Summary
Describing myself as enthusiastic, dependable, with good communication skills, willing to listen, learn and grow personally and professionally.
Working the last 2 years as an Enrolled Nurse at Cabrini Hospital mostly in the surgical/neurological wards but also being flexible to float to other wards when required.
Taking advantage of preceptor and educational roles guiding graduate nurses and placement students which I enjoy and find very rewarding.
I love working as a nurse but would like to finish the Bachelor of Nursing (RN) exceptionally not just passing and graduating.
Nursing is my passion which includes the good and bad days and everything in between. I love the interaction with peers and patients. I am dedicated and compassionate and consistently developing skills as an Enrolled Nurse.
I have recently taken a position with Alliance Nursing as bank staff to experience different areas of nursing and allowing flexibility.
