Professional Experience/Background
Ι worked as a Registered Nurse (RN) in Surgery at the Central Clinic of Athens from 05/10/2000 to 02/02/2001, in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the General Clinic of Athens from 14/03/2001 to 24/07/2001, in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the Henri Dunant Hospital from 25/07/2001 to 03/11/2003, in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Attikon Hospital from 04/11/2003 to 26/01/2004. I have been working as a School Nurse at Special Education and Training from 26/01/2004 until today (Karditsa’s Special Primary School). I also had the position of school principal at 2013-14, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19.
I was a coordinator of several health education programs in schools. I also participated in several conferences and workshops, as well as a speaker in several educational programs for teachers and students, especially about school safety and hygiene and other health issues (about 45 lectures/presentations). My writing concerns the publication of articles in scientific journals and the creation of educational material on school safety and hygiene, approved in 2016 by the Institute of Educational Policy (ΙEP) and by the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs for its pedagogical appropriateness. In September 2016, 2017 and 2018, I sent the educational material electronically to all Greek schools, to be implemented (optional) by teachers and pupils as a health education program, an experiential activity or a project. I have also the role of the evaluator and writer in the journal "Nursing and Research", published by the Society of Nursing Studies. I am also an educator at the Institute of Educational Policy (IEP) and the Scientific Association for the Promotion of Educational Innovation (EEPEK). In 2018, as an educator at the EEPEK and the IEP, I successfully developed and implemented two online training programmes via an asynchronous and a synchronous tele-education method, respectively, to teachers through the Moodle online platform. In 2016 and 2018, I attended a full First Aid training program and received certification from Rescue Training International (RTI). I successfully attended a mixed (traditional and asynchronous online) learning program, titled “Exercise For Health: Group and Personal Training” (80 hours), implemented by the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Science at the University of Thessaly (from October 2018 to January 2019).
