Hamilton,ON
Summary
I have been a Registered Practical Nurse since 2017. I have been working for St Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton since July 2019, currently working in the Fracture and Orthopedic Clinic. During this time, I have gained experienced in fast-paced and challenging environments within medical, surgical and specialized acute care settings for delivering client-centered medical attention. This experience has given me a broad knowledge base of a wide variety of client issues. I have experience working in a variety of different environments in hospital as well as within the clinic setting. I have learned to effectively time manage, build client/nurse relationships and work well within a team as well as autonomously. I am seeking a challenging work environment where I can utilize and build upon my skills to the fullest extent.
