Summary

I am a conscientious qualified Endorsed Enrolled Nurse and Bachelor of Nursing student currently concluding my Bachelor of Nursing degree at Western Sydney University this semester.

As a compassionate and caring individual with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, I apply with interest and excitement to your role as a new graduate registered nurse.

I am currently employed as an Endorsed Enrolled Nurse at an occupational health practice as well as a general practice; where I provide person centred, evidence-based care to patients of all ages presenting with a variety of health concerns.

I have extensive experience including over a year’s experience as a practice nurse, 1200 hours of hospital and aged care placements, as well as over 2 years’ experience in disability support work. My experience enables me to deliver excellent person-centred care driven by compassion to my patients.

I am excited for a new challenge to apply and develop my skills and knowledge as a nurse. Thank you for your consideration in advance.
