Summary
My mission in life is not just to live but to utilize all my skills, to be able to help anyone in the best of my abilities. I am a driven comprehensively trained registered nurse with multiple years of experience.
I pursued nursing as I strongly believe nursing is the way I can help and support people in a wide variety of settings.
Nursing is a challenging and rewarding career, and with my effective communication skills, I am able to maximise the resources I have in order to improve and provide quality care.
My time and experience in Acute Mental Health, has helped me thrive in being able to manage stressful and fast paced conditions. Learning how to effectively manage my time, keep calm under challenging circumstances and be able to manage and co-ordinate my workload.
I had learnt in order to resolve issues I had to take initiative to resolve difficult situations.
