Summary
Throughout my nursing career, I have gained many years of clinical experience within the acute setting. Since 2019 I have worked as a casual Academic over a variety of courses including tutorial and simulation laboratories and as a clinical Facilitator. During this time I have developed my teaching skills and after completing The Foundations of University tEACHING I gained some understanding of curriculum development. I would like to continue in the education sector and further develop this skill whilst also developing my skills in research after completing my Masters……..
