Summary
From a young age, I have always been passionate about nursing and enthusiastic to learn more and always help others. Beyond my theoretical knowledge, I have a vast experience from working as a Scrub/Scout Nurse for nearly three years and prior to this I have worked as an Assistant in Nursing, which has enabled me to respond to contemporary challenges, developed my ability to perform and also adapt to numerous situations. I believe I can offer my knowledge, skills and experience to provide safe, professional and person-centered care which facilitates the building of therapeutic relationships with patients as well as their families and/or carers.
