Summary

I have a background in an acute medical ward specialised in aged care, with a lot of experience in surgical and medical wards from casual work. I am a hard working compassionate and dedicated registered nurse with over a year and a half experience in providing high quality patient centered care in acute fast pace hospital environments. I have the proven ability to access patients' needs, develop individual care plans, educate patients and families, and strong communication skills to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to enhance and deliver high quality patient outcomes. I demonstrate effective skills when recognizing and responding to a deteriorating patient appropriately to ensure an effective outcome.
