Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate Registered Nurse with over two years of recent experience delivering high-quality, patient-centered care across various long-term care facilities in Canada. My journey in healthcare began in 2015 after completing my nursing education in India, where I gained over four years of diverse hospital experience in Medicine, Gynecology, Surgical, Birthing, and Chemotherapy units. Upon moving to Canada, I further advanced my clinical knowledge by completing a Nursing Leadership and Management program at Seneca College and a Community Mental Health program at Niagara College. I began my Canadian practice as a Registered Practical Nurse in a mental health-focused long-term care setting before transitioning to my current role as an RN. Throughout my career, I've consistently demonstrated strong clinical skills, adaptability, and a commitment to evidence-based practice. I am now eager to bring my broad experience and passion for acute care to a Hospital setting where I can continue growing and contributing meaningfully.
