He graduated from Southampton University in 1970 with a BSc in physiology and biochemistry, then somewhat to his own surprise started working as a nursing assistant at the local county psychiatric hospital, kicking off a career that would last for the rest of his working life.
In the United Kingdom, he graduated as a Registered Mental Nurse from the Knowle Hospital School of Nursing, and as a State Registered Nurse from the Nightingale Training School for Nurses at St Thomas’s Hospital. In the United States, he received his Master’s degree in adult psychiatric nursing from Boston University in 1978 and became qualified as a Psychiatric Clinical Nurse Specialist in1985.
His career was divided between working as a line staff nurse and serving in middle and executive management positions, at a number of psychiatric hospitals. He has taught as an adjunct faculty member at two American university schools of nursing and has had a number of articles and letters published in professional nursing and psychiatric journals.
Since retiring, Mr. King’s interests have included staring at the birds in his backyard with a bottle of beer in hand, and collecting American Indian artifacts.
He and his wife, Karen, live in Ohio, as does their daughter, Hilary.lihat lebih sedikit
