I am a reliable and honest person with good time management skills and can work as part of a team and as an individual.

Nursing is an extremely satisfying career and brings great job satisfaction while making a difference to both patients and family members. While working in a variety of health care settings this has allowed me to strengthen my ability to multi-task and offer the best possible care to all patients. I have previously worked on Lowton ward as a senior health care assistant for 8 years and previously to that I was care assistant then senior care assistant on a EMI unit.

I can understand other people’s perspective and I am able to advocate on a patient’s behalf when required and i am not afraid to speak up for my patients when required.
