“Nurses dispense comfort, compassion, and caring without even a prescription.”
I welcome you all to my e-portfolio! In this website, you will be able to gain an
understanding about me, my profession, and the upcoming plans that I have formulated for
my nursing profession. Wix website provided me the prospect to assess and evaluate my
educational qualifications so far, and also assisted me enormously in steering a self-
assessment, by reflecting on the experiences and encounters, I have had been a part of till this
day. This e-portfolio also assisted me identify my strengths and flaws, thus enabling me to
chalk out my short and long term objectives for future prospects.
About me
I took birth and was raised in the state of Kerala, located in the southern part of India.
It was during my stay in my native town on the Malabar Coast that I was able to get
acquainted with the concepts of belief, devoutness, and compassion. My regular visits to the

e-PORTFOLIO2
churches also made me gradually understand the importance of caring for people. This in turn
can be accredited to the fact that my state has been identified to contain the highest
proportion of Christian people, in comparison to other Indian states. Furthermore, I also lived
close to the Kottayam district that comprises of St Mary's Martha Mariyam Major Arch
Episcopal Pilgrim Centre, where Mother Mary is believed to have first appeared in this
world. Hence, my initial years were quite influenced by Christian thoughts and beliefs, the
uniqueness of which is in the emphasis that they place on caring for a complete individual,
while respecting all people as creations of God. During my school years, the teachings of my
religion that primarily focused on demonstrating compassion, trust and obligation not only
shaped my thoughts, but also played a significant role in helping me decide what I wanted to
be, on growing up.
I have always been intrigued by the process of caregiving, and also developed a liking
towards the nursing profession on closely observing a first cousin, who was practicing as a
licensed nurse at that time. I completed my secondary and higher secondary education from
my hometown, with high marks. In addition, I also chanced upon the occasion to volunteer
for numerous governmental and non-governmental organisations, with the vision for enabling
the sick and disabled to lead a meaningful and purposeful life. Following qualification of the
higher secondary examination, I got enrolled in a Diploma in General Nursing and Midwifery
course from the Bapuji School of Nursing, located in Davangere, in the state of Karnataka,
India.
Currently I am working as a Charge nurse at the Weather stones Nursing Home,
located in Neston, England. I plan to complete my present degree and work as a successful
registered nurse in Australia, in near future. During the course of these years that I have spent
in the nursing profession, I have had the chance to encounter immeasurable experiences that
comprised of death, birth, pain, delight, and recovery. Notwithstanding the challenges

e-PORTFOLIO3
encountered, on most occasions, I have been able to meet the expectations and demands of
my patients, which in turn convinced me of a correct profession selection.
