Summary

Dedicated and Compassionate Registered nurse with a progressive career history working in geriatric care to start and moving on to my role as an acute stroke nurse in Christchurch, New Zealand which revealed my passion for an acute environment. I prioritize a holistic approach to the care I provide to patients to allow positive health outcomes. I have a calm approach when i am put under pressure and have experience in dealing with difficult patients in high stress environments. I have confidence to advocate for my patients with strong communication skills with colleagues. My goals and aspirations in my career are to travel Australia to gain insight about the different healthcare systems and aboriginal culture and progress my clinical skills in an acute setting.
