Summary

After completing my new graduate year at Moree I have found a passion for rural and remote nursing. During my studies at UNE I had the opportunity to experience a range of healthcare professions in rural areas gaining a solid foundation to begin my journey as a nurse. I want to take my experiences in these rural and tight-nit communities and implement them in my future of nursing to be able to educate other nurses on the importance of healthcare workers in these communities. I have been able to establish a range of skills and knowledge that will enable me to adapt to other rural healthcare facilities to further enhance my career as a registered nurse.
