Summary
Currently working as practice nurse for Central Gippsland Health Service but unfortunately my contract is a fixed one up to July 2024, and as such if I need to source work that will give as fulfilling a job elsewhere. I do come from a military family so am familiar with military protocols and procedures. Seasoned nursing professional offering proven clinical knowledge, natural interpersonal strengths and technical abilities. Knowledgeable medication administration and interdisciplinary collaboration focused on optimizing patient care and support. Quality-focused and efficiency-driven leader.
