Isabella Cosgrove

I am an enrolled nursing student, that is nearing the middle point of my pathway. From the learning I have done so far, I have a fundamental knowledge on medical terminology, healthcare policies and patient centered care.

I am committed to my studies and have proved competency in my training and placement environments. I have the ability to apply theoretical knowledge into a practical setting, that has gained positive feedback from qualified nurses and teaching staff, but most importantly, from the patients.
