About Me

Well then, what do I write here then? I can start by saying that I work as a nurse at the intensive care unit at The hospital in Stavanger. And soon hope to get my masters as a intensive care nurse.

Music is one of my biggest passions and I play the guitar. I love to learn new instruments and I'm in the process of learning the harmonica and ukulele. The next big thing I really want to learn it to play the piano :)

Born I Norway but spent most of my childhood growing up in Brunei as a infant and then Holland til I was about 7 (sadly i don't speak dutch since went to an international/American school)

I like to think that I'm a optimist and generally have a positive attitude to life:) I'm easy going and I like to keep an open mind:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saved someones life when I was a nursing student. A girl that we suspected had had too much to drink (and some other substances as well I assume) had lost consciousness and stopped breathing to the point that she went into cardiac arrest. Long story short I had to perform CPR for what felt like ages before paramedics arrived.
At that point in my life I was having doubts about if nursing was the right choice for me or not. But after this incident I got back the motivation I needed to complete my studies and regained my passion for the health care proffesion :)

As a helthcare professional I can teach CPR and first aid.
