Summary
I am a passionate and dedicated Registered Nurse with an keen interest of transitioning to the peri/post-operative and theatre setting. Over the last 5 years I have gained experience in Gynaecology, Primary Care and Urgent Care . My previous experience in a fast-paced surgical ward and triaging in urgent care shows I can thrive under stressful circumstances while remaining committed to high standards of patient care and outcomes. I am a highly empathetic individual who cares deeply about helping people in their most vulnerable circumstances. My experience has allowed me to work with people of various ages and helped me quickly gain trust, build rapport and establish confidence in the people that I work with.
