Here’s what people are saying about the instructor
See For Yourself ..…
Moving abroad for work is tasking, but a bulk of the hard work is in trying to research and learn more about the new place and country you are about to move to. Cate was that one person who made my journey to the UK a little less daunting. She has gone above and beyond to make the process seamless for nurses like me by ensuring we all have the right information.
The 'nurse with a pen' as I like to think of her has not only been key to making me actualize my dream at a time when it seemed hard and impossible but she has been instrumental to my transition and integration to the UK as a nurse.
Her passion for her fellow nurses is seen in her wish to see all nurses flourish into the great people they have envisioned for themselves.
When I first came to the UK I struggled with settling in and she reminded me who I was. I went through a rough patch and she never let me lose myself and for that I am forever grateful and would say keep up the good work it has never gone unnoticed so thank you.
Moreover, Cate delivers information in a fun way both on writing and on YouTube. She is a delight to interact with on socials and blog. Keep being amazing and touching lives. You did touch mine for sure

Meet Catherine Maina
( Cate Mimi)
Howdy and welcome to my blog!!
I am Catherine Maina. Call me Cate Mimi. Cate Mimi is my pen name. I currently work as a renal nurse somewhere in the United Kingdom. I have been a registered nurse for almost a decade now and this has helped me develop a passion for teaching people about various diseases, conditions, and healthy lifestyles. It has also given me an opinion about healthcare in general and nursing to be specific. Can't wait to share that opinion with you.
There are many aspects to being a nurse, especially a kidney nurse. One of my favorites is teaching people what the disease is, its causes, and its management. If we can prevent and adequately manage diseases and injuries, then we have helped save our already shaky global public healthcare systems.
I enjoy sharing stories about my job. All names of my colleagues and patients are anonymized in a creative non-fiction style. When I am not reading or writing, I am creating videos on Youtube and Tiktok.
Life has been interesting so far and this will appear in some of my personal blogging articles. Welcome to my slice of the internet pie!
