NURSE GALINA’S CAREGIVING OF NEW JERSEY
Welcome to my online community. My name is Galina. I am a nurse and care navigator.
I am looking forward to meeting you really sooon.
I like to share with you all the great things that my caregivers and I do to help and support caregiving families but first a little bit about me and how this service came about.
My first love was social work. I worked as a social worker for eight years and I saw first hand the challenges of finding reliable, trustworthy, affordable and life enhancing home care so I became a nurse to better understand and help more people.
I became a registered nurse and worked in an acute care setting in the hospital, and worked as a home care nurse. My passion for teaching families intensified and I so got a master’s degree in nursing education.
