Summary
I am a compassionate Registered Nurse with experience offering comprehensive patient care in outpatient environments for a while now. I started as a Registered in a hospital setting in the Philippines and pursued my career here in Australia until I became a part of the big team at the Outpatient Dialaysis. Now, I have ventured into a different type of nursing which is in Dental Nursing and I am loving learning new things as well as enhancing my knowledge in this area.
I work well with diverse patient populations and fosters trusting relationships to improve outcomes. Efficiently coordinate with healthcare professionals to a quality and advance patient care.
