Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate Registered Nurse (RN) with progressive career history in peri-Operative Nursing.

I have proven to remain calm under pressure and skillfully handle difficult patients and high-stress situations. Especially on night as we are an emergency team who deal with high risk and complicated cases.

I maintain a good relationship with patients and families through empathetic communication, respectful attitude and excellent customer service.

I have a good rapport with my colleagues and have excellent communication skills

Currently I have been working permanent nights for over 13 years at KEMH.

Prior to working nights, whilst working on days, my speciality was Gynae-oncology working with Dr Tony McCartney, until he retired and then made the decision to do permanent nights.

Apart form my duties of Scrub/ Scout and Recovery, I am also a theatre floor Coordinator, My role is to coordinate the theatre floor after hours. Booking emergence cases and supervising nursing staff and communicating with medical teams regarding emergency cases.
