Hi, I’m

RENEE WARD

Nurse
Corby,Northamptonshire

Summary

As a registered nurse with several years of experience, I am passionate about providing top-quality healthcare services to patients. In my career, I have gained expertise in various nursing skills, such as medication administration, physical assessments, care plan development, wound care, and IV therapy. As a nurse, I pride myself on my ability to establish strong relationships with patients and their families by demonstrating compassion, empathy, and active listening skills. I am highly organised, detail-oriented, and possess excellent critical thinking skills that allow me to provide safe care and make sound decisions in critical situations. I have excellent leadership skills, which I have demonstrated by being appointed a leader early into my career as a band five nurse. During the pandemic, I adapted quickly to the challenges and was redeployed to work in ITU to support critically ill patients. I am a quick learner, calm, and confident in managing complex and challenging situations. My goal is to continue providing evidence-based care, constantly seeking opportunities for personal and professional growth, and contributing positively to the healthcare team.
