Summary
I am currently completing a perioperative graduate program at Logan Hospital. I am highly motivated and am actively seeking a role as a scrub scout nurse following the completion of my graduate program. My graduate program has allowed me to gain direct practical experience to support and develop my skills, knowledge and understanding with the perioperative experience. This graduate program has supported me in becoming a multiskilled nurse strengthening my understanding of best practice and patient centre care. I have enjoyed being part of a multidisplenary team and working with patients to support their return to health.
