Accomplishments

I was promoted to CM position after working for Menarock as a RN for less than a month. The facility was preparing for accreditation during this time. As the clinical manager of the facility, I played a major role in accreditation and was able to successfully pass all standards with the help of my leadership qualities. The dedication and hard work of not only myself but also of my hardworking RNs at the facility resulted in this successful accomplishment. I was then offered to work at Camberwell Gardens to assist the company with another accreditation. I took some time after Camberwell Gardens to cover as RN In Charge at Chaffey Aged Care before starting as CCC at Kirralee.

I am currently working as casual NUM and RN with multiple agencies and looking for a permanent role where I can utilize my clinical knowledge in benefit of my clients and the company I work with.
