Summary

I am a final year nursing student with sound communication skills aswell as developing critical thinking skills with a current passion to become a registered nurse in the areas of paediatrics or emergency care nursing. I work well being a part of a collaborative team and show great leadership skills towards my colleagues. I can work well within a group aswell as independently. I can demonstrate the ability to think critically and have good time management skills. I am currently employed as a Usin which has allowed me to engage and build strong professional relationships between myself and other employees of wide bay health and I would like to continue to build further relationships with a long-lasting career at wide bay health. After I become a registered nurse, I would also like to study to become a registered midwife.
