Summary

Newly graduate Registered nurse, with surplus of caregiving experience in the community and nursing home. Proven ability to build a strong patient rapport to provide exceptional care, I find myself to be a fast and enthusiastic leaner and am always willing to further my skills and knowledge. I am now wanting to move from the caregiving role and into a Registered nurse role and advance my career and profession to help define the skills developed from completing my study at The University of Southern Queensland. Registered with APHRA and QNMU.
