Danielle Donaghy is currently a second year student at
Glasgow Caledonian University studying Learning Disability Nursing. Danielle recently joined the SLDNN student
sub group alongside her classmate, and is looking forward to
being involved in this year’s annual conference in June.
Prior to starting the course, Danielle was a locality
support worker for five years, supporting individuals with disabilities within
the community, and still continues to support a young man through SDS
(Self-directed support). Danielle wanted
to continue to help individuals reach their full potential and therefore
applied to university to train within a nursing role instead. Danielle has previously completed an honours
degree in Business from Stirling University but soon realised that this wasn’t
for her and that working within the care sector was much more satisfying and
that she thrived in providing care and support to those who needed it.
Danielle continues to learn through her personal work
commitments as well as on placements and enjoys applying her new knowledge and
skills within various nursing environments.
Danielle hopes to progress onto the post graduate course next year in
Health Visiting and is very excited for her future career within nursing.
