Summary

I am a newly graduated nurse who is looking to improve my skills in all aspects of nursing. I have worked in a small animal practice based in Leigh for the past 3 years whilst doing my training and since qualifying. I enjoy all aspects of nursing but particularly enjoy nurse consultations. I have experience monitoring anaesthetic including paedreatric and neonatal patients. I have experience in orders such as general stock, controlled drug orders and controlled drug audits. I am looking to further my skills in a busy but well supported practice.
