- Gastrointestinal 

- Plastics

- Tropical disease

In 2001,  I began the graduate nurse program at Melbourne Private Hospital.

During my rotations I gained valuable experience in 

Neuro/ Vascular

Medical/ Surgical

Gynaecology

During my rotation at Frances Perry House I was offered a full scholarship to study Peri- Operative Nursing at Melbourne University.

I then completed this course in 2002.

Worked within dental boutique’s practicing mobile anaesthetics. This type of anaesthetic care was based around TIVA and ventilation via an oxylog ventilator.

This was a very autonomous position that required confidence and specific skill set to ensure best patient care.

• Monitored patients, evaluated results and recommended further courses of treatment to quickly improve patient outcomes.
• Assessed patient conditions by performing thorough examinations and asking appropriate medical questions.
• Interviewed patients to obtain medical information, weight and height measurements and vital signs.
• Ordered lab tests and interpreted test results and maintained patient records.
