Georgie Pope

My introduction to Nursing started in January 2022, on an elective surgical ward at St George’s Hospital Christchurch New Zealand. My new graduate year was composed of completing the nursing entry into practice programme(NETP) which has allowed me to be supported, safe, confident, and skilled in the nursing workforce environment. The experience I have acquired over my new graduate and second year as a registered nurse has allowed me to thrive in different work environments enhancing my clinical skills associated with all types of elective surgery. I value my goal as a nurse; to be caring, honest, reliable, professional and to apply sound knowledge in all care I provide. My passion for nursing lies within the surgical field and I would love the opportunity to consolidate my nursing experience in these areas further. I believe the experience I have gained over the past 18 months will allow me to effectively work in this environment to achieve identified patient healthcare outcomes.

• I have developed comprehensive communication skills over my NetP year as new graduate nurse and 2nd year as a registered Nurse. My communication skills have been developed by engaging in therapeutic relationships and have been highly commended by other health professionals and colleagues.
• Organisational skills have been crucial during my 18 months as a registered nurse. I have demonstrated that I can manage my time effectively when delivering, prioritising, and planning nursing care. I ensure I work autonomously and with a team when planning, prioritising, and delivering patient care.
• I have proven patient advocacy by allowing patients to have a voice and maintain autonomy over their health decisions, as well as maintaining their dignity, privacy, and confidentiality. I escalate patient care with the members of the workplace where necessary, and challenge decision-making if I feel improvement can be made.
• Self-awareness of personal attributes has allowed me to respectfully understand and engage in diverse cultures and personal behaviours, to apply a level of care which is culturally and ethically appropriate to all healthcare consumers.
• I have demonstrated responsibility and accountability through my dedication to the nursing profession. I adhere to the standards of the profession governed by the nursing council, and clinically accept responsibility for the care I provide. I am a critical thinker who will hold myself and others accountable to achieve a high standard of health care.
  

I appreciate and value time spent with family and friends. I enjoy physical activity, particularly going to the gym, tramping, mountain running, water sports, and team sports. I like to help out communities and people as this gives me happiness and a sense of pride.
