Jessie Morrell Registered Nurse

Coolum Beach,QLD

Summary

I am a well-mannered, compassionate and conscientious individual. I am a reliable, hard working and honest person who is able to work well in both team situations and independently. My written and verbal communication skills are excellent. I remain calm under pressure and always prioritize tasks. Over the past ten years I have had the opportunity to work within rural and tertiary level hospitals and primary health, providing me with experience, knowledge and skills to be a compassionate, competent and motivated health professional. I have experience working with indigenous culture in New Zealand, working autonomously in a rural area. I am an approachable, open, enthusiastic individual. I bring about a great sense of humor to the working environment, positive attitude towards life, and believe strongly in integrity and strive for personal and professional satisfaction and success.
