Summary
Dedicated registered nurse with three years of experience of working on a busy trauma and orthopaedic ward. I have gained knowledge and experience and have a great rapport with staff which makes a shift at work enjoyable.
I joined university and wanted to be a nurse shortly after my grandad passed away after experiencing his time in hospital and then caring for him at home along side my mum during his final days. I am compassionate and have a very relaxed personality, I am always looking to learn new things and expand my knowledge.
