Summary
Throughout my healthcare career, which commenced in domiciliary care and has taken me through the completion of two apprenticeships to a registered nurse I have continuously remained compassionate and driven. I have continued to evolve my skills in patient care and health education. I believe I have excellent communication and problem-solving abilities, which support delivering holistic, patient-centred services. I always aim to improve patient health and well-being through dedicated care and support.
My time in community nursing has allowed me to become confident and competent in many areas of nursing care. And I am excited to look for new career opportunities where I can transfer already obtained skills and knowledge and continue to professionally develop my nursing career.
