    • HEALTH CARE AUSTRALIA / SONIC HEALTH PLUS/ WACHS, Registered Nurse / OH&S Professional
      • Dec 2014 - Present

      On a casual basis, I have worked as a registered nurse and OH&S professional across a diversity of workplaces and facilities, within a range of medical units and health care departments (e.g. emergency, day surgery and rehabilitation). This includes providing medical care and support, as well as OH&S and other training and assessments across various mines sites (e.g. BHP Macedon gas plant, Yandi and Roy Hill iron ore, and Lanfranchi underground nickel). It also includes nursing and broader health care across various metro, regional and rural medical facilities (e.g. Albany, Esperance, Rockingham, Nannup, Boyup Brook, Pemberton, Kalgoorlie, Katanning, Donnybrook, Narrogin and Bunbury hospitals, Hyden and Walpole nursing posts . In all capacities, as both a senior-level nurse and OH&S specialist, I have continually showcased my commitment to safety, quality and proficiency. A prime example of this is when I was temporarily working as a clinical nurse within Esperance Hospital’s chemotherapy unit, where I initiated the implementation of standard operating procedures and systems to better ensure compliance and best practice. The system and process improvements I introduced at Esperance Hospital included developing an orientation package, systematising patient bookings and data records, and implementing more rigorous equipment checks and safety controls. This safety- and proficiency-oriented initiative was officially recognised by the hospital’s senior management, along with my interpersonal and professional ‘can do’ attitude towards positive changes and practices.
