Summary

A caring, compassionate and dedicated individual with a passion to deliver safe, effective and family centred care in a fast paced busy acute receiving unit with a high turn-over of patients. I always adhere to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) code of conduct as well as local policies and guidelines. I work well within a team and utilise my adaptable skills in order to provide the best possible care to all patients. These include problem solving, time management and medicine management. I enjoy learning new skills as my role has evolved throughout my career, enabling me to adapt to new environments. I always strive to be a role model to junior colleagues and students showing how rewarding a career in nursing can be. As my role as a nurse has evolved throughout my career, it has enabled me to adapt and overcome challenging situations within the ward. I am confident in my decisions when it comes to my role as Team Leader, delegating tasks within the multidisciplinary team ensuring patient safety is achieved. I state myself as hard working and an enthusiastic nurse driven on my intrinsic passion to provide a high standard of family centred care to children, young people and their families.
