A compassionate Registered Nurse (RN) with a progressive career history over the past 7 years. I have experience in direct patient care, triage and care coordination in a fast-paced environment. Proven to remain calm under pressure and skillfully handle difficult patients and high-stress situations. I want to further my career and knowledge outside of the traditional nursing setting, particularly utilising new knowledge developed in post graduate studies in Public Health.
