Sports and medicine hospital.

To support the opening of the hospital, I drafted policy procedures and assisted with hiring in human resources department. Part of my work with the hospital was to support the Asian Olympic Games in December 2006.

During this period, I built up my experience as a nurse in the medical field (audiometer and spirometer), and also in the administration and organization field, assisting the administration and secretarial staff with admission and discharge cases.

In February 2002, I received my registration as a nurse in the United Arab Emirates.

Administrative duties in support of private medical practice.

My responsibilities with this Romanian-British advertising company were as follows:

• contacts with other companies for contracts
• public relations
• business correspondence
• traveling on business to the United Arab Emirates (several times) and to other countries.

The skills that were required for this job included:

• great adaptability to various working conditions
• excellent public relation skills

My experience included work in the departments of Internal Diseases, Surgical Section and Intensive Care.

The experience gained in this position allowed me to put into practice my studies at the Medical High School and further to develop:

• my ability to focus on particular problems.
• my conscientious approach to the patients
• my physical ability to handle the demanding working hours and conditions.

I was selected by examination to join the Romanian military contingent attached to the UN Peacekeeping Force in Angola. The contingent set up and administered the first United Nations hospital in the region. This hospital was responsible for the medical care of the joint international UN forces active in the area.

I was a sergeant nurse in the hospital, undertaking duties in the Internal Diseases department and in Emergency Services

My duties in this post included:

• emergency room treatments
• attendance at scenes of accidents (away from the hospital)
• care of patients and casualties whilst in transit
• routine inoculation and treatment of tropical diseases

In this post I gained the abilities:

• to communicate in medical terms with patients from different ethnic backgrounds
• to adapt quickly to different working conditions e.g. the tropical climate and associated diseases
