Confident, highly motivated friendly nurse seeking a new and challenging role in medicine, upgrade skills and grow with the organization. To secure a position with a healthcare agency or institution where I can utilize my skills and knowledge of patient care I am self- motivated and proactive with ability to display commitment to both to job and the patients in a way that respected the dignity of the individual.
I pay particular interest in midwifery since I was a little girl. I found it as a very rewarding role to be able to help and educate and support women in their very special time in their lives. As you can see on my CV I started to shadow midwifes at my late teens.
