With over 5 years of related working experience in the Nursing and healthcare setting in Australia, New Zealand and The Philippines, working under different managers and co-workers, I can confidently say that my professional and personal attributes, have positively manifested in the way I interact with my superiors, my fellow workers and most importantly, the patients/clients that I serve. I have a high benchmark in the way I perform my duties and responsibilities and have always practiced integrity, respect, quality, responsibility and care in the performance of my job. At the end of the day, it gives me significant pride and fulfillment to see that I have earned my day’s worth, have put a smile in a person’s face or made an otherwise awful day much better, particularly to those under my responsibility and care.
