Aisling Henderson

Registering with the NMBI in 2018, I have been working full time as a Registered General Nurse for 4 years. Thus progressing to an Enhanced Nurse role.

My current area of work is in an acute medical unit, focusing on respiratory care and care of the elderly. I work well in high pressure environment's, my cohort of patients being often critically unwell and requiring non invasive ventilatory support.

I am skilled in acute first aid, CPR, life support and trauma.

I love working as part of a team, and I believe an encouraging/supportive environment is essential in this line of work.

I am very passionate about preceptorship and the training of new employees.

Maintaining outstanding patient care through compassionate and attentive monitoring of physical and mental wellbeing is paramount in my care.

Since January 2023, I have worked full-time hours working as an agency nurse in Perth (RN 1.7). By working agency I have upskilled in specialities such as trauma, emergency department, oncology, plastics and orthopaedics. Everyday I work in a different ward or speciality, thus broadening my knowledge and confidence as a nurse.

I am flexible with my hours and work AM, PM and nightshifts.

I have worked in a total of 8 acute hospitals within Perth, primarily working in Royal Perth Hospital, which is the state major trauma centre.

I always aim to deliver consistently high standards of individualised nursing care, best maintaining patients' health and wellbeing. I work closely with fellow nurses, doctors and clinicians for consistent communication and continued best care practices. I work well under pressure and feel confident in emergency situations. In working as an agency nurse, I have greatly pushed myself out of my comfort zone and strengthened my career.
