Summary

I’m a third-year Bachelor of Nursing student in NSW and have been working as a support worker with Lumica Care since March 2024, providing in-home care to elderly clients. This role has allowed me to develop strong skills in communication, manual handling, and person-centred care. Through my university placements across medical, surgical, theatre, stroke, and neuro-trauma wards, I’ve gained clinical experience in medication administration under supervision, wound care, neuro observations, post-operative care, and supporting patients with complex mobility needs. I’m confident in documenting accurately, using infection control procedures, and working effectively within multidisciplinary teams to ensure safe, holistic care. My combined practical and academic background has prepared me to transition smoothly into a graduate nursing role.
