Summary

My 11 years has been spent in residential care, community care, mental health nursing and youth support.

while employed in residential care i specialised in dementia care and high dependency, i am task orientated and my time management skills are unmatched, my two team mates and i where able to run a 30 bed unit, all with in the allocated time most of the time finishing early and being able to catch up on paperwork and restock and clean the nurses station.


My time while working as a mental health care worker really opened my eyes to a whole new side of nursing, it showed me what dealing with individuals from a variety of back grounds and experiences is like while also teaching a whole new skill set in order to provide the best care to the individual at that time.
