Dedicated mental health nurse with extensive experience in patient care.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate mental health nurse with over 15 years of experience working in various settings, including locked and open wards in both public and private mental health facilities. My journey has been dedicated to providing high-quality care to individuals facing severe mental health challenges. I thrive in multidisciplinary teams, collaborating with healthcare professionals to ensure the best outcomes for my patients.
Throughout my career, I have developed a strong skill set in patient care, including administering medications, conducting vital sign assessments, and providing education and support to both patients and their families. I have also gained valuable experience in ECT treatments and have continuously sought to update my skills through ongoing education and training. My commitment to mental health nursing drives me to seek new opportunities where I can further develop my expertise and contribute positively to patient care.
