitator in High Dependency care and combined this with Skills teaching at Anglia Ruskin.

In 2006 Carolyn re-commenced full time employment as a Senior Lecturer in Children's Nursing and is primarily involved in teaching within the Pre-registration Nursing Programme. Her area of interest remains in the development of clinical skills and enhancing the care of children through this method of teaching. She has recently completed her MA in teaching and learning.
