Darlington,WA
Summary
I am a permanent Clinical Nurse on MAU after completing the graduate program in April 2013. The majority of time at SCGH has been on ward G72 (MAU) with some time setting up a new ward (C14) as A/CNS. These experiences have provided a fantastic foundation for my nursing career. I have been encouraged to apply for several senior nursing roles and have been successfully acted in these positions (CF, CN, CNS[G72], CNC[GenMed], CNS[C14]). I look forward to expanding my knowledge and understanding of patient care and the management of illnesses which I have been exposed to throughout my time as a nurse.
