Summary

I have extensive experience in multiple areas of face to face nursing, most recently in the emergency department. I am competent in organisational skills to maintain flow and optimal care within a busy ED and pride myself in my approachability and ability to team lead. I have the ability to remain calm in life threatening or high risk situations which then in turn assists others to do so. I am confident in educating and mentoring new staff, both junior and senior nursing staff, and new medical staff.

My role as Rapid Intervention Nurse allows me to practice independently and to advocate for safe patient care.
