“It is not how much we do – it is how much love we put into the doing.”
Welcome to my e-portfolio! In this platform you will obtain an insight about myself
and the future plans that I have for my nursing career. This platform provided me with the
opportunity to evaluate and assess my academic credentials so far, and also provided me
assistance in conducting a self-assessment by reflecting on my journey as a nursing student.

2e-PORTFOLIO
The e-portfolio also helped me recognise my strengths and weaknesses, thus facilitating the
determination of short and long term goals for future nursing practice.
About me
I was born and raised in the census town of Koratty, which is located in the Thrissur
district of Kerala state, in India. It was here that I gained a sound understanding about
conviction, devotion, and empathy. This can be accredited to the fact that my hometown is
considered as a crucial centre of the Marian Pilgrimage. All through my growing years, the
aforementioned traits of compassion, faith and commitment not only created a strong
influence on my childhood, nonetheless also played an important role in leading me to the
place I am currently. Ever since my school days I developed a keen interest for the living
world, and gradually became fascinated by the profession of nursing, during my high school
days. My interest grew with each passing year, and after countless volunteer hours, I
eventually decided that I was meant to work as a nurse. I completed my higher secondary
education from the Little Flower Convent Girls High School, Koratty, with credit marks.
Several volunteering opportunities provided me the opportunity to realise and understand the
role of a nurse and their influence in providing care services for the weak and the disabled.
Following my higher secondary examination, I pursued a pre-degree curriculum from the
Calicut University, located in Kerala. Soon after, I pursued my graduation degree in
Commerce, and completed two years of it, following which, I took a time off for three years,
and then opted for my Nursing course. This nursing curriculum helped me adopt the qualities
of compassion, empathy and respect, all of which are expected from a nursing professional,
and also increased my love towards my profession.
I successfully completed the three-year Diploma course in General Nursing and
Midwifery, following which I acquired nursing registration from the Maharashtra Nursing
Council, Mumbai, located in the state of Maharashtra. I also worked as a nursing intern for a

year at the Lokmanya Hospital, Chinchwad, in Pune. At the time of pursuing my internship, I
successfully completed the final year of my graduation in commerce, through distance
education from the Calicut University, Kerala. Later on, I worked in the form of a registered
staff nurse for an estimated 1 year and 4 months at the Aditya Birla Memorial Hospital in
Chinchwad, Pune, and also went to Italy as a registered nurse, where I worked for a
substantial duration of 6 ½ years.
Currently, I am pursuing a graduate diploma course in nursing from the Institute of
Health and Management, located in Sydney, Australia and intend to complete my course
within July, this year. Throughout the years that I have spent as a nursing student, I have had
the occasion to come across infinite experiences that involved sorrow, birth, pain, healing,
delight, and death, and the aforementioned instances reinstated my belief in the fact that I had
been able to select a proper career path.
