Summary

In my role as a caring and dedicated registered nurse, with experience of more than 20 years in hospitals, I believe I excel in delivering quality patient care and possess a wide range of clinical skills. Over the years, I have worked in both public and private hospitals, where I gained valuable experiences with both patients and co-workers that have improved patient-centred care. Throughout my professional journey, I have developed my ability to critically think and make sound clinical judgements.
