Lilly Chimfombo
Summary
I am a compassionate and motivated 3rd year nursing student with clinical experience as an Assistant in Nursing in the Paediatrics Ward and Special Care Nursery at Maitland Hospital. I have completed diverse clinical placements across perioperative, mental health, aged care, and community nursing settings. I believe I am a team player with strong communication skills and have the ability work both independently and part of the multidisciplinary teams. I am passionate about paediatric and neonatal health and I have a strong commitment to uphold NSW Health CORE values and the NMBA Registered Nurse Standards for Practice. I am eager to learn and grow and start my journey as a Registered Nurse through a New Graduate program. I hope to bring enthusiasm, resilience, and a growth mindset to the workplace where I can continue to build my clinical confidence and deliver high quality, person centred care that encompass NSW health core values.
