Summary
Throughout my first year as a Registered Nurse working within the acute ward and theatre at Murray Bridge Soldiers Memorial Hospital, my dedication to patient focused care has flourished along with my reflection, refinement of current skills, time management, and my thirst for knowledge and learning. I have transferred my love of engaging with people and community, teamwork, and problems solving skills, through my many years serving as a volunteer firefighter with the SA Country Fire Service.
