Nitu Rana

I am a very dedicated and motivated nursing graduate, and I am excited to join a Registered Nurse Programme and help the healthcare community in Australia. I am a healthcare professional who pays attention and is focused, and I have experience of working in hospitals for 5 year as a ICU nurse. I have experience assessing patients, giving them medications, documentation and working in team with confidence. I also have completed my 800 placement in different fields where I gained confidence in every aspect of nursing field. I am proficient at working with other professionals to coordinate care and with patients and their families to provide compassionate, evidence-based nursing care. I want to become an excellent nurse in Australia, so I want to learn more and gain experience working for a leading healthcare organisation.
