Summary
I have been working with Bayshore Home Care Solutions for 8 years. I started providing care in-home before accepting a full-time position in the clinic. During my time here I have developed a strong skill set, and furthered my education by participating in multiple Wounds Canada courses including my IIWCC certificate. I have applied this knowledge to my daily practice and help train new and fellow employees to succeed in their position. I have proven my value to my peers, being a resource and a person they can count of for assistance. I value my ability to manage my time even during high-stress situations. I collaborate well with other nurses, management, and the interprofessional team to optimize patient care. I am strong listener and I am able to apply feedback to my practice.
