Summary

I just freshly graduated as an EN (Enrolled nurse) as I am striving towards my Bachelor's of Nursing mid year to become a RN (Registered nurse). I have hands-on experience in clinical environments such as aged care, and sub/acute settings, which focuses on patient care and teamwork.

I am skilled in clinical assessments, medication administration, and care plans with a commitment to adhering to healthcare policies, and fostering effective communication within multidisciplinary teams and patients. I am eager to learn and develop my skills once I start working as a nurse. I am proactive and focused to deliver high-quality care, and reflect on my professional development to consistently grow in my career.
