Summary

A passionate nurse with a priority for safe, timely, effective and patient-centred care; I see the Graduate Certificate in Critical Care — Emergency program as an opportunity for applying and advancing my theoretical knowledge.


My recency to practice is advantageous in my receptiveness to feedback, and willingness to learn. I have an honest and accountable work ethic. I take pride in my ability to effectively communicate and to work collaboratively with the multidisciplinary team. I believe as an applicant I am competent and deserving of this position, and will represent the Royal Melbourne Hospital professionally and diligently. I look forward to advancing the clinical competency of the Emergency Department staff.


I believe that a healthy work-life balance is the key to bringing energy and proficiency to my work and studies. I believe the Graduate Certificate will challenge and promote my development in this beautiful profession.
