• ACT Ambulance Service (ACTAS) placements have been essential to my clinical development by allowing me to put the skills which have learnt into practice. I have assisted in providing care for patient presentations of varying acuity to the satisfaction of my patients and supervising paramedics.
• ACT Health Nursing Placement, Nursing placements served as an invaluable aspect of developing myself as a now Registered Nurse. The variety of placement in critical care, community, and mental health settings have allowed me to enhance my capacity to practice and develop a range of skills.
