Svetlana Kostikova
Operating Room Nurse
Languages: Estonian, Russian, and English
Already during school, I knew that I wanted to work as an operating room nurse in the future. During my internship, I participated in a heart surgery, and that solidified my desire even more. After graduating from the Health College, I began working as an operating room nurse at the Surgery Center of Tallinn Regional Hospital, where I gained valuable experience in general surgery, urology, and gynecology operations. For the past two years, I have primarily worked in emergency surgeries. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and children – going for walks, sailing, and actively participating in my son’s sports activities.
