- I am currently a student Nurse Practitioner in the specialty of Geriatrics and Palliative care and I am currently working as acting CN at Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service for Residential Aged Support Services (RASS) team. I have acted in senior leadership roles as a Clinical Nurse Consultant and Nurse Unit Manager over my career. In my current CN role as an advanced clinician, I perform a broad range of professional advanced practice nursing focused on providing compassionate, holistic evaluation and management of adult and geriatric patients, including the care of persons with complex medical and psychosocial needs in the ED and RACF Outreach settings. I possess advanced skills that includes acute ED procedural skills, advanced clinical assessments, and formulating a comprehensive clinical management plan utilizing evidence-based practice. I am an expert in team communication and leadership, staff mentoring and Physician collaboration. My substantive position is that I am a Clinical Nurse in Acute Care of Elderly Unit for about fourteen years. I maintain current contemporary nursing practice knowledge that supports my application for a Acting Clinical Nurse Consultant role in the RASS Team and I strongly believe that I can meet your service expectations due to the knowledge and experience that I have gained working in the Gerontology over the course of my nursing career and the relevant specialty focused Post Grad qualification.
