Summary
I am currently an Enrolled Nurse who is close to completing my Bachelor of Nursing to become a Registered Nurse. I strive to consistently convey an excitement and passion for nursing while promoting core nursing values. This is largely achieved through role modelling such behaviours in all types of healthcare and learning environments, both formal and informal. As a nurse, I am aware of the effect that my behavior and attitudes can have in shaping others' perceptions of nursing, and therefore, I maintain a high level of professionalism at all times.
