Summary
I am compassionate healthcare professional with 10 years of clinical experience in various settings. I have exceptional clinical, theoretical and leadership skills. I am comfortable in fast-paced situations, with proven ability to build positive relationships with patients, family members, physicians and other medical professionals. I am outstanding in managing time, prioritizing tasks and exercising the sound judgment required to improve quality patient care. I have a warm, caring personality with a high level of enthusiasm, compassion, energy and humor. Having been exposed to varied clinical settings (medical and surgical, accident and emergency, stroke rehab, oncology), I have developed the ability and confidence to work with many different people from a variety of backgrounds, acknowledging their requirements and managing their diverse needs. For the past 5 years of working for the NHS, I have found my passion in caring for oncology patients. This experience has opened a new opportunity for learning. I have gained a lot of new skills and expertise to develop not just my professional career but my personal growth as well. I became more empathetic to my patients, giving them emotional support while they are undergoing a life changing and threatening disease. I have become a champion for patient advocacy: ensuring the safety of my patients, listening to their concerns, educating patients, protecting their rights and teaching them to advocate for themselves. While my present role has made me a more competent , efficient and a model nurse, I view learning as a life long process. I do my best to stay on top of new changes and updates in oncology nursing by reading and studying on my own personal time. I am also always open to further education either internal or external trainings.
