As an Enrolled Nurse at Mater Private Hospital, I delivered high-quality, patient-centred care across diverse medical and surgical settings.
My role involved performing accurate documentation of patient assessments, interventions, and outcomes in compliance with regulatory standards.
I consistently adhered to strict safety protocols while administering medications, including oral, intravenous, subcutaneous and intramuscular routes, and closely monitored patient responses to ensure optimal outcomes.
I provided routine wound care and dressing changes, managed post-operative recovery, and collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to develop and implement effective treatment plans.
My commitment to fostering a safe and comfortable healing environment included addressing patient concerns promptly and providing emotional support to both patients and their families during critical moments.
During my tenure, I enhanced patient satisfaction ratings through compassionate, personalised care and streamlined communication between patients, families, and healthcare providers.
My time at Mater Private Hospital has honed my skills in clinical excellence, teamwork, and patient advocacy, leaving me well-prepared to bring this expertise to new healthcare settings.
