A highly motivated and compassionate newly qualified adult nurse with experience in both community and secondary care. I possess strong knowledge of patient care, effective communication, and maintaining a safe, high-quality healthcare environment. Adept at building positive relationships with patients and colleagues, I demonstrate empathy, reliability, and professionalism in all aspects of my practice.

I obtained my NMC pin in February 2025 and am available for immediate employment. Throughout my training, I have consistently embodied the 6 Cs of nursing—care, compassion, competence, communication, courage, and commitment—earning positive feedback from practice assessors and staff, as documented in my PebblePad portfolio. Committed to delivering patient-centred care, I am eager to contribute my organizational, interpersonal, and clinical skills to a registered nursing role, aligning with the core values of patient-first care, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

During a patient handover, I identified a potential case of urinary retention when the night staff reported no urination overnight. Recognizing the clinical risk, I promptly conducted a bladder scan, which revealed over 1000ml of retained urine, indicating a high risk for infection and potential bladder or kidney damage. I communicated these findings to the patient and their family, actively listening to their concerns and addressing their apprehensions about catheterization, especially considering the patient's dementia and the infection risks involved.

With a patient-centered approach in mind, I initially implemented non-invasive interventions, encouraging the patient to sit on the commode several times throughout the day and carefully monitoring their input and output. I conducted repeat bladder scans after each attempt to void, ensuring ongoing, accurate assessment of the patient's condition. Despite these efforts, the patient was unable to pass urine, requiring escalation. I collaborated with the NIC, my mentor, and the out-of-hours doctor to ensure timely intervention.

Throughout the process, I maintained thorough medical documentation, ensuring continuity of care and clear communication among the multidisciplinary team. As the patient lacked mental capacity and their next of kin was reluctant to proceed with catheterization, I navigated a sensitive discussion, advocating for the best clinical outcome.

This experience underscored my strengths in clinical decision-making, patient and family communication, problem-solving, meticulous monitoring, documentation, and collaborative teamwork—all of which contributed to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care.

As I transition into a registered nursing role in secondary care, I am committed to early intervention and escalation. I recognize the importance of promptly identifying deteriorating patients, such as those with a high NEWS score, initiating SEPSIS-SIX, administering pain relief without delay, and maintaining high standards of aseptic non-touch technique (ANTT). Furthermore, I understand that clinical symptoms can present differently among BAME patients, which makes cultural awareness a vital aspect of nursing assessments. This experience strengthened my escalation, documentation skills, and confidence in filling out a Datix report to ensure patient safety and drive quality improvement.

Additionally, I have gained extensive experience in medication calculations and safe administration practices. I am proficient in tablet, capsule, liquid, IV, and weight-based calculations. Throughout my placements, I have safely administered IV fluids and other medications, always seeking guidance from senior staff or referring to Medusa when necessary. I adhere to the Five Rights of Medication Administration and trust policies, ensuring that IV drugs and insulin are verified with another registered nurse before administration.

Effective communication is essential in delivering patient-centered care. I have found that utilizing the SBAR format for handovers has greatly improved clarity and accuracy, ensuring patients' voices are heard and their preferences respected. Reflecting on my experiences, I observed that pain levels were sometimes dismissed or misinterpreted, which inspired my dissertation on chronic pain from both patient and nursing perspectives.

I am dedicated to continuously improving my clinical practice through clinical simulation, training, and mentorship at your trust. One of the reasons I chose to become an adult nurse is my passion for how nursing strives to improve patients' lives through evidence-based practice—an approach that made my cardiac care module particularly enjoyable.

In conclusion, my clinical skills, communication abilities, and compassionate attitude are continually evolving. I am eager to contribute to your trust while further developing my competencies in providing exceptional patient care. I am committed to remaining a compassionate, proficient RN through the 24/7 well-being and training courses at the Southampton NHS Foundation Trust. I am open to exploring a variety of specialties, including cardiac care, geriatrics, cancer care, and gastroenterology.
