Summary

I have been a Registered Nurse for 5 years at Quinte Health. I have experience in geriatric, surgical, intensive care, and acute medicine nursing. I take part in orienting new staff and I frequently fill in as the In-Charge Nurse when Patient Care Leads are not available. I began taking part in union work 1 year ago and I look forward to continuing to play the part in creating positive change in the workplace to benefit both nurses and patients while also fulfilling the role as a Registered Nurse.
