Summary
I currently work a 0.8 EFT (64hrs in a fortnight) on Ward 6 Gynaecology/Oncology, HDU or Day Chemotherapy, depending on staffing, acuity and my rostering allocations.
My work experience is currently related to the course in which I am applying for as I work on a unit that provides care for oncology patients with gynaecological cancers. As well as on our Day Chemotherapy Unit administering IV chemotherapy and providing patient centered care to these women.
I have a compassionate and dedicated work ethic and I am commitment to patient care and patient well-being. I have the foundational skills to provide care in these healthcare settings I currently work in, but would love to be able to expand my knowledge further in a way that allows me to link the care that we provide for our women with an increased breadth of knowledge this course will give me.
I love our oncology patients that I have the pleasure of caring for in chemotherapy, and on the ward and I will appreciate and cherish the enhancement I will gain from this course to provide a higher standard of care to patients and their families.
