Summary
I am dedicated to building deep connections with patients while addressing their emotional and physical needs. My goal is to deliver patient-centred care that empowers patient's autonomy while also advocating for their health. I will engage in evidence-based practice to prevent adverse events and display effective time management to ensure safe, holistic patient care. My responsibility as a nurse extends beyond individual patients by including colleagues, the public, the nursing profession, and oneself.
