Summary
Hard working individual wanting to provide outstanding care and support. Completed preceptorship period of nursing within a hectic A&E department to develop transferable knowledge and skills which can be applied to any job role. I have the key requirements to manage busy workloads, handle difficult situations in a professional manor and abide by all work place policies whilst remaining caring and professional to all individuals. I have been successful in delivering high quality care in highly stressful and demanding situations which I believe is a highly valuable skill to have within any profession.
