My Job
Hi, I have been a nurse since 2008. I love working with children and babies. Currently, I work at a in neonatal intensive care with premature babies. It´s a hard work, but it's very satisfactory satisfying.


Well done!


You can either say "I work in neonatal intensive care" or "I work in a neonatal intensive care unit/department". The first example is giving a general sense of the area or industry you work in (eg, "I work in finance") while the second is more specific (eg, "I work in a bank").

 

If you say "It's hard work", there's no need for "a". You could also say "It's a hard job", in which case you would need an "a". "Hard work" is more general - you could say "Being old is hard work" but not "being old is a hard job", because it's not actually a job, ie, an occupation.

 

"Satisfactory" often means "just good enough" - as in, "The meal was just satisfactory - it wasn't excellent". I think you mean "satisfying" which means it satisfies/fulfils you.

My occupation / career

Hi everyone, I am currently working as a Neonatal Nurse in the intensive care unit for premature babies. While it is hard work it is equally if not more satisfying. Thus I have been doing this type of work since 2008.

 

 

Well done Patricia that was a great effort. I hope the corrections help. Keep up the good work.

Warmest Regards

Charlie
