Lauren Healing

I am a competent and dedicated team member that is experienced in providing timely and quality care in a safe and compassionate manner. As an experienced Advanced Care Paramedic with the Queensland Ambulance Service, I provide rapid response, emergency medical assessment, advanced treatment and care for patients with diverse and critical healthcare needs. Currently completing a Bachelor of Nursing, within my clinical placements I have demonstrated the ability to assess, plan, deliver and evaluate care across perioperative, palliative, rehabilitation, stroke and mental health wards. Experienced in working collaboratively with multi-disciplinary teams, I ensure that facility standards, safety and quality are maintained through adherence to work practices. Demonstrating well-developed problem-solving, communication and time management skills, I build therapeutic relationships whilst working within my scope. I am seeking to secure an opportunity as a graduate Registered Nurse that will enable me to deliver evidence-based, patient-centred care in a facility that encourages professional learning.
