Fahmida Tabassum

Highly motivated and patient-focused, I am an experienced undergraduate student nurse (USIN) with Queensland Health, dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care. My expertise encompasses the entire nursing care continuum, including proactively identifying patient needs and implementing effective changes based on keen observation. I excel in fast-paced environments, demonstrating exceptional time management and utilising multimedia tools to enhance learning. My experience at Arcare Aged Care further refined my skills in delivering high-quality care while maintaining ethical awareness and utilising strong research analysis skills. I am a recognised team player, effective communicator, and collaborator within interdisciplinary teams.

During my two-year tenure as a USIN at Gold Coast University Hospital(GCUH) and Robina Hospital, I gained extensive experience across a diverse range of wards, including neurological, cardiac, respiratory, general medical, medical decision unit, emergency department, immunology, complex clinical care, elderly care, orthopaedic, and mental health units. This broad exposure provided a comprehensive understanding of patient care across various specialities.

My experience working with older adult patients (5+ years) and post-operative patients (precisely those undergoing neck of femur surgery) has honed my ability to anticipate and manage potential complications. I am adept at identifying and mitigating risks associated with post-operative pain management, pressure injury prevention, and overall physical decline in elderly patients. My proactive approach includes implementing preventative measures such as regular repositioning, meticulous pressure area care, frequent pain assessments, proactive pressure injury assessment, application of barrier creams, appropriate stocking application (following consultation with the treatment team), ensuring adequate fluid intake, encouraging food intake, and vigilant monitoring of PIVCs for signs of phlebitis.

I am confident that my two years of experience as a USIN and my five years of experience in aged care have fully prepared me for the role of Registered Nurse. My skills encompass a holistic approach to patient care, combining experience, foresight, clinical intuition, and a strong foundation of nursing knowledge. I am also fully aware of and consistently adhere to my scope of practice, the code of ethics, the seven nursing standards, and all relevant hospital policies. This includes reviewing and following established intervention procedures such as IV infusions and catheter insertions.
