Summary
Diploma of Nursing student seeking rewarding part time / casual employment. I am seeking an Enrolled Nursing role in the hospital environment facility to provide high-quality, patient-centred care. I have a strong background in customer service, team collaboration, and fast-paced environments. Since January of 2026, I’ve been an independant NDIS support worker working in the community. I’ve completed two placement as part of my diploma studies one of which was at Garrawarra Centre and the other was at Sutherland hospital in the CCU. I have enjoyed all three of these experiences and would like the opportunity to expand my skills into the hospital setting.
