Emerson McGrath
Wellington,WGN
Summary
I am currently completing the New Entry to Specialist Practice (NESP) programme in Wellington which I will at the end of September. After spending 4 year's in Wellington I am eager to move back to my home town of Napier to be closer to my whānau. I have thoroughly enjoyed my two rotations in inpatient and community settings.
I am a compassionate Registered Nurse that works well in a team environment but can confidently work independently when needed. I work well with diverse patient populations and fosters trusting relationships to improve outcomes. I am always striving to improve my practice and am a fast learner. I pride myself on providing person-centred and holistic care to all tangata whaiora.
