The interview of Ms. Suwanna Kullaboot

Ms. Suwanna Kullaboot is a nursing instructor at Borromarajchonni Nursing college Nonthaburi campus. What she likes best about her job is teaching activities such as teaching students both in classrooms and patient’s wards, but she does not like paper works such as teaching quality control works. She is a specialist in the field of neurology in surgery wards, but for now she is interested in tuberculosis that she will continue her master degree project about it.

In her view, a good nurse is a smart person who has the mankind and humanity on patients. In the next ten years she will work in the same job. She does not have any plan to change her career.

Ms. Suwanna Kullaboot has no experience of study aboard, but at the present she got a government scholarship to study for a master degree and PhD overseas. She intends to study in the United States of America next year. She worries about her English ability because she feels her English is not good enough to study aboard therefore all of skills need to be improved. There is evidence from the test result of The IELTS on a 5.5 band that she had in 2017. So, that is why English is crucial in her future plans. Twelve weeks are the valuable time to study at an intensive English course (the IELTS preparation) in New Zealand. The improvement of her IELTS performance should be shown in the period of time. She made her mind to study harder than she never tried before.

Ms. Suwanna said that she would like to see some changes  of health care in Thailand especially Thais should have the basic knowledge about self-care, and they should be able to the first care of themselves rather than relying on the health care services. For example, people should know how to care about a common cold at home, but in the case of emergency either bleeding or heart attack they should immediately go to the hospital.
