Sr Sharon

I am a Registered Nurse. I did my General Nursing training at Germiston Hospital, Pretoria Technikon and Cape Technikon. I qualified in General nursing and midwifery (1975), NHD in Community Health (1997) and BTech Nursing (Palliative Nursing Care) (2004).

I retired in June 2018 and since then I have been doing palliative care in private patients homes.

In my free time, I like cycling, walking, gardening and reading. I love the outdoors and have completed 21 Argus cycling tours. I am not competitive but mainly enjoy the scenery when cycling.

I currently assist as a Home Nurse Assessor for CareChamp.
