• I am a motivated and compassionate Registered Adult Nurse with experience working as a Band 5 Staff Nurse with trauma and orthopaedics permanently for 1.5 years, alongside continued practice as a Band 5 bank nurse across the South Eastern Trust within multiple different clinical wards. I am now seeking a permanent position with either full time or part time hours. I am committed to delivering high-quality, safe patient-centred care and am always willing to improve skills and gain experience from different clinical settings.
• I hold a BSc (Hons) 2:2 in Adult Nursing and gained valuable post-registration experience working full time on Ward 4B, Trauma and Orthopaedics over the course of 2021 - 2022. In this role, I was responsible for delivering safe, effective nursing care to pre and post operative patients with acute and complex needs. I carried out comprehensive patient assessments, monitored acute observations pre and post operatively, and contributed to the development and evaluation of individualized care plans alongside the multidisciplinary team.

• Effective communication is central to my nursing practice. I communicate clearly and compassionately with patients and their families, ensuring they are informed, supported, and involved in decisions regarding their care. I always ensure to be an advocate for those who may be unable to speak for themselves. I work collaboratively with multidisciplinary team members, including doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and senior nursing staff, to promote continuity of care, helping to achieve positive patient outcomes. I value feedback and use this reflective practice to improve my work.
• During my time as a full-time Band 5 Staff Nurse, I developed leadership and delegation skills by supporting junior staff, nursing students and healthcare assistants, ensuring tasks were appropriately allocated while maintaining accountability for patient care. I am confident in prioritising workloads in busy clinical environments and adapting to the changing demands of different wards, while remaining calm and professional at all times.
• My continued work as Band 5 bank nurse, has strengthened my adaptability and ability to integrate quickly into different ward environments. This experience has enhanced my confidence, organisational skills, and understanding of diverse patient needs while maintaining high professional standards at all times. I always ensure to treat all patient and colleagues with dignity and respect.
• My previous experience as a Senior Nursing Assistant and Care Assistant has provided me with a strong foundation in person-centred care, dignity, and respect. I am alongside the skills to build this foundation.
• I would class myself as a reliable, organised, and enthusiastic nurse who is committed to learning and professional development. I am eager to contribute positively to the team and to uphold the values of the trust / team by delivering compassionate, safe, and effective care. I am seeking a full-time or part-t Staff Nurse role where I can continue to grow professionally while providing high-quality care to patients.
