Summary
Registered Nurse with years of experience in the Aged Care industry involving assessment, planning, monitoring and evaluating care of patients, medication administration, and symptom management; throughout my career I always had a strong focus in good client service. This patient-centered approach is what drives me to go that extra mile to satisfy the patient's needs and requirements while meeting company standards. It takes focus and experience especially in challenging situations where you have to handle complicated patients and family. I have excellent communication skills, team work, problem solving skills, with engagement and development of client relationships as my core.
