RAE GEAR
Summary
I am a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Nursing Science from James Cook University and clinical experience across acute and subacute settings. I completed my graduate program in both the West and East wards at Mareeba Hospital, where I have developed my clinical skills, critical thinking, and leadership capabilities within multidisciplinary teams. I am now focused on transitioning into emergency nursing to broaden my scope of practice and contribute to high-acuity care. With a background in hospitality and dance instruction, I bring excellent communication, adaptability, and professionalism to every interaction and team environment—qualities I’m eager to bring to a dynamic emergency department team.
