Nicky shares her journey from starting as a nursing home carer to becoming a healthcare staff member, and her experiences caring for older people.
Currently working as Spectrum’s Clinical Coder and Quality & Outcomes Framework Lead at HMP Preston, Nicky started her health care career as a nursing home carer , aged 18. Following her degree, she then worked for a nursing agency, where she began collating her stories after one horrible night shift.
‘I’m Just An HCA’ has been described as showing ‘what it’s really like to care day after day (or night after night) for older people who may have lost the use of their faculties, and who may treat you as their best friend or their greatest threat, and how you can make lifelong friends – as well as a few enemies – along the way.’ “My path into healthcare began aged sixteen when I was sent from school for work experience, at Charnley Fold - it was a nursing home back then,” says Nicky. “I was only young but I loved helping, caring and assisting with the old folks; I loved their life stories even more. “This then inspired me to focus on becoming a healthcare staff member,” she add
