Summary
I am a professionally registered Adult Nurse with over five years of clinical experience across acute and intermediate care settings. My background includes extensive work in medical-surgical acute wards, as well as valuable experience in post-anaesthetic care, where I developed strong assessment, stabilisation, and recovery management skills. I am currently working within the NHS in an elderly intermediate care unit, where I provide holistic, goal-oriented support to promote rehabilitation and safe discharge planning. Through these roles, I have gained solid expertise in acute care, case management, clinical decision-making, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I am now seeking to bring this experience, together with the professionalism and compassion I bring to my practice, to the Adult Registered Nurse position within your organisation.
