Summary

I am a highly motivated, compassionate, empathetic, hard-working semester 8 nursing student at Dalhousie University. I am a very dynamic individual who enjoys working with many different individuals of all ages. I am able to work as a team with many diverse individuals. I am a quick study and always strive to improve my skills and weaknesses by learning from others around me both directly and indirectly. I have completed clinical placements at DGH emergency department, DGH Cardiac unit, HI 7.3 Neurosurgery and am currently completing my final placement at 3IMCU. With 3 years of experience as a homecare worker I have been able to continue building both my physical nursing skills and relational skills with my patients and their family.
