PORT MACQUARIE,NSW
Summary
With 16 years of diverse nursing experience both in Australia and internationally, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my role as a Registered Nurse. For the past 12 years, I have dedicated myself to the mission of the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood, specialising in whole blood and plasmapheresis collection. My commitment to fostering a supportive environment has been instrumental in encouraging regular blood and plasma donations, emphasising the importance of donor engagement and satisfaction.
Adept at performing phlebotomy procedures with precision and efficiency, I adhere strictly to quality and Therapeutic Goods Administration standards, ensuring the safety and well-being of both donors and recipients.
In my capacity as a member of the leadership team at the Port Macquarie Donor Centre, I have demonstrated strong leadership qualities, providing support to fellow staff and donors alike. My strong interpersonal skills and dedication to excellent customer service are evident in my interactions with donors, where I assess their suitability for donation and provide support throughout the donation process and beyond.
I thrive in collaborative environments, where I contribute valuable insights and expertise to enhance operational efficiency and meet organisational KPIs, ultimately ensuring the safe and reliable supply of blood and blood products to recipients.
